got hooker cat-back on today

Well. I got my Hooker Cat-back on today and it sounds NICE!! its part number 520-16822(1983-85 G,F&7). its nice and quiet at idle and crusing speeds. but when i push it it sounds nice and rumbly and thouty and loud.
but i just put it in, alot of people say it gets better in about 1 month. oh. i really love those tips. I really recommend it.

I've had mine for about 2 months, and I've just noticed that a lot of the popping when you let off the gas goes away after about a month, but it doesn't really get louder, or change tone
