Is it just me? MAD vs AA Mid Pipe
On my 2016 I had an AA single mid pipe that seems noticeably louder than my 2018 with a MAD mid pipe.
All other things are equal. The design and material I thought were very much the same, is my 2018 just more insulated? |

There’s no additional sound deadening material added to later production cars. The design may be identical (copied) but is it the same thickness and the exact same 300 series SS?

They sound the same, same steel material and quality, same design.

There is no sound difference between the two. Just a Price difference.

So a blatant copy of the AA design. Price should be lower considering they had zero R&D and I bet I can guess where it’s fabricated which again reduces the price. All weld quality is identical to AA?

Our Midpipe is 40% cheaper. Both products are manufactured in the same county. We utilize our own manufacturer, known for their use of high-quality stainless steel and precision welds. Additionally, our product comes with a lifetime warranty, a feature not offered by the competition.

I answered all of your questions but now you are putting words in my mouth. 1. You said our product must be inferior in some way and now you are saying that we said "design and welds are superior to AA’s original design and fabrication" I never wrote that. - I explained we have our own manufacturer that produces our midipipes with excellent quality welds and we use 304 stainless on all of our products. 2. You said it should be cheaper - its 40% less. 3. You said they are made in different countries- I let you know they are not. 4.Our warranty is LIFETIME compared to 1 year.

I sense we're repeating ourselves, so I'll make this my final response.
As previously mentioned, our midpipe has excellent welds and is crafted from 304 stainless steel. I can't speak to the materials or weld quality of your midpipe. My focus is solely on the quality of our own midpipe and not a this VS that type of comparison.

To say the least. Glad you figured it out.
