Exhaust Break In Period

04-24-2001, 07:35 AM

I notice the the last three exhaust systems i put on my car started out sounding like stock, but the sound improved over time. So I would like to know if any 1 else had this problem.

Thanks

I know that flowmaster mufflers break themselves in. At first, they sound a bit harsh and muffled, then sound nice and hollow with a slight rasp. I would think the rest of the exhaust system, if it's just tubing, would sound the same.
