Pick up a set of GT500 mufflers used if you can find them. If you end up wanting more sound you can most likely recoup your costs on a resale and pick up something else. I looked around for a couple months and found a set for $180. I was also thoroughly disappointed with the stock exhaust. GT500 is perfect for my tastes. They are quite a bit louder but are a fantastic tone.
Back to the original question, I would agree a slight change may happen over time and more noticae would be changes due to heat (cold start vs hot fully warmed up). But the changes will likely never make you satisfied with the stock setup

Do the stock mufflers "break in?" I've read that certain muffler designs (especially glass packed) can noticeably change. I'm wondering if I should expect a change in tone and/or volume over the first few thousand miles. I like the sound now, but a bit louder would be even better.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the boss side exhaust but things might change before I decide this fall (wife asked what I want for my birthday).

Just installed the boss side exhaust on my 2014 GT (currently stock ABs). Also took the baffles out.
Jesus Christ does it sound good.
Does adding the GT500 ABs take away from the sound of the boss side exhaust for those with both?
