Do new exhausts get louder?
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.

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

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. 
So im hopein these will sort the problemo.
