Default KBD Targa

I purchased and installed the KBD Targa mufflers on my '79 last summer. They are very quiet, but after a couple of weeks I noticed them getting slightly louder. I also notice there was small ***** of what appears to be ceramic that is coming out of the mufflers. Has anyone had these mufflers on long enough for them to completely break in? If so, do they get loud or should I buy something else to get the louder sound I want?

how did you install them? Do you still have your cat conv? From what i've heard from people who own these mufflers is they are very loud.

Perhaps someone who has these will chime in

I still have the Cat. They are only slightly louder than stock. I am very disappointed with them. Eventually, I will install headers and straight pipe it, but for now I need some roar to tide me over
