Is the amount of time a muffler takes to get its full-tone going to be effected by having a forced induction motor? I'd imagine that the exhaust would be hotter and would allow this to happen more quickly, but this will be my first turbo exhaust job, and I really don't like the sound before the muffler is broken in.
3" turbo-back, single 3" Magnaflow, 24" long, if any of that matters.

 

muffler break in???? your kidding right?

 

What mods do you have, because 3" is to big for stock or even a ko4. You might not like the sound because of that. And I have never heard of a break in period.

 

did you check the muffler bearings? they might need some oil

 

Muffler break-in? WTF?

 

its probably an idiot who told him an exhaust job has a "break-in period"

 

No.
The packing in the muffler heats and cools before everything is the way it is. A brand new muffler on a car sounds like ****. A week old muffler sounds good.
That is how it works.I was just curious if this will happen any more quickly with a turbo, but apparently no one here notices the difference in sound.

I'm setting up 3" for reasons that I'd be willing to discuss at another place or time, but I'd like to get this thread answered first, if possible.

 

It looks like you already answered your ?. I think this is the first I have ever heard this though. Are you sure you don't need the heavy duty Muffler Bearings Standard ones will burn up quiker with a Turbo application
