Exhaust Noise

Just taken delivery of my new Evo 8 FQ300 after my last 1 was stolen just before xmas. The trouble is the exhaust sound doesn't sound as good as my last 1 which was a year old. Is this due to the new Evo needs running in or what. :?:

They do tend to deepen up once they have got coked up a bit and tend to sound a little bit tinny when new.

Is it the same car as you had before?

When I bought the new exhaust for my 6 the tone seamed to go higher, but after a while it slowly started to get deeper.

Give it time
