Start up question

Hey guys,

Right now I'm running on the stock DP and when I start up, it's about as loud as an aftermarket DP. If I wait a while, it settles down a bit, but will get loud if I'm between 1k and 1.5k.

Thoughts on what this might be?

No, the exhaust is Stock right now. I was thinking maybe a gasket blew between the dp and cat back

Yeap, mine was like this as well. I would say the ops sound would be more of a tick though if it were a manifold leak. Mine ticked really bad under load until I replaced the gasket.
