My MBRP Catback arrived Monday and I got it in Tuesday.
I am very happy with it. $319.00 delivered to my door. Well packaged and everything included. Great customer service from Ed at MBRP.
But best of all is the performance / sound.
It has a nice little growl to it without being annoying. It won't bother the neighbors.
Around 1900 RPM there is a little harmonic resonance but it is actually pleasing.
I don't notice much in the way of a power increase from a standing stop. But in a passing situation when you mash it down you definately notice a difference.
I'm really happy with it. If you are looking at a catback system I don't think you can go wrong with this.
And thanks to all of you here who recommended this system.

I dunno, I think the Duratec makes its power a little lower in the rev band as I find I can get a nice howl going just north of 3K if I mash it (Mind you it's an autotragic so :unsure: )
With the MBRP & the exhaust I can induce wheelspin (and the traction control) from a standing start easily (almost too easily) whereas stock it took a lot more to get the slipping & the killjoy action...
Of course I'm gonna have new tires as of tonight so I'll see if new rubber makes any difference (Nokian WR All Weather Plus 2)

I'm tragically automatic as well. But I've owned a Mustang, a Cuda, and a Vette all of which were sticks. I've retired my left foot.

There is nothing like the smell of burnt clutch in the morning, it smells like victory. OK, it really smells like crap, but that is such a great quote.
