Do new exhausts get louder?

[finegunit]

How do.
I recently fitted a stainless centre section to my mk2 vtr.
When i first had it it was quiet ish. But after a week it seems a bit louder. Is this normal? Ive checked all the joints and as far as i can tell their all sound.
Anyone had this?
Thanks.:y:

All normall mate, exhaust need to wear in.

once the baffles and pipes fill with carbon they do get louder

when they "charcoal" they will sound better, or so the plce said that fitted my brothers :S

[finegunit]

It does sound better. Feels a little smoother when acclerating also. (maybe me just thinking that though:P)

ah right cause when i got my milltek system it was quieter than the standard exhaust i replaced lol

[Sparco_Tom]

alot of milteks are like that though very efficent exhausts though

[finegunit]

Cool thanks peoples.
I got my new exhaust mounts today from kam. As its a little heavier it moves a bit more and catches the heat shield sometimes. :wall:
So im hopein these will sort the problemo.:y:
