Catless will always run into issues. Almost everyone put back the factory primary cats, or is using an HFC setup of some sort.
So i installed my mbrp exhaust the other day and it all went well, but im now running into minor issues. So i had my tail pipes aligned so that they sat inside the stock tip openings, however after readjusting the clamps and exhaust 2 more times after installation, even buying extra horseshoe shaped clamps. My exhaust keeps shifting and the tailpipes keep ending up sitting on the stock tip openings. Would This have any negative effects other then extra drone? Also if anyone had any advice on what else i could try, it would be greatly appreciated.
That's how I've been running mine for the last 8 months or so and I have no complaints
that or fold the seats down. you get so much more sound in the cabin. I enjoy itToday I have discovered the built in sport+ mode of the mbrp when removing the trunk shelf..even better with windows down

This exhaust is a lot more quiet than I thought it would be. Could almost be a stock exhaust sport mode on a performance car. No drone at all with my tips though, which is nice. I think it fits the Grand Touring profile I was looking for, but man it is definitely not a loud exhaust, even under full throttle.
Secondary cat replacement sounds like crap?
Also, I had to replace the rear exhaust clamps. The one that came with the exhaust didn't compress the pipe enough to make a tight seal between muffler and mid pipe. I ran to the auto parts store and got a dinky 2.5 inch clamp that worked much better.
Looks great Jay!Busy day after the install - here are some pictures to review. Sometime this week ill post a formal thread on these.
A+ so far

Do you have a link for those tips? Matte black, correct? Having a difficult time finding anything but chrome or carbon fiber. Was going to order chrome and have them powdercoated if I couldn't find them in black.Hey recently joined the club (cheers @Gtecko ) with the mbrp amd went with the oval tips from aliexpress 63MM-105MM Matt
They look great and don't sound too raspy thankfully..stock downpipe etc. So I'm happy there.
I'm still getting used to 'auto' transmission low rpm (1-2.5k) exhaust noise kinda reminds me of stupid exhausts on crappy cars. I do really enjoy the mbrp went getting on it and it has a great character and glad it's not over the top. I think the downpipe is the issue as others have said it def more aggressive in other cars I've done. This is the first performance car without a manual so I think I just have to get over it lol
One think of the tips is internal vs external diameter as the shop doing the install had to fab something up and weld them on as the diameter were the same as the exhaust..I'll take a pic in the morning. Helps i think with drone not rasp and I like the black look, makes the rear diffuser look sexy!
Anyone wanting the MBRP exhaust in Canada, PM me, I know I can get you a great deal !

Need some insight. My MBRP SS exhaust are about to arrive and I'm probably going to install it next week. But a friend of mine who's more into cars told me that any exhaust modification that I do would need a custom tune with it; he also said, without a tune the motor is going to blow. I tried to research on this but can't find any claims on this at all and that catback exhaust shouldn't affect the ECU or the aspiration of the car. Anyone more knowledgable can give me more insight on this?
Thanks
