when i bought my 00HD i was a little disappointed with the sound of the exhaust. i expected a little more rumble, but it broke in over a little time, and it sounds great now

my flowmaster has done the same thing. I've had it about 18 months now, and seems to be a notch louder than original. I've also noticed that in cold temps, its louder than in warm weather.
