MBRP Exhaust - Update w/Video

[SHANUT]

Any guidance from the group on who has the best deals on MBRP exhaust systems?

Update: I bought the cat back with the dual outlets and installed it, and I love the sound outside and I’m fine with it inside. It doesn’t have any drone but you can definitely hear it in the cabin, especially when you get on it. My wife isn’t crazy about it, so that might be an issue, ha ha. When I do serious off-roading I will remove the tips since they hang down a little bit but everything else tucks up really nice and high and tight. I have a couple of videos that I attached. and the only reason I said it was a pain in the ass to install is because I am an anal perfectionist, and I had to adjust all the fittings a couple of different times to get the dual tips to lineup perfectly.

I would reach out to Panda Motorworks and Lethal Performance to see if they have any specials running. I got the MBRP Overland 3" cat-back from Panda around the holidays.

How do you like it? That’s the one with the little more aggressive sound, isn’t it?

No, the Overland has the extra resonator at the rear so it's a little quieter. With the 2 door, you have to cut around 12" off the pipe behind the muffler since it's made to fit the 4 door with no cutting. Here's a picture of the setup. I like the sound of it, louder than stock but not over the top loud.

How is it on the road? Do you hear it during normal driving or just when giving it a little extra throttle? The dual outlet I got is great outside but a little loud inside when accelerating.

You can hear it a little under normal driving but it's not too bad. It gets aggressive when giving it extra throttle but still not overly loud, that's why I wanted the overland with the resonator and muffler. It's probably still a little loud for the wife though (I don't have that problem). Yours definitely sounds louder on pavement but the video with the snow is pretty muted so it's tough to tell.

Yeah, that's definitely louder even on the snowy ground.

Don’t mean to bother you but if you would have a chance to do a video inside while driving I would love to hear it. Thanks

I don't have a cell phone and my digital camera doesn't do video sound very well so I'm not sure I can help. I'll try the with the camera the next time I get a chance and remember.

How loud is it on cold starts? I wanted the Corsa but I think the cold start might be the nail in the coffin for the Corsa.
