MY MBRP (SS) EXPERIENCE
FINALLY !!! Took 5 weeks for the exhaust to be made, it arrived intact from MBRP, I am quite pleased, the box was not even bruised haha
Very very well packaged, compare to my previous system on other cars , I must say that Canadian do it the right way
It had foam and bubble wrap, should have taken pics of that ! The piping is amazing, easy instructions, clamps are great !
Our OEM system is heavy , specially the mufflers !
Since it is a bolts on system, I borrowed a friend’s hoist and took my time, give it take two hours, to find the right tools, trim a bit of plastic for the tips and triple checking my bolts.
I am not super mechanically inclined person so it is definitely doable, two person job if you want someone to help guide the pipes.
If you decide to do the exhaust yourself, it is going to be tricky on ramps but possible, hoist was definitely nice to have, plus you get more room to maneuver and get to see the underneath of the car.
Tips: use some grease or silicone on the hangers otherwise you will fight with them to be taken off…the oem are on sooooooo tightly in there.
I will make some videos soon, however for whoever is wondering, this exhaust system is SUPER MINT ! it is definitely not obnoxious , doesn’t sound like a fart exhaust … it i subtle at low rpm and idle, nice little grown to it ! in ECO, love how you can hear all the gear shifting, it is a very nice sound at 6am around the neighbourhood, you can creep your way in/out without disturbing everyone. Still, you will have nice loud-ish rumble.
Comfort is a tad louder than ECO and if you want to really hear the growls and deep tone, push it in SPORTS … amazing sound all around !
I have done two (very small though) highway trips and I can report that with my tips set up (see thread here for the Akraprovic tips) , I do not have any type of drone in the cabin, nothing that gives me a headache. The hummm of the exhaust note is tamed, I have turned off the Active Engine Sound too.
Cold start is a little bit louder but that expected and it tams down after 45s once the engine calms and then you get a nice exhaust tone !
Overly I am VERY happy with this exhaust, it is giving me a beafier sound than the OEM set up, the “Helmholtz chamber” are definitely doing their job, I love the set up and most definitely recommend it !
Edit: that is the box
