x100 Absolutely love my tomei and catless downpipe setup. IMO the tomei sounds different than any other exhaust ive heard on an ecoboost. You get more burble, whistle, and all the snaps, crackles and pops you could ever want, but drone on the freeway isn't bad at all. If you don't mind spending the money, no other exhaust comes close in terms of quality except maybe borla or corsa, but those systems sound just like a cheap MBRP or Magnaflow Imo.Tomei
Its not uncommon for an exhaust tone to incrementally change for a little while after being installed as the exhaust "seasons". Eventually it reaches its final note and characteristics. My MBRP race exhaust was the same. The note got a little deeper over time and I don't have as much of the cracks and pops as I did initially, though an aggressive tune did put back a touch more pop on deceleration.I have a cobb 3" turbo back exhaust with cat. It is much deeper than stock but does not pop, crack, or make any other noises that some other aftermarket exhaust do. The only thing is cobb is pricey and I'm sure there is an exhaust with same deep tone for less money I just dont know what it is. Also I have noticed that since its been tuned it is louder than when I first put it on
I have the MBRP street and no lie driving it for the first time after putting it on I was like... WTF did I do, this is way too loud and annoying (was also top down driving). After a few days it settled in and Ive loved it ever since, disabling the fake engine noise like a year after install helped a lot too, cabin noise is way better now in terms of what you hear. Deeper is how mine went for sure as well, and yeah I dont really get cracks and pops anymore.Its not uncommon for an exhaust tone to incrementally change for a little while after being installed as the exhaust "seasons".
