Yes, when your foot is to the floor people will hear you. But can be quite when coasting so you can be stealth like.

Few stories of me and my MRT v2:

1. I'm in college and stayed the night at a friends house over the summer, left at like 3am and there is a hill outside her house. I always like going from 0-50 (speed limit on the street). First time I did it the next day her parents said I woke them up. I kept doing it throughout the summer, woke them up everytime. Didn't do it on purpose but couldn't resist hearing my exhaust.

2. Also I'm in the army so I leave at 5am and I wake my roommate up every day. But he's a car guy too and is used to it. (not in a garage either, open parking lot)

3. People always pull up and say do those always sound that good from the factory. Have to tell them I changed the exhaust.

4. Not really a true story as it is in a garage and that makes anything louder. But when I visit my parents and start my car the glass table in the room directly above it rattles like no other. (side note, car sounds excellent in a parking garage!)

Hope these help, I wouldn't change exhaust even if I got a more expensive set for free.

Well after my first meet I was so glad I got the Ark system. Everyone in our group had either mrt or flow master so it's nice to have something different. And I'm not trying to be a dick but the mrt tips are fugly.

Ok... since you but it that way! LOL!

One thing... On a Camaro the system is Ver 2.0, but Scott renamed it "Interceptor" for Ford Products! LOL

As for videos I went off of Scrming's videos but rtcatman has some excellent videos as well.
Thank - you. Posted below.

They will hear you and you will be known.

MRT 2.0 does just that IMHO.

Sounds GREAT. much better than stock for sure.







I installed my own MRT 2.0. Then took it to the people who built it and had them weld it on.

I have had many members on this and other Forums say this is one of the best sounding systems they have heard and by far the best sounding MRT 2.0 system.

Take a listen for yourself. Listen to these thru some headphones or ear buds.

Here is a few videos for you:

This one is from inside my Camaro on the way to the dragstrip.



This one is from inside my Camaro while at the dragstrip. Sorry about the Camera tipping.



This one is one that SCRMNG filmed for me while we were at the dragstrip. the last 30 seconds is me on a single pass.



This last clip is one that danrc28 put together when visiting me to hear a MRT 2.0 system. He went from Toronto to Florida and back stopping along the way picking up sound bytes. The video starts off with outside rev's, then an on ramp full throttle run, then an acceleration run from inside while talking about drone. Tape finishes with me passing the camera on the highway doing 3rd gear runs. Which has not been recorded by anyone else using the MRT (or at least I am not aware of anyone with this type of recording.) (rcat's)

And Saint Alban will show you how to eliminate that drone so you can enjoy the ride all of the time.

I installed my MRT 2.0 earlier this week. It was pretty easy to install and besides installing my Roto-Fab, I had no prior experience with doing work on cars.

I love the sound. It does let people know you are there, and the drone, at least for me is barely noticeable. I guess if I turned the music completely off I might notice it. What I notice is when I'm accelerating, but when I'm cruising it sounds nice and quiet.

A cold start up in a garage is awesome.

The first time I cranked it up after the installation I was grinning from ear to ear. What a difference!!!
