When I picked up my Box in Pittsburgh in December and started driving home, I noticed the stereo got louder going up hills and quieter going down. I assumed I was gaining/losing reception with the element antenna. I finally figured out that I have auto volume control and it was getting louder because of how noisy the aftermarket pipe was under load going up hills...d'oh!
