Exhause loudness

Do aftermarket exhausts get louder after you have them installed for a while? I noticed mine has gotten louder since I first got it.

It's hard to tell because the whole car has gotten louder. But all mufflers get a little louder when broken in. It's still too quiet for my tastes.

Yeah mine got quite a bit louder. When it was first installed I thought it was a bit too quiet. Now I think it's a bit too loud haha. But I can't really tell 'cause I'm inside the car.

Brabus c, did you buy your car at Penske? I can swear I saw a car that looks JUST like yours there a few weeks ago. Same rear and front bumper.

mine was a lot louder after a while.
When it was first installed, it was as silence as the stock.
