At 60 to 65 mph I get a whhhaaaaaooooooooowwwwww increasing in volume then decreasing. It sounds kinda cool, well except when your running at a constant speed within those numbers. Just wondering if this is normal. Its an 07. Thanks!

Is it stock, or are you running TOR, or Arrow? With either of these it will have a nice yaowel at 60 or so.

Make sure your chain has plenty of slack.

Maybe I assumed too much. Thought it was a new noise as exhaust was not mentioned in the original post.
