Mike, do you think the DP put it over the top and it might have been alright without it?

THANKS

Getting S Type installed Friday hopefully, I already have a catless DP so it will definitely be loud as its already pretty loud on startup. We will see its only bad cause I'm in underground condo so everything echos like mad. I don't mind so much since I don't have kids or anything and GF will just have to suck it up. Hope the resonators cut the drone as I did a resonator delete on the stock exhaust so its a bit drony on highway.

Also for the RWD vs AWD ppl.

This exhaust only fits RWD from Borla. You need to rejig it for Xdrive theres a bracket you need to cut and re weld. This is easy for any reputable exhaust shop and 100ish bucks is reasonable. I have AWD btw and the S type I bought is used from another forum member that has the Xdrive so it should be no problem for me. However this is a heads up for anybody that has AWD and are looking for the exhaust. There needs to be adjustments and you can't install it on your own as you will not be able to just bolt on. I'll post vids once its done.

Enjoy! You'll love it....but prep your neighbors (and your ears) for some major raucous the first 30 seconds when doing a cold startup haha.

I live in condo and not many cars moving in and out when I leave so not a huge deal but yeah, its already pretty damn loud with a DP and Resonator delete. Need to make sure doors are shut when I start it lol.

Bout to add an AR resonated catless DP to my car with existing MPE, I'm already the neighborhood asshole so I'm OK with it. My dickhead neighbors litter in the middle of the street so they can go fuck themselves if they don't like 30 sec of a cold start.
