Break-in Exhaust?
Just installed a downpipe + catback this weekend. It is a bit louder than I expected. Will it get more quiet after a couple hundred miles?

Thanks

No. No such thing as breaking in pipes.

I've only heard of the tone getting deeper within a month or so, but never heard of the exhaust getting quieter.

It will get slightly quiet due to the carbon deposit build up inside but I wouldn't expect any dramatic change.

After a season or so, you'll probably swear it's louder!!

exhausts only change their sound when they break off, not in.

It'll get louder as the packing in the muffler breaks down.

If any thing, it will get louder as the fiber glass packing in most straight through can style mufflers gets compacted.

^^ types faster. The important thing is not to rev it over 6K RPM for the first 500 Mi on a new exhaust

You all are Wrong, it will get quieter, since this guy will loose his hearing due the loud noise....
