That sounds awesome.

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

Sounds even better in person. I'll try to get more footage soon from the rear of the car and driving.

No check engine lights? You did an amazing job! I have a 2017 GT MC.

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

@@HISVOICE4LIFE Thanks! No check engine lights. The adapters that came with the sport cats that screw into the O2 sensor bungs made all the difference here.

I am going through the same thing right now. I ran some BG about a yr ago and it went away until now. Now I am just gonna upgrade the exhaust system. the OEM's are like 6k for the set. May as well get something better.

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

@@NexisGamesATX Yep, that was my thought as well. While fixing might as well upgrade.

Did you end up installing the brackets back on or no? My shop didn’t install them back in, wasn’t sure if they didn’t bc it didn’t fit to the aftermarket cats or if they forgot

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

I installed the OEM brackets back on. I had to bend them ever so slightly, but honestly not much. They mostly fit right back on.

Would like to hear what it sounds like outside the car in sports mode. I have a mc shift and the neighbours have started to complain on the cold start ups. I might have to switch over to a auto (do they start quieter) ?

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

They all start somewhat loud. If you keep sport mode off then the muffler exhaust valves stay closed and quiet it down after a minute. I’ll try to do a driving video with some new equipment here soon so you can hear from the outside in sport mode.

[@ljames85jr]

I always have sport mode off on start up but as the wife describes it's like a jet engine at 5.45am . Do actually feel really bad about it. Wondering how to make a temporary muffler to get out of the neighbourhood. If not I will probably have to sell up. Looking forward to it enjoying your videos 👍

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

Look into a muffler valve controller. I think by default it opens the valves on startup for a brief bit and then closes them for startup purposes to give it that loud startup (dont quote me on this but that what it seems like it does). You might check to see if you can find a way to control those valves to keep them closed and then flip a switch to let them operate normally once you get out of the neighborhood. Worth a bit of research before selling. Thanks for the support! Looking forward to making more videos and posting more stuff!

Cool, does it change the stock exhaust tone? How much are for both cats? Thank you

[@Fix-it-Tribe]

Yes, it changes the exhaust note quite a bit in sport mode. In normal driving mode its almost as quiet as stock. See here for the sport cats: www.urutuauto.com/shop/p/x-pipe-6e63c You can buy JUST the sport cats on ebay through Urutu auto for a lower price also without the x-pipe which is what I ended up doing.
