Default To all those with aftermarket exhausts
I'm going to put an aftermarket exhaust on the car come springtime. I have a vauge memory of reading somewhere that you are supposed to break it in (i e drive the car very gently) for a while when the exhaust is new. Is this correct

If so what are the recommendations? What will happen if you dont?

Any input appreciated.

Cheers!

I recently got the HKS silent hi-per, the sound did quieten down especially the drowning around 3k rpm which after about 800miles is almost gone.

Never needed to drive any differently when a new exhaust is on. You might find you DO drive differently to hear the noise more, but that's a different matter
