MRT exhaust installed

Installed the MRT axle back (basically mufflers) system today. It sounds great outside the car and I really like the sound. I do get a bit of drone but nothing obnoxious that I can't live with. Tips are all lined up and install was simple with a sawzall. I only have these crappy pics because it was already dark out and lightning was lacking but you get the idea.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I really like the MRT's and the OEM Gen 4.2 mufflers cost almost as much!

Not sure if I'm OK with drone though....

Agreed. I'm pretty sensitive to it so maybe I need to turn up the radio and chill. At least I can finally hear my car now!

I would take the Drone over the Raspy Rasp any day IMO!  Z
If I had a second chance would of went with the MRT Exhaust and PPE DP which would of ended costing the same as the Corsa!  Z

How are you liking the exhaust so far ? It's been a while so I'm curious and did you get used to any drone?

It doesn't bother me a bit! Granted I don't take it on super long drives across the country but I love how it gets the car noticed a little more without being obnoxious. Startups are as good as they get for a V6 and the exhaust has held up well to Minnesota winter's.

Awesome , the only thing is I wish more videos with sound are available. The one MRT video it sounds great. You don't have any sound videos do you?

Well I don't. I could make a quick one from inside the car but it would be with my phone and less then quality if you know what I mean...your call.

Here are some vids...

If I'm honest these videos seem to minimize the drone...it's probably a little worse then the video makes it out to be although I haven't listened with headphones. I hit the turn signal so you would have a reference noise for comparison...
