    What exactly did you get? Is it stock OEM or aftermarket? What condition is your catback portion of the exhaust?

    You were saying its still loud, so I was asking what condition is it in, as in is it rusty or anything like that. You may have a hole rusted through at the muffler or prior to the muffler which can make it loud. If you only replaced the cats, you may have a leak at the manifold as well. You or a mechanic will really need to inspect it in person to determine why it is loud and if there is a leak.

    Thanks I’ll check it out. The only time it’s not loud is when I put it in 1st gear and let out on the clutch while holding the brake
