new Thermal 3 inch vs old Thermal 3 inch

[561]

Had a Thermal 3 inch on my 2022 very loud liked it - sold the 22 and bought my 2025 bought a Thermal 3 inch from Lethal.

What I got is not what I had.

These pipes are no where near as loud as my 22 set. Actually, louder than the stock pipes but not by much. Not sure what the HELL they did to them between 22 and 25 but what a big difference.

Then I read on here where people are complaining they are to loud W T F - not sure what the HELL they're listening to cause these pipes are anemic and the AWE are virtually as bad. What a F'ing waste of money ...

and the other thing I forgot to mention is "what's up with the exhaust tips and the clamping on the muffler - as in can't - get them tight unless you rent a Gorilla to tighten them and even then they are slightly loose" - good grief

I'm betting it's more a product of the newer car (engine changes downpipe differences etc) than the pipes... just my 2 cents
I've got a 3"... its louder than stock at start up.. then drops down... but when in "Sport" and mashing the go fast pedal... its "Lively"

Hopefully the exhaust breaks in a bit for you. My 2.5 is not what I would consider loud but significantly louder than factory.
