^congrats vid?
I was happy about my new system not droning at all either compared to the cans I had still doesn't sound aggressive enough for me though and I already have almost 2000 miles on it so I imagine break in is pretty much done all well.
I'm prob gonna do a custom side exhaust on my new perf pack maybe that will be aggressive enough

MRT:

Corsa:

I dug my old digicam out for these since my dslr seems to blow out the audio. Unfortunately, it cuts the bass response when the exhaust gets loud. The Corsa really doesnt sound this raspy in person...

do you have a set of corsa's and mrt's, and I thought i dropped change on pipes lol, does the mrt fit perfect without adjusting, I know stock has 3 mounting points and so does corsa, but mrt has 2?

Yea, I try not to think about what I spent. Just got the cc bill and im afraid to open it, lol.
The MRT only has two mounting points but each side only weighs 5 pounds so it doesnt really have to be supported, only held in place. It makes it a pain in the butt to get it perfectley even on each side. I assembled both sides before tightening anything down and that makes things easier.
The corsas rattled on the forward mounting points closest to the clamps, but only after the exhaust heated up. It took some tweaking with a pipe wrench to fix that. Corsa needs to put more length in the hangars to account for tolerance stacking car to car. Also, maddeningly enough, one tip was welded on 1/2" shorter than the other. Pretty bad on a system that costs $700.
One of there days ill put the MRT up on fleabay, but I havent had the time.

You heard my stock in the video heck save your cash, also i think MRT improved their pipes they sent me a email'''see below
Hello Jerry, After removing the stock muffler per the assembly instructions, you will be left with only two rear facing hangers on the stock muffler. It is these two rear facing hangers that are included on the new MRT muffler system....it is an equal exchange. Thanks for your question, please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

^yeah I have a feeling a pypes mid muffler kit will sound SICK on these as I think my mid muffler setup is the best sounding exhaust I've heard yet on the 3.7 motors very aggressive surprisingly deep and the best part? Its drone/resonance FREE oh yeah it was cheap to less than $200 all told and I resold the stock mufflers for $100 so really only $98 of my actual money
