New to the forum and so happy to find so many enthusiasts who love their cars and are passionate about mods!
I own a 17 Ecoboost and I love it. I remember first several weeks after I bought it, I kept sitting inside the car after turn the engine off just want to smell the leather.
Airaid CAI is my first mod. Then came MBRP Race cat-back with MBRP catted dp (don't want to talk more about the MBRP quality, they do their work, but the welding is definitely not art). The first time I went to pick up my car after the exhaust installation, I could not even sit in the cabin for more than 5 min due to the heavy drone, not to mention acceleration.
The joy of driving is gone, sadly.
Put a lot of time and energy trying to cancel the annoying sound inside the car, first changed dp back to stock, then install a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator in the mid pipe, but still hard to dampen the drone. In desperation, just go back to market and try to find a quiet exhaust, I mean, deep sound withOUT drone.
The lesson I learned is that, it differs a lot between youtube videos and real world sound, and between outside and inside the car. Plus, drone is subjective and highly depend on personal preference. Plus, my pony needs a resonator, or I would say, I myself need a resonator...
I'm looking into MAP resonated VS Full-Race street (YEAH resonated for sure this time). I will have a turbo back, a catted dp + catback, to make a full 3'' system. What I hope is, the whole exhaust will not sound too crazy even with a 3'' catted dp. Definitely louder and deeper, but not too crazy, most of the important, minimum drone or no drone at all. (The only brand which guarantee zero drone is Corsa, but I don't like their tone.)
So I'd like to ask the owners of MAP/Full-Race, if you guys could please post some feedback here. Let me make things more clear:
1) How do you like the sound?
2) Does your system give any drone before/after 3'' dp?
3) Other feedback you want to share? Pictures and videos would be highly appreciated (it's hard to find sound clips on youtube, at least much less than MBRP's sound clips)
Of course, any feedback/comment/experience/lesson is appreciated here! And wish all the pony owners who are trying to find a enjoyable exhaust system (just like myself) can finally find their love.
Thanks!
