i think they are, the car drives great with them. maybe its just a natural sound... no biggie just wondering on it. i mean the exhaust isnt pumping that hard at those rpms, so maybe its just the wind or something

Pluss if it only does it in 4th or 5th it could be your tranny! Just because it sounds like its coming from the back doesnt mean it is. sound transfers really well through that drive train
