Why has there been a sudden surge in "How to break in?" threads? It's irritating. Never heard of braking in an exhaust. I don't think you'll have anything to worry about!

Yes. Turn the car on. Drive the car. Feel the difference in engine response. Listen to improved exhaust sound.
Repeat as needed... break in exhaust.... |

I've heard you have to hit the rev limiter in 6th (8th in AT) for at least 30 seconds to break in the exhaust. Otherwise the tone won't be even throughout the range.

If redlining final drive in the 8AT is possible... *cough* overdrive *cough* 7th is an overdrive gear as well actually... A few bolt-ons/remap should resolve this. A new exhaust, for instance!!

LOL, the "break in" the OP is referring to is the exhaust smell break in...ie, the cotton/packing used in the muffler burning, which is normal as you drive and break it in...there's no procedure OP, drive it like you stole it. Literally. And tape it, so we can enjoy the tone..

Actually, mufflers have packing inside. There is chemicals and residue from manufacturing, beat the shit out of it and get it hot. It will smell for a bit and smoke, but will go away.
