Right next to the brody knob on your steering wheel.

where did you have it done?

Mom and pop shop in a small town I used to work in. Shop around for a spot like that if you can. It took about 15 minutes to do.

Not sure why I asked. I'd have my son the master tech do it.

Obviously, I'm reflecting on our muscle car days, back in the '60's.

I recall a few cars in town that had cutouts. They were illegal, or course, unless opened up on a drag strip or race track - beyond nasty noisy. Ear damaging noisy.

What? Can you repeat that, please?

I felt the same way when I got the m240 back in February. Wasn't quite the sound I wanted. Did the Dinan midpipe and haven't regretted it yet. Basically a resonator delete, but with a full 3" pipe from cat to stock exhaust. Full exhaust was pricey and didn't impress me enough for the $$$.

Ron Jeffries · 12-08-2017, 07:01 PM

That's more like it. Is that mid pipe on stock exhaust, or on MPE?

Just Dinan midpipe on stock exhaust.

hmm, makes me worry adding to mpe would be too loud, but maybe i shouldn’t care

The way I looked at it was, I knew I would get the midpipe anyway. So, why not do the first and cheapest option to see if it is enough. It was for me. $500 midpipe and I love the sound enough to stop there. I get a lot of compliments, and people are amazed it was just with a midpipe/resonator delete.

Cold start is loud, but only for a few seconds.
