Does the Edge = Louder Exhaust????

Hey all,

I meant to post this sooner. Anyway, I got my Edge right before the price increase (good thing to!) Anyway, I've been real happy with it. Not troubles at all. The one thing I seemed to notice though is? It seems that my Magnaflow exhaust is now a little louder than before. Is it just me or could the Edge actually make some sort of change resulting in my exhaust sounding louder?

I am not complaining at all as I love this change (if indeed the Edge made it louder) but I was curious if I'm just imagining this or if any of you did indeed notice the same thing after installing your Edge????

I didnt notice anything, I think a cai might change the sound a little.

It's probably because you enjoy the extra power so you unconsciously hit the gas more

It does change the tone but not how loud it is because you are changing the timing.

Thanks Andy-jr. That must be it! The tone is probably what I am noticing then. That and what NHSP-06 said: A lead foot!

What you're hearing is the effects of revised fuel tables. More fuel is being injected at certain points, so the engine is slightly louder.

I think my truck got louder for sure. When I turn it on and just listen to it idle it sounds louder and definitely a different tune.

The other thing I have noticed is that I now hear my CAI more than I used to before I installed my Edge.

I've been running Level 2. Haven't tried Level 3 yet. I wonder how much of a difference I'll notice when I do run Level 3 versus Level 2???

Thumbs up I think so

I think mine got a little more throaty w/ my Edge, but I'm not exactly sure how it would but it seems if though mine has gotten a tad bit louder, especially around 60-65 mph. But I ain't fussin, I can't wait to get my exhaust
