HKS Owners..will it quiet down?

Just came back from having my HKS Hi Power Exhaust installed. It seems allot louder then expected. I know the smell will go away but will the exhaust quiet down at all?

mm i think mine has gotten a tad quieter since i got it. i have about 150 miles on it. it might just be because i had my back seat down for a while and i put it back up recently.

Had mine for a bit. It is louder than what people expect. Can drone sometimes on the highway going 80. Keep it under 3k and you should be fine.

It will get quieter after a few days

Either that, or I lost my hearing.

You sure you're not just slowly going deaf?

Negative.

The exhaust should get louder.
After all the initial burn-off and break-in, it will get louder.

It may seem like it got quieter but it's only because you've gotten used to it.

As time passes and all the filament in the mufflers age and fly out, it'll get louder and louder and louder.

More drone drone drone.

But fuGG it! Meatball all the way!

YEAYUH!!!
