Default Another MRT believer

Just got my MRT AeroTurbine delivered to work today, and got out an hour early so I could head back home to the local muffler shop and have 'em put it on before closing ($35 for the install too, woo).

The guys at the muffler shop all kinda congregated to see this odd looking "fart can" go on the car, and asked me all sorts of questions about it. Only one of them had heard of AeroTurbine before. Suffice it to say, it impressed them all.

When I went over to visit my parents, my mom asked me if I had put a glass pack on it, LOL...

I am quite impressed, not sure if it's the sound, but the car feels like it just got an inhaler after having a nasty bout of asthma. Definitely exhales easier. Now to see what all those naysayers up to work say... :-D

very cool! I know what you mean... I felt the difference and couldn't believe it... so I called Lidio over at Alternative Auto to dyno it.. sure enough the MRT showed a nice gain over my Magnaflow! Especially over like 5500 RPM! I couldn't believe it... I remember standing there looking at the graph with the Magaflow and MRT data up... I was shaking my head... Lidio was really surpised by the gain and then Lidio says "If your butt dyno says it's there... and my dyno says it's there... then it's there" LOL!

Let some more air in and install a K&N filter OR a filtercharger. More air in, more air out; well you get the idea.

Thanks scrming, actually The Mistress is an inspiration, your video is what won me over originally. :-)

I actually told the guy who installed my muffler that another Mustang enthusiast from the other side of the state replaced his Magnaflow with the AeroTurbine, so that's how confident I was in the product. MRT was quite on the ball, my order was processed last Friday and I received the package today...

well... beside performing better than my Magnaflow, the MRT also sounds better.. It does take a while for it to "season"... It keeps getting better sound over the period of a few weeks... oh... and it was less expensive than the Magnaflow...

To each his own... although listening to it in a video is no substitute for standing there next to it. Sounds like no ricer I've heard however...

Mine has yet to fully mature though, so I'm sure the experience can only improve, and it's already good to my ears. :-)
