The mic on my camera sucks ass. I hate to post videos because it doesn't do the exhaust any justice. Not even remotely.

Agree this sounds great. I took the resonator out as well, although the resonator on the MPE isn't very big so removing it doesn't make a big difference.

Sport cat and muffler delete is great. I only have issues with drone on cold starts. After a few miles the tone is much more suiting for a BMW.

I will admit, cold start and driving is a little rough. But like you said, after a couple minutes your golden!

I had to start parking on the fourth floor at work. Damn fancy car alarms lol.

But yeah once in golden mode. It sounds amazing outside with I'd say minimal drone at 3k. Super easy to stay out of it in a 8at by shifting or just going from sport to normal to Econ.

That being said. I can't go back. I love the muffler delete carbon fiber tips. Gorgeous.

And if it's too loud, definitely grab the sport cat. Lol. I sound like I work for fabspeed. Maybe they'll send me free shit someday

Haha! You're definitely hitting the nail on the head about everything. The sound, the Carbon Tips (same ones I have).

You are part of the Fabspeed team!

I have a Fabspeed muffler delete as well, but I get pretty significant drone between 2500-3000. Its worse when the car is cold, but still significant when warmed up! Sounds beautiful from the outside though...

How much louder did you car get with the sport cat paired with the muffler delete?

Has anyone done this that can give me tips and what it was like when they returned the car.

Also if you live in Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, Hollywood, North Hollywood, or studio city) and can recommend a good place to get some exhaust work done please do.
My recommendation is actually to get a new downpipe - especially our Sport Cat Downpipe. Easy swap in and out for your lease and you shouldn't have any issues in regards to the dealership/warranty (I get my car serviced all the time with our Sport Cat on there - no issues).

Not only will the Sport Cat provide some good power gains but you will also get that mild increase in the exhaust sound while being CEL-free.

Check your PMs, I'd love to chat more!
Can you pm me price shipped to 94122?

Like a beast. The gf says it sounds like a lion. I installed both at the same time so can't explain what the sport cat would do post a muffler delete.

Videos and sound clips really don't do it justice. You have to hear it for yourself, like the matrix
