Engine Getting Louder

I've noticed after a couple of thousand miles, the VQ35 seems to be getting louder. It doesn't bother me, in fact it really sounds pretty good, but I was wondering if this was normal.

For the first 1000 miles or so, you could hardly hear the engine. I guess its because its broke in now??

Anybody else notice this?

The tranny is very soft in the shifts when new, as the tranny breaks in it will shift firmer.

My 2k2 is getting louder. I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this. But I guess its a part of the break-in.

I've also noticed that my car seemed to get louder as it broke in. It now has over 11k on it, and hasn't gotten any louder lately hehe.

Dude who are you, and why are all your posts a bunch of worthless trash? Do you even own a Maxima? And if not, why are you on this forum? I'm confused because all your posts I see are just trash talking and wastes of bandwith.
