what is the best exhaust for the MCS (one that doesnt sound so raspy)

 

I have the Milltek and I love it. Two thumbsup!!

I do play the radio so I don't know if it is considered loud but like I said I love it.

what kind of hp gains and where/ how much did you pay for it

 

wow... probably one of the most generic questions a guy can ask!

what are you looking for? nice sound? nice gains? weight savings? what

to start no mini catback will EVER make your S sound ricey... all mini aftermarket exhaust i've heard makes a very nice tone

budget wise... megan exhaust (420 us) and scorpion (550) are the most inexpensive, but no one made any claims on hp gain, i got a scorpion, and i swear it sounds SOOO nice almost like a classic mini racer with the popping and farting... i didnt care for hp gains really

sound wise.... magnaflow and borla race are very loud...

gains wise, supposedly miltek makes very good numbers, magnaflow and borla race are suppose to make more

if you want quiet, borla street is quiet

if you want serious weight saving, alta and quicksilver makes a high pitch whine all times, but saves you over 20 lbs!

in the end.. listen to the sound clips littered around nam, then ask question one you narrow down your choices,

 

Magnaflow all the way Magnaflow + Miltek header even better

 

Thats simple........the stock exhaust on my 05 MCS

 

 

I am sure Randy spent a lot of time on these reviews so read them! http://www.webbmotorsports.com/forum...231910af555315

 

If you want loud, Magnaflow or Borla Race... if you want quiet, Miltek. Those are basically the 3 to chose from as far as performance gains go.... oh and never listen to anyone who says a header doesnt provide any performance gains

 

Did you do a search? Tons of info on this topic already. I have the Borla Race (Louder than Street version) and I love it. Check the sticky, it has most of the exhausts and sound clips!

 

one more alternative...



inside

take off

 

Well if you are looking for something loud then go with one sided NRP exhaust. Thats what I have. Wasn't that loud until I straight piped the first resonator. Sure does sound nice though. Probably too loud for most.

 

B&B Tri Flow on my car and i love it . Real nice tone under load. And a nice tone while cruising at 3k goin down the highway.

 

Borla Race sounds AWSOME and induces heart palpitations above 5500.

 

what one is this?

 

you are probably going to get as many different responses as there are systems.One man's meat is another's poison.I have the Remus and although slightly louder than stock, it is very nice. As has been said ,go to Randy's sticky or the one on this site in the "beneath the bonnet" sticky and check out the sound clips.Also check into "events" like pulley parties or midnight runs or local clubs and go see them first hand.I DO realize this is a hard thing to research having gone through it myself recently.Opinions are SO subjective. good luck!

 

I got it from http://www.webbmotorsports.com/ (a sponsor here on NAM)

I think it was $700.00 plus installation (which I had done at a pulley party at Steve's Auto Clinic in North Hills, CA)

About 8/9 hp is what is advertised.

I second this:smile:
I really want this, but have to hold on for a while... let me hear coilovers

 

UUC is the best sounding and has one of the highest power gains as well. I get compliments on the sound all of time. It is however, one of the most expensive - but that makes it all the more exclusive. :smile:

 

Good choice! Titanium tips baby!

 

Scorpion user here. Luv da sound, and the look; plus at $515 delivered to my door it was a great deal.

Here's where I bought mine.

Hi MYPocketRocket,

What is the name of your system?

 

Mine is Invidia....same as Skunk2. The only different of the two is the tips. Invidia comes with Titanium tips.

Let's listen to the deep voice one more time. It sounds like Hey! I'm small, but I got big power inside.

Sound at 2K RPM

 

I think for a little less than 600 bucks (it's been a while), and some surgery, you can go straight. With the SS center pipe, the finished project looks more nice...
