Calling all Dynomax Muffler owners!!!

Well as some of you know already I installed a Dynomax Super Turbo cat-back system on my '03 4.0 SOHC. I was surprised at how quiet it is. Almost down to the stock level. Will it get louder as it gets broken in/ or ages or is it going to be this quiet forever?

I noticed that the muffler has a fiberglass sound deadening material lining the inside of the muffler. Does this burn-out at all?

That's why I got this Dynomax system, cause I couldn't stand the side exit mufflerless exhaust!
I have the tailpipe I used to bolt up to the stock system in the garage still.

mine got louder, but thats probably because i put a bigger pipe on the whole way back.
i find it gets a little louder depending on the weather too...or maybe thats just in my head
