Simple oversights happen to the best mechanics. This is why you want to do your own work. Now you know it can happen and from now on you'll be extra c...
It still sounds like a low voltage condition to me. Have you measured the battery voltage (on the battery posts, not the cable ends) at different RPM ...
The ones by Mac are one step louder than stock, without being "throaty" or obnoxious. I have not heard the Emgo mufflers yet. Actually, any stock ...
