Default new exhaust

I just got the frpp dual exhaust for my 07 V6 with the GTB mufflers and Ive heard they need to be broken in. How many miles does that take and what happens once they are broken in? Will it be louder, softer, etc.

they'll get louder, I'd guess in about 3000 miles give or take a hundred or so, but I'm no expert

It wont get noticeably louder (imo) but the tone will change a bit and sound more deep. How do you like them so far? Did you install them yourself?

I got them installed at an exhaust shop. And I like them, but I kinda wish they were a lil louder :/

What can I do to make it louder?

Please post a sound clip if possible, I love the sound of the Bullitt and have been wondering how well that sound comes over to the 6

They will get louder when they are broken in. It took mine (GTA's) 2-3k miles, I know my GTA's are plenty loud, I wouldn't think the GTB's would be that much quieter.

Dig the fiberglass out of the mufflers or get a
muffler delete kit for both sides...
Or get electric cut-outs like I dids....
