I installed this past weekend. 0 fitment issues. Tone - best I have heard. Volume of the Mach XV was a little louder than I expected. Will be doing a full review soon, as I will put some highway time on it this week. Going to look for the sweet and sour spots and offer honest "opinion" based on my expectations and perceptions.

Stood outside the car and had the kid rev it to 4k. Flipping loud, but damn did it sound good :headbang:
The Mach XV is the quietest isn't it?

Yes it is the quietest of the 3. "Loud" is based on my opinion and perceptions and what i am after. The girl thinks it is extremely loud, but then again, she thought the stock was kinda loud lol

Funny how the car sits stock quiet at idle after warming up, and good throttle control can manage the volume... however, I have 373's manual, therefore always on throttle. so i drive 2,4,5 to control ..... Full customer review coming later this week.

Sound A+++ - deep and heavy with a true badass car sound

Volume - Based on my plans to add headers could require tweaking. Not sure yet.

Drone - will be testing this week, if there is any, i will find it :)

For the cost - One Nasty sounding stang

Mach XV is the quietest indeed, it is quieter the i. e. Borla Sport (that is pretty much the only one I could compare the Solo with), but it is still a performance exhaust. It is louder than the stock setup. I would compare it to Borla Touring loudness wise (different tone)

If it's Borla Touring volume i'd be interested...:)

Thanks for the semi review jabrax. My major concern before ordering was the XV would not be loud enough. Very happy I chose the XV after reading that.

Should be here wednesday and will install soon after. The tone sold me from the video. I also liked that it seems to maintain tone through the entire RPM range and doesn't turn tiny/super raspy at upper rpm/wot.

So pumped

Well the rest of my XV arrived today. It's beautiful. I'm a little old school and miss all the real metal chrome we used to get with cars (unlike all the plastic junk). So I went with the ss mirror polished tips. I am very pleased with the look. I plan to push them out as far as they will go. I want them to gleam in the sun!

Now to find time to put all my toys together. :headbang:

I have had the MachXV installed for about 2 weeks now. I am loving it!. I love it so much that I ordered the kit for my Challenger R/T. Solo Performance is an awesome company with great products. Just waiting on that tracking number. lol.

I'd like to hear more videos, different cars different cameras etc give different sounds...Seems the people that have bought are very happy though.
