glasspack wear away??

i had only headers. no cat or muffler. and it was WAY too loud, so i went out and bought a cheap $18 cherry bomb and put it where the cat was. but now it's too quiet for me, now i heard glasspacks wear away and basically become a straight pipe again. but my question is, is that true and how long does it take.

You might give it a week to break in. My flowmaster 80 series took a little bit to really sound good. Not sure how long the cherry bombs last but for the price I would guess not too long.
