Message	another of the same or similar kind, but I want to keep the muffler/X-pipe, I just want to find out if anyone else has this combination to make sure it is an issue caused by individual parts, not by that general type of parts or that setup. Besides, I know others have Stillen mufflers and X-pipe with stock precats / cats, and it doesn't sound like that. When you said change exhaust, I thought you meant from the test pipes and back, and I didn't want to do that. Also, I'd like to find out if anyone else has had and solved this problem before I start changing parts like crazy. I didn't necessarily mean I didn't want to change anything, just not the WHOLE system, obviously that would work since it wasn't like this before. Why look for it if someone else knows what it is?
