Its true what others have said. As you break them in the sound will change some get louder and some don't. Also when you add a CAI they will be a bit louder as well. I think this is because of the increased flow.

That exhaust gets louder a week or so after you get it installed?
True or myth?
I wonder how much if true?

We actually use a lava rock wool packing material not fiber glass. It is more heat resistant then fiber glass and will not blow out (as long as your car is properly tuned). As you put about 500-800 miles on the system the packing will break in and set. The mufflers may get a little louder once they have broken in. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns on our system. Thanks for buying Magnaflow.

If the mufflers are straight through glasspackeddesign, some of the glasscan blow out leading to a louder muffler. If the muffler is a metal "chambered" muffler design...no it will not get louder.

Yours will change in tone and can either get deeper or louder or both IMO with these strait- thru designed mufflers.... the fiberglass in time will break down...
