The exhaust is really deep. Cant wait to see the clip of the Borla XR1's with flowtubes.

Wait, did I read that correctly? that Mach has H&R springs on it? Why does mine sit like 2 inches lower?
lol i think you got the situation backwards IMO.

OP: as for the difference...are you talking about the blackout honeycomb peice? i know for a fact thats not stock. im thinking thats a bit too obvious though and its not that different. lol

Nice find. I love my MRT catted H, but I find it does have a lot of cabin resonance. Have you noticed that at all?

I know! I'm getting them tonight after work. Then my plan is to get a decent video of the catted H with MRT catback, XR1's, and Magnapacks. I have yet to find one video of the XR1's with a catted H anywhere.

Nope, it's not the black out panel lol. Have to watch the video...at the :40 sec mark It's real subtle.

Well I was going from a catted X and Magnapacks so to me the MRT setup has no to very little drone. The 2K drone at around 70mph is very tolerable and can have a conversation. It prob has more to do with your mufflers.

They are MRT's "street springs" or somethig....but in the end they are all H&R springs. I haven't seen the model number of the springs yet. I will look when I'm doing exhaust work. I may take out the rear ISO's to even off the stance.

Nope, but you are getting closer with the tail lights LOL. Let me know if you give up.

Well I was informed that the MRT spring package contains the regular H&R springs for a coupe in the front and ones for a convertible for the rear to get better ride quality...and they are blue springs all around. The ride is great, I don't notice the height of the car with body roll. Maybe lower springs will be in my future. I like not having to drive up on wood to get a jack under it though LOL.

Who uses wood? I use bricks haha jk. That is a valid point. It is a pain in the *** to drive up something just to jack up the car
