To me how a car sounds is as important as how fast it goes. Also, the aggressive looks on my MSport don't match the engine note. Its like a burly man with the voice of an adolescent teenager.

I guess, an easy option that could rectify this is to get the MPerformance Exhaust. Can someone who has the MPerformance exhaust review it and help answer the following questions.

1) Is is loud enough to get a bit of engine note in the cabin, without being too loud?

2) How does it is alter the sound as compared to the stock exhaust?

3) How much did the part and installation cost?

Thanks in advance.
1. Yes

2. Deeper sound driving and between shifts

3. Had it installed as part of purchase at VPC prior to delivery so it was rolled in, but the price is generally available.

Still haven't taken it WOT yet though since engine isn't fully broken in, but I'm anticipating even more sound as I begin driving harder.
