Hold a magnet to it. SS is not magnetic.

You were right. They are not SS.

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 , 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 !

I'm guessing those carbon fiber tips are an add on? Sorry, new to this game.

they are, I made a hyperlink to those. You technically dont need them I have them on as I did find the drone was almost gone with them on.

I appreciate your reply. I'm guessing the link you said your provided must have been on your original post, I must have missed it on there. I saw the pictures you attached but not the link.

This thread will answer your questions. MBRP has a 63mm inlet size and then its a matter of preference on selecting a round tip (89mm) or an oval tip (105mm).

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably go the sound dampening route. My family would appreciate that. ;) As for under the backseats I’m assuming you simply pulled from the top to lay them flat to get access. Any pics of what you did is always appreciated.
