Europipe owners

Have any of you experienced an increase in the interior resonance levels as your muffler ages?

I am told that all exhausts get louder with age. I believe my
Europipe is louder now than when new. I don't note any
resonating though.

Yes,

My Europipe Quiet is really not quiet anymore, especially in the interior.

Mine is maturing BEAUTIFULLY!!!! I love listening to it SING!!!!
It is akin to having finely tuned trumpets. Alright I know I am being ridiculous but the sound really is intoxicating. I find myself purposely holding out the revs in the gears just to listen to it!! I just love it!!! I guess you could say pride in ownership, huh!?

I enjoy the sound of a nice exhaust as well, but interior resonance or booming just wrecks it for me.

I agree EP II Quiet seems a little louder. I suspected this would occur and that is why I didn't go with Loud. Now this may be my imagination but either way, it SEEMS louder but I am very pleased.

Mine has gotten a little deeper lows over time. But at wide open it is the same thunder growl. And the cold starts are intoxicating. I am proud to own the Stage II loud.

It the best overall exhaust out there IMHO.

It really depends on how you define resonance.

My EP 2 Loud battles my tire noise (14,000 miles on the tires, and they're pretty loud) between 2000-2500 rpm. I suppose that's "resonance", but with new tires, I expect this to go away...back to no resonance.
