I heard the internal packing breaks down after 4-5K miles which improves the sound. Can any stage-2 owners out there verify that?

Lustrazor, yep, white with red stripes, Lotus Supercharger and I believe Stage 2 exhaust, as it had a twin exhaust tips. Yes there was some cabin resonance, but nothing too intrusive, especially when driving the car easy, but open it up and the car screams. Exhaust is on backorder. After reading this thread, perhaps a Stage 3 would be more appropriate with a supercharger, as some have removed their Stage 2 exhaust systems, but the Stage 2 that I drove was sweet. This is not my daily driver, so I believe I can live with it. Pluses: Dealer installed, no warranty issues, lighter weight, great sound. Minuses: No horsepower gain, noise can be intrusive, expensive. I like the looks of the twin exhaust tips, but if the single exhaust tip system (stage 3) is better matched with the Supercharger I'm all ears.
