Default Car is quieter than usual

Over the past couple of days I think my car has gotten quieter at cruising speeds. At idle outside of the car it sounds the same and at WOT it sounds the same, but just cruising it sounds quieter. I may just be getting used to it, but I don't know. Any suggestions?


BTW, I have Kook's LT's with catted Y and GMMG

Yea you're just getting used to it. Unless you can data-log w/autotap or HPTuners and figure out if your motor is runnin off somehow? Wouldn't see why tho.

Getting used to it or it is just breaking in. 99% sure you have gotten used to it. Happened to me when I went from stock to magnaflow.

Which I can do. Not a half bad idea.

With your new set up, changes in fuel, timing, etc. that result in the engine operating slightly different are detectable via the sound. Mine does the same thing and I have LTs, catted y and GMMG. Some times I can notice distinct difference in the sound.

I agree with DaddySS. When Im doing some tuning, just going from slightly positive to negative on my fuel trims is enough to make an audible difference. Its very easy for atmospheric conditions to make a difference in the way the car runs / sounds.

Does it come and go? I've had this set-up for about 6 months. I figured any changing would have already happened.
