try a side pipe? did look at the hangers before you pulled the pipes off? the left one on my car was vibrating against the gas tank, turned out to be a broken down rubber piece on the hanger

Give it a few days...it grows on ya. Then, if you still don't like it put the tailpipes back on and say to yourself the car is too quiet now and cut them back off. Been there, done that.

I know how you feel... I am dumping my Magna Flows right now and hate it. I just got the Cobra Bumper and can't wait to put the tailpipes back on. (I think it sounds better)
