Default Performance

Okay so I got my Cold Air Intake installed... K&N 77 series...looks good sounds good... and I got my exhaust done at a shop saturday... I didn't get mandrel bent pipes though because they wanted twice the price and I don't think I'd get much of a power gain vs. the reg pipes... they took off all the mufflers and stuff they fabed their own pipes...they did single straight pipes put an Xlerator mufler on... they said they were gonna do a magnaflow but they put this one on...they said it was the same design as a magnaflow...but not as loud...as they know I'm looking more for perfomance than sound... anyway I have a few qeustions....

1.) So with my CAI, when I take my foot of the gas I hear it kinda spool down... Is is supposed to make a sound like that when you let off the gas?

2.) Has anyone heard of this Xlerator brand... I mean I like the way it sounds...not too much cab noise...and not too lound but loud enough you know its there... is the muffler any good?

1. Yes, that is a normal sound. My last car did that on accel and decel.

2. From what I have heard it is a pretty decent brand. If you want some more info on them here is the website. www.goerlichs.com
