Hello all,
Just picked up my 2016 Oxford White Mustang GT Performance Package early this January and finally got the first mod on the car. Picked up the MBRP Race Exhaust in the Black Finish from TeamBeefcake for a great price in my opinion, so definitely hit him up before you buy. Received the exhaust and first thing I can say is that the packaging done by MBRP is a little slacking. Box was not very thick and durable and arrived a bit torn up. Opened it up and skimmed over the parts inside and to my eye I couldn't see anything wrong. Closed up the box and took it to my uncles house to install on the lift he has in his garage. Once I was there I took out all the parts and noticed that the tip on one of the H Pipe ends was bent in-ward. Thankfully my uncle has a lot of tools and were able to bend it back into a perfect circle. Next I took out the mufflers and there was a small scratch on the black powdercoat. While mounted on the car you cannot see it so ill live with it but still not happy about that. The install took roughly 1 1/2 hours to do but im a perfectionist and the longest part was getting the tips to line up. Although the fit is pretty great for being one of the cheaper catbacks getting the tips to align 100% takes some serious tweaking from the H Pipe bolts, to the mid and rear hangers till everything finally sits even. If you don't care about the exhaust being 1/2 inch off to one side or 1/2 inch off up or down then you can probably do it in 45 minutes to an hour. As for the sound, I expected this thing to be a loud beast that was almost unbearable, but I was pleasantly surprised when I installed it. It has that deep V8 Rumble but when you rev it, it has that nice rasp to it. While driving it manageable while doing regular city driving and even when you get on it its loud but a good loud. The only downfall to the sound for me is at 1750-2000 RPM there is a bit of drone but nothing terrible I would say for me the drone is a 3/10. I got the exhaust in black and I believe it looks great with the black tips and mufflers since the performance package has the black/white theme already going with the black wheels. Overall for the price I got it I dont think you can go wrong especially since it brings the 3 inch H Pipe. Would I have wanted it to come packaged a little better? Yes, but for the price these exhausts are going for you have to give and take. I would definitely recommend this exhaust to someone. Below are some pics and vids of the install and the exhaust on the car. Hope this helps any of you on the fence!
