Default strup exhaust tone change?

anyone notice a change of tone of strup exhaust?
when i install my strup exhaust it sound really nice deep tone
but after a while like a month or so.
it become more deeper like the feeling of having a hard time to release the air?

but i was thinking.
is it true that different kind of gasoline change the tone of exhaust?

Most exhausts, I believe, will get a bit louder as they are broken in. The elements etc get broken in etc, thus the exhaust gets louder. Similar to the way springs settle.

oh my bad. Well different gasolines can affect engine performance etc. Try a different gas, and keep listening to it. Not a big deal or something to worry about. I've heard good things about Strup
