NOISY or NICE? Adding an MBRP CATBACK EXHAUST on my WIFE's C8 Corvette

[@paulstuart1996]

Much better! Totally agree that the square tips was a silly decision by the manufacturer. Great video…keep on keeping on! 😎

[@midlifecarisis_]

Totally agree!

Would love to see a video where you drive the car in manual mode, and do "downshifts" as you pass by! .. Want to see how well it will snap & burble on downshifts. 👍🏼

[@midlifecarisis_]

I will see what I can do, always looking for new video ideas. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't!

Have had this on my C8 for over a year now and I like the look and sound as well.

Thanks Donavan! - We need to do a video on your Ferrari soon!

Great video !! Can you “feel” the exhaust in the car and is it louder in the car while driving ?

[@midlifecarisis_]

You can feel the exhaust in the car mostly on startup and acceleration. It is not so loud in the car that you can't drive it. I feel it wakes it up just enough that it still can be used as a daily driver.

[@WattsupVideo]

enjoyed the video, getting this exhaust next month. Stupid question, what do you do with the old exhaust? Is there a market to sell it? I definitely dont want it in my garage.

[@midlifecarisis_]

I still have mine, I put it up in the attic, my plane is to change it back to stock before I trade it back in. Then I would try to sell the MBRP one. Thanks for watching!

@@midlifecarisis_ Thank you so much for your reply!

[@Stew5166]

@@midlifecarisis_ MBRP only costs about $1400, and it's not worth it to go through the pains of swapping them out in my opinion. I bought MBRP and also have this suitcase muffler taking up space in my garage, but I think I will soon just drop it off at the local scarp metal depot.

[@bellumk9inc]

Does it add any performance increase?

[@midlifecarisis_]

Since it is just a catback exhaust, it won't really have much performance change. It is a muffler delete,, but it is really just a change in exhaust sound. Thanks for watching.

It does drop slot of weight

[@joec33]

Thank you 👍🏻

Does this give any HP gains?? Debating on this or Awe

[@midlifecarisis_]

No HP gains, for me it was sound and price. AWE at the time was quite a bit more expensive. MBRP was a good balance between sound and price for a non-valved version. Thanks for watching and commenting, please consider subscribing to the channel!

MBRP says that it adds "best performance", but doesn't state any numbers. I have this exhaust, along with the Attack Blue air filter installed at the same time, and all I can say is .. WOW!!! This was the BEST addition I have made to my car and it totally transformed my car from that I liked to one that I LOVE!!! ... Paddle shifting with this exhaust is so cool.

[@bezaldo7]

This or 2m?

[@midlifecarisis_]

I apologize, not sure what 2M stands for?

[@Stew5166]

So, what was the wife's take on the new exhaust? .. Can she deal with the cold start volume?? .. Does she still talk to you? 😁 Really trying to make a sound decision between this, which is a muffler delete, and the 2M Fabrication cat back , which has some super tiny mufflers (Looks 100% identical to Paragon Touring Cat back .. perhaps their mfgr??) ... I love everything about the MBRP that I can see/hear .. but wonder if the cold starts will get old.

[@midlifecarisis_]

She still talks to me, she was pleasantly surprised, she like the loud start up, it is not a daily, so it doesn't bother her. She hated the quiet muted stock Corvette exhaust more. Thanks for watching.
