call me crazy...but

several weeks ago, I ordered a new set of CME tips because my old ones had broken apart. at that time, I was informed that SLP had added a back brace to the tips for added support.

I had them polished,

and then installed.

When the new tips were installed, the original stainless, mandrel bent elbows were replaced with aluminized pipe. :dunce:

Anyway, I used to set off car alarms nearly everytime I cruised through downtown St. Augustine, but have not heard one go off since the new tips were installed. :confused:

I have even had one person tell me my car is not quite as loud as it was. To be honest, it sounds as loud as ever to me, and I have a pretty good ear. :dunno:

Well, if you can't tell the difference than decibel level must be pretty close.

Very nice job of polishing the tips btw. :cool:

you know what?

the old tips were a bit crooked and probably projected the exhaust note a bit more to the side. maybe that's why the car alarms seem to be silent now. :fly:

Wow, they were that crooked? Certainly a possibility.

no, I was joking. :D

they were slightly crooked before, but I really doubt it was enough to matter that much acoustically.
