No problem so far. i just drove my car all the way from Chicago to Houston 19 hours straight. turbocharged cars actually benefit from muffler deletes

amf · 09-11-2013, 01:23 PM

Did you leave the electrical connection plugged in to the actuator or disconnect it?

Thanks

amf · 09-11-2013, 02:43 PM

I just got this done. I like it but at 2000-2500rpms it is very deep (maybe this is drone). too deep for me. Above/below this range it sounds great. I have the 8speed Auto transmission. At highway speeds cruising there is no drone. Is there anything I can do for this.

My meisterschaft gt is essentially a muffler delete plus resonator delete...The drone is incredible under 2500. Just wondering if you others with similar set ups are getting any vibration in the car?

I get vibration with my muffler delete especially in comfort mode but it got better after disconnecting my battery. give it a try

wow really. that is crazy for such an expensive setup. I think I may purchase the m performance or cut open the stock and see if I can make it a little louder.

Why disconnecting the battery?

Well it has many other features as well, most notably, its missing any type of resonator or muffler. and it make the car feel/sound like a 500hp beast.

disconnecting the battery resets the ECU witch may help the car adjust to the new exhaust system

btbossman · 09-12-2013, 09:40 AM

Interesting, but what exactly would change? The new exhaust just increases air flow I thought? The car is doing pretty well, the vibrations Im talking about come from the center console(the little charger thing in the middle).

gtman · 09-12-2013, 09:54 AM

The new exhaust is a lot less restrictive then the factory exhaust. the engine has to adjust to the new set up disconnecting the battery may help speed up that processes.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 09-30-2013, 10:07 PM

Too low exhaust back pressure is only a concern on non-turbo engines. On turbo equipped engines the turbo itself provides back pressure, so you just want as much flow as possible.
