Thermal Exhaust??????????

I installed the thermal exhaust (street) Its seems loud on the interstate when accelerating and at 3000 rpm. I just took a 2 hour drive and my ears are ringing. How do you tell if its the street or race version? I don't have anyone close, that I know of, to hear their's. I will contact eurocode on Monday. The product was easy to install and appears to be very well built. Any thoughts????

Look down the pipes- If you don't see any baffles, it's probably the race. If you do, street.

I didn't notice it getting quieter after 1500mi break in...

in fact, I just kept getting more and more annoyed with it. It used to frustrate me that when I would turn my head to talk to my passenger at 2500RPM it would pound my eardrums something awefull.

I know others here love that sound but I couldn't stand it. I ended up lining the trunk with about 50sqft of Brown Bread (from Be-Quiet).

Since then, it's been great. I still have the aggresive sound just not the pounding.
