MAD catted downpipes, Single resonated midpipe, front mount intakes a valve control

I’m all set with my intake and exhaust set up for planned unlock and tune. Purchased from XPH. Sounds great and I swear it makes a bit more power. Had Zaero single slat grill installed as well.

Fully open valves is hilarious and the intakes are loud in a good way! I can’t drive like that through my neighborhood haha. I can’t even imagine also doing the catback as well. I haven’t really had a chance to do highway cruise to check out any drone but overall it’s a pretty deep and aggressive tone, doesn’t seem too raspy. Some buzzing WOT but seems normal. Definitely need some more seat time with it and better opportunity to open it up. Living on Long Island means I’m usually stuck in traffic going 30 mph max.

Overall love the set up and know the downpipes are gonna be power makers when I unlock and tune.

Good luck!

FYI, if you get the cando+ and cando valve controller, you can now set it up in a way where it disables cold start in your neighborhood and autimatically opens the valve when you are out of this area

Looks great, and I bet it sounds even better.

Just an FYI drone on these cars usually happens in the 2–3k RPM range under steady load. Anything at WOT isn’t really drone-related.

If you’re getting any kind of rattle, I’d double check underneath and make sure nothing is sitting too close or making contact. Based on your install photo it looks perfect, but things can shift slightly once everything settles.
