I've noticed in my own FR-S, the noise from the engine starts getting louder as the weeks go on. I drove it for 3 weeks below 4K rpms and only yesterday did I complete the break in period.

I noticed a big change in the engine note as the weeks went on. It's a hard wait but its worth it. I also knew someone who bought a 2009 STI brand new and he noticed a major difference in power output once it was fully broken in. This same person is also going to win the Scion Tuner Challenge so I respect their advice.

Now that the break in is over, I've had it up to 7K and man does it scream! Way louder then I expected.what happen if i had redline my frs today almost all day after reding your post i wanna wait and the proper break in can i still do it ive only red line today with 300 miles
