Ever since I installed a Carven Progressive bolt-on muffler, I noticed my 2013 Ram 1500 will let off a loud exhaust 'Rip' when up shifting from 2nd to 3rd on a hard acceleration (8 speed auto). It's hard to describe but almost sounds like a Jake Brake venting the exhaust between gears on a big rig. Is this normal and does it hurt anything? If I accelerate conservatively, it doesn't do it, only on a hard pull. It does sound cool but it seems to rob little power when it happens. Any ideas?
