Exhaust note is louder after 3K

Anyone else notice their exhaust getting a bit louder after breaking in?
When I first bought the car, I said to myself that this car is too quiet. After 3K I noticed the exhaust note sounds throatier, which is always a good thing imo.

Maybe you're just kickin' in the afterburners more often! :D

:dunno: I have random smiley meltdown..... banana quits dancing, rollie doesn't roll..... Then they'll all start working again.

The sound of my v6 changed a little after a couple thousand miles. It doesn't sound as muted now as it did when it was new.

Exactly, nothing too surprising though as exhausts do break in with mileage.
I'm enjoying the sound, I'm used to modified cars, this is my first car that I'm leaving alone.

i noticed on my jetta that when the exhaust was cold, it was quieter then when it was hot. it was a huge difference also not just kinda it was a lot louder

Yup, my performance exhaust on my bmw got louder as it warmed up as well.

Even exhausts need a few thousand miles to break in on a new car. When they're fully broken in, they are a little louder than when they're brand new.

yea when i drive to canada 420 miles my exhaust seems louder and the car seems more responsive.
