Default It it normal?

I had my local shop install the Flowmaster 400 series and an X pipe. It sounded GOOD! I have drivenover 3000 miles since. I am on a cross country trip I noticed the exhaust sound has actually gotten more throaty. It is NOT leaking anywhere, Is this normal? Do Flowmasters get better with age? LOL Don't get me wrong. It almost sounds like a stock GT. DAMN close. Oh, it's a 3.8L![sm=icon_rock.gif]

Headers duals 40 flows and diual exhaust 2.5 inch tips....sounds like GT with an exhaust. People always ask me you sell the v6, of course being sarcastic *still not as fast as a GT* but sounds good. Mufflers hopefully get louder but I was told that flows would not break in. Be nice if they do, cause it can only get louder
