Yup, you read it 120% right. It's fun and nice to watch all LEDs light on startup and flashing when driving. Also, when spirit driving with the H/K system loud, it helps you know when to shift without looking down at the REV guage.

Buttom line, it's all about "fun"

Rusty - ah, got it - you mean the Video Clip. I will edit that. I thought you meant the picture.

Can you do me a favor, can you please edit your posting and remove the quote of the entire first article? It is at the bottom of Page 17 of this thread.

Thx,

godspd, A skunk 2 exhaust is identical to the Invidia cat-back except that it has chrome tips, thats really the only difference.

none of the videos are working anymore

i was just wondering, will the "one-ball" F with smog tests?
also, will the other exhausts?
Ireland Engineering looks good for the price; I just wish they had an R56 sound clip

I'll see what's up with the videos. I may have to get all new ones as these are all pretty old links. I've not tackled the vids and sound bites yet.

I've heard good things about the IE exhaust. Sound on 56 should be similar to the 53, though the exhaust may be exiting a bit quicker due to the turbo.

No one has replied to me yet . I feel confused and sad. I mailed SuperSprint TWICE asking for numbers with my mods listed and no single email from them. What a bad customer service for a hopefully good product.

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you considered using the phone to call and discuss your mod's with your vendor of choice? The forums are a good resource but the best answer is your car on a dyno, tuned to be optimized with your mods. The next best answer is a phone call to someone who can field your questions based on your goals for your car. Lastly there is e-mail, which implies a waiting game. I realize the phone may not be convenient given the time zone difference but it's probably your best source of info. Good luck.

Current MCS Exhausts on Youtube

Here are all the MCS exhaust clips I found on Youtube. All the clips are from outside of a revving car (unless noted).

Bon appetit!

I left you off because your combination is so customized I didn't think it would be applicable to other people searching for exhaust sounds, but I added it now.

He's got a slightly modified RMW Exhaust...

FYI, running NO exhaust (Headers only) will mess up valves.

msfitoy's Youtube description says: "RMW head/header, flowmaster resonator, modified Borla Race, custom dual 3" exhaust." I was trying to put the established exhaust options into one thread, not completely catalog all the exhausts on Youtube, but since it's msfitoy I can make an exception!

(I was intrigued when I saw the no-exhaust recordings, and figured people would like to hear them, too, so I threw them in there.)
