Default Jackpots, PC V, SEAC - Rt side louder than Lt side?

Hi all! I just installed the Jackpots, PC V, and the SEAC from Fuelmoto on my 09 EGC and have noticed that when cracking the throttle, the right pipe is noticeably louder than the left pipe but they seem to equal out when cruising. Does anyone else have this experience?

I wonder if this is normal since the exhaust goes from 2 to 1 and then back to 2 but that the right side is a straight shot to the right pipe and the left side must make two 90 degree bends to get to the left pipe which may resist the flow of exhaust to the left pipe and make it easier for the sound to leave at the right side.

Thanks
Conrad

Hello, this is due to the asymmetric design of the baffle system in the Jackpot mufflers.

Just put mine on yesterday. Strange......, almost seems like the left is sucking air at idle. The end of the muffler is cold?? Don't know how you do it Jamie, but it works. Noticeable power increase, not too loud at cruise, and I can make a lot of noise when I want to. Thanks for a great product.
