I take it that you mean you installed the Power Stick with the exhaust flow in the opposite direction than the sticker that was marked on the bullet as the inlet. I installed mine the way that it was marked on the muffler, can you hear much of a difference with the way that you have your's installed?

When we say against the grain, that would mean the the air is flowing into the cups like so...

Going against the grain will do more for rasp than going with the grain. You can also get a bunch of different lengths of power sticks which will affect how much rasp they take out. I went with a 30 incher and couldn't have been happier.

For the powerstick users:
Okay, let me make sure I'm understanding this.
You guys installed the powerstick backwards? Like exhaust flow reversed so exhaust goes in the opposite end into the little open cups and comes out the other end? And if so, you believe this improved the sound?
I've got a powerstick on mine, installed the way that was recommended on the muffler. It's off of a catted Y pipe and dumped before the axle.
You guys think I could improve the sound if I flipped it around?
I was already considering buying another powerstick or an XR1 and running it to the back through another muffler then having it dump out back to improve the sound.

But yes I installed it backwards like you said. The exhaust gases flow in the little grooves instead of going over them

I got all of my components installed. I had the valence blended into the bumper put some stainless tips on it from 6LE. I had the cats placed right at the headers, and had the y custom fabbed with the flowmaster merge. I have a bout 4.5-4.75" clearance at the lowest point of the exhaust. I think it turned out really well, and it sounds great. Its quiet when cruising and sounds amazing when I lay into the throttle. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
