I am glad the sound is common and my tone is normal and not excessive. Part of the reason I ended up at this point is taking the less expensive and piece together mindset from the beginning. First the resonated test pipes, then Y pipe and straight mid pipes and finally g2 intake. The sound was affected instantly when I installed the obx y pipe.
The straight mid pipes were added after and they actually smoothed out the sound a bit. I have a different y pipe coming in that I will have in friday. I am praying the sound is specific to the obx y pipe or more pronounced. The next step is an aftermarket muffler replacing the stock one with the same transverse style. This can help improve the flow and the sound greatly.
After installing the intake today and test driving, I was amazed at the power difference. It feels like a v8 pulling hard all the way to redline and sounds mean. I would not trade the hiss for the old y pipe because the power increase is too great. I will keep you guys updated after friday
