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

nothing other than the smell disappearing after a time

is it loud all the time or just when you're high rpms?

that's normal for the thermal stealth....mine is the same way....loud above 3,000 rpms.....

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

yeah, but after being under the car for a couple of hrs any car smell would drive me nuts right now, those crazy cat bolts gave me a wonderfull joyous time!

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
