its all in opinion. Corsa has a good sound but that doesn't help Billbob.
I haven't had flows so I don't know about the breakin period, but I wouldn't think they would change as drastically as you describe since they don't have any packing to be burned away.
I don't think you are crazy, but maybe you are getting accustomed to the sound.

no flows are like women they change alot without you realizing it. but after awhile they will pick how they want to sound, kinda like women and how they want to treat you

I don't get this either. There is NO packing to blow out. It is just baffles. WTF??? I had a Flow diasaster that came apart on the inside and was blocking flow. Changed to a Magnaflow. Better sound and cut down on the drone big time.

A set of Pace Setter long tubes and Off Road Y pipe with a big cam on a 110 LSA will make ANY catback sound good, even Flowmaster. Don't blame your Flowmaster. If the sound you're looking for isn't there at the inlet to your catback the Flowmaster isn't going magically create it for you. That has to be done with your cam and headers.

back to the dudes issue. i personely think that you (he) just got used to the sound. at the begining it was new and loud and now that you have used it for awhile it just doesnt seem the same. hey thats funny i think that i just referenced all my previous girlfriends. lol anyway. i think that it would be real hard for there to be somthing physically wrong after just a week of having it. i have had my flowy set up for a year and no problems. i have yet to jump the band wagon and im glad. i love flowmaster. they have to be doing somthing right they have been around a long time with pretty much the same design. as for the sound changing on a chambered muffler all i can say is metal does crazzy things after it heats and cool rapidly a few dozen times. imo
