There is zero truth to it. 06 MAY be more prone to throwing a CEL but that's it.

btw, i suggest for you to head over to the intake/exhaust subforum in the engine section.

plenty of discussion about the exhaust and testpipe..do a search there. if you need any help..feel free to PM me. i'd be more than happy to help out!

best of luck!

that's because of the stock ypipe. If replaced with an aftermarket y, the sound goes away.
