So far I'm happy with the exhaust sound, but I shall not say 'never'!
I'm in the same boat here. I've not been completely conservative in my break-in period, but I've been driving it gently overall.

And I'm waiting a while to mod it. May wait out the life of the warranty. Don't know yet.

For now, the beast sounds great. Eventually, I may get CAI/CBE to spice things up.

For those of you who cheated during the break-in period, I'm sure the little black box has recorded that and when you go in for warranty work be prepared for some very interesting conversations.

I was gonna ask how you got a rear fog light installed so quickly, but then I realized you're in Canada.

the most i went during the break in period was 4500 and not very often. once i got to 1150 i went to 5k 3 times. The other night i passed my 1200 miles and holy ****. I slowed down to about 35 on the lie in the right lane made sure no one was near by and down shifted into second and floored it to 85. AHH! that was so fun! Then this altima was trying to race me i was like ... uh no thanks!

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was getting the fog light or not. All the documentation would say is 'if so equipped'. I knew it was 'so equipped' in Europe but I never found anything definitive for Canada. (Though I probably could've found it somewhere in the forum if I was inclined to burn a calorie!). So it was a pleasant surprise when I picked it up!

I know a lot of people are putting on after market exhaust as one of their first mods, but I gotta say I like the stock sound just fine when I wind it all the way up!
