Default LT Headers killed my Bad A** Sounding Exhaust, Why???

Man I used to have an awesome sound with stock manifolds, Bassani X-pipe w/ cats and Borla catback system(stingers), never heard so many compliments on the MEAN sound. But after BBK's Longtube install and BBk's catted x-pipe, my exhaust souns like HOT GARBAGE. I still have the Borla stingers on there, is it he BBK catted X-pipe??? I thouhgt my exhaust would be even meaner with LT's???

my bbk lt's made my exhaust sound so much louder. It woke up my gt. What kind of garbage did it add to the sound?

I may have to just cut and weld my bassani mid pipe to fit the LT's and scrap the BBK x-pipe. I want my sound back(at the tone of a crying 5 year old) But I DO love the gains from the LT's, can't complain about that at all.

its definitely the midpipe. i would have tried to modify the bassani x pipe cause it sounds soo much better and refined than the cheap bbk piece.

Try puttin on an o/r midpipe, or you might have an exhaust leak somewhere. My car sounded badass with just my 1 chambered flowmasters, but ever since I installed my o/r h-pipe back in January, it sounds like sh*t. I know I have a leak and need to have it fixed at a shop.

H pipes sound much better... especially with LT's.
