I'm getting real sick of seeing this. THERE IS NO POWER LOSS. And drone depends on the user. EVERY louder exhaust system will be louder... everything that people have described isn't actually drone, just loudness. Drone will vibrate the entire car.

Anyway, have you looked at the MRT catback? Sounds pretty good too, with H-pipe. I'd say 2nd behind sw with Bassani/corsa also tied for 2nd (if only they offered an h).

Sorry the SW catback restricts power compared to Kooks and American Racing if you decide to go with headers.

If you just plan on adding a catback to the stock setup you're ok.

I must be in the minority, but I do not like the sound of the SW exhaust at all. I don't like perforated muffler (glass pack) design.

I owned a dyno for years (motorcycle dyno) and some guy came in one time to dyno with a glass pack style muffler he welded in place of his factory muffler. It had little flaps hanging inward of the flow of gas. Not only did it sound like crap, it lost a ton of power. Yes, I know street bikes are different then cars, but that's my only experience with that style muffler.

We're currently running the FRPP Sports, so the S types. They sound fantastic and honestly have zero drone... like..... none! Dan and I had a full conversation in the car without having to speak up, then on the outside, it sounds awesome.

I'm curious and shocked to see why some are disappointed, x pipe is a good design and the overall design of the system is a little different which is going to throw harmonics off a tad. I was afraid that the x pipe "sports" were going to be raspy, I truly don't find that to be the case but again, that can be subjective.

Once we figure out which headers to go with we'll post up some vids, I haven't heard the FRPP cat back yet with a set of headers on.

Always ran Borla but the new system is too raspy. Why I went with MRT

Headers and the frpp sport will sound sick!! Can't wait to hear that!

It COULD restrict power, but do you have proof? I did mean with factory connection, yes.

Deep sound of an h-pipe without the power restrictions of the SW design. Plus no drone!

Honestly, I prefer your Corsa system out of most everything so far. I'm not understanding the hype surrounding this ATAK system... it doesn't sound special to me.

As far as exhaust setups go, I haven't found one that really sounds ideal. I almost like SW's but it sounds so synthetic, and from the videos I've seen, the pitch doesn't change enough as the revs climb. Borla's FRPP setup sounds good but a little generic. Gibson sounds good but not very refined, although I like how aggressive it can sound with a muffler delete. All the others I've heard, mainly the custom one-offs, sound like ass.

If someone made something that had the racy, hard-edged sound of your Corsa setup mixed with something like SW/FRPP's baritone sound, I'd be sold.

Thanks man! I absolutely LOVE my Corsa setup! Be patient. It's worth the wait.

All of the information hasn't been released just yet so that's just an assumption at this point ;)

I'm curious, what kind of sound are you looking for? I feel the stainless works catback has a great sound it has a deep rumble vs the raspy sound in the FRPP.

Any drone with SW?

Have you seen the other thread where they trash Gibson. Very poor workmanship on the welds and drones terribly.

that was only one person's opinion on the welds and drone is subjective. There are more people saying it doesn't drone than there are that say it do...yet noone has a video proving it does yet. I hope to hear it in person on saturday myself from a local mustang owner with it.

people just misinterpret drone for sound and not understand what drone actually is.

Their were pictures of the welds. Thats not an opinion. Thats fact.

Khyber if you have a way to record the sound in my car this weekend I would be glad to let you do it.

i see no issues that would deter me from buying personally, but i'm also not a welder and have no clue what is good and what isn't, but as long as it doesn't come apart or rust out and saves me $600 over the next exhaust...then worth a shot...but hey that's me! :cheers:
