exhaust break in period
hey is there a "break in period" on exhausts? I just installed my thermal stealth and it sounds great but it seems kinda too loud.. it might just be me getting used to it though.
thx |

thats how all exhausts are, other than ws and stock...oh and mugen twin loop
The smell should go away within 2-3 days depending on how much you drive it. Its not that bad...I kinda miss it |

I kind of like that smell...... If that is a decent exhaust system, the sound at high RPM should get deeper as the materials in the muffled area get warm to form a more solid exhaust gas path
