Not trying to be an ***, but if you really believe your exhaust may be causing you problems that could possibly force you to reclass from a job you like, then you need to change it. If not, then maybe they should reclass you to a MOS that does not require much common sense cuz I think you might be lacking. Again, not trying to be mean, but exhaust sound aint worth that.

This is a huge site and because of that, you'll get the bad and the good that comes with a lot of traffic.
There are few terrific threads and a few terrific people here as well, but isn't it the way it is in life anyway?

Mustang exhaust can't be kilin your hearing, in mu opinion anyway. I'm a retired Navy Firecontrolman Gun type, I have been arounf]d 5 inch and 16 inch from the battleship days, and have no hearing disabilities, just spelling and typing. I also hae a stroked big block Ford wit ha loose 3 inch exhust. If you are suffering hearing loss, it would be my opinion that it's from a pre-existing condition, but whatever you do, do not mention it at an entrance exam!

So, OK, maybe I'll offer something a little more constructive. To the OP, you feel pressure on your tympanic membrane if the pressure on the outside of your ear drum is greater than the pressure of your inner ear. The human skull equalizes the two pressures on its own by the popping effect you feel when you change altitudes quickly. You can do it on your own using the Valsalva technique.
So what on your exhaust system can cause the atmosphere in the cabin to increase faster than the pressure in your inner ear can keep up? The answer is nothing, since hopefully your exhaust doesn't enter the cabin (though you haven't stated that specifically, but I'll make that assumption since you're still alive). If anything, the vents on your dashboard have more of a chance of doing that, similar to positive pressure ventilation techniques used in the fire service. But it's not that, either. You have a slight head cold, congestion, or inner ear infection. You're noticing it because your tympanic membrane is a little more sensative than it usually is.
But if you don't believe me, please, by all means feel free to spend hundreds of dollars swapping out your exhaust, wheels, transmission, door handles, etc.

Yeah, exactly, and you probably never will, since I'm over the age of 12.
