Default tightened up H-pipe, got some questions

ok, so i got the proper bolt and put it on and tightened the o/r hpipe up at the headers as hard as i could (and i'm a stud). then i reconnected the flowmaster cat back, again as tight as i could. i restarted it, and it sounded better, but it still has a little chop to it, if you know what i mean. without that bolt i totally had a leak on the passenger side, and it sounded choppy as hell. i used to go blap blap blap blap etc. now its just right on start up, and whenever i rev it high. i figure its just the exhaust free flowing. it sounds good don't get me wrong, i just want to make sure that i got it right.

does anyone have a sound clip of an o/r h pipe from INSIDE the cabin???

it should be fairly on the quiet side if all your exhaust is bolted up right. you might need to go to an exhaust shop and get the bell on your exhaust pipe expanded. i had to do that to mine before it didnt make that sound anymore. i know exactly what you mean.
