Awe track VS MBRP Race

nothing_but_troub1le · 12-01-2025, 09:48 AM

So I've been thinking about changing up my exhaust. Currently I have mbrp Race axle back and a 2ndary cat delete. Sounds pretty good, pops like a son of a bitch. No complaints. But the mbrp came on the car when i bought it and I of course got the 2ndaries deleted. But lately I've been eyeing the AWE track catback, Its what I was going to put on the car if it didn't have an exhaust on it when i bought it. What do you think? worth it? Noticeable Difference?

Those are both essentially "straight through" systems, so they'll sound the same or similar enough where you're better off picking based on which tips you prefer.

I would tell you that your just changes straight through pipes, as I see it, and there's not much at all that's going to change the sound or tone. I do like different configurations and how they position under the car but I doubt you're looking at difference in sound between the two you listed.
For instance I had the MBRP race and there's no difference, really, with the Corsa NPP that I put on the car but I gained stainless steel, a better look under the car, but the open valves, unsurprisignly sound "the same". I gained back the valves though and thats what I was after.

automatic OEM car here, what makes it pop so much when I hit the paddle shifters to drop a few gears?

we drove thru the Blue Ridge late at night, and had a blast making it pop on and burble on decel.

is that a typical "lean decel pop" that means I need a tune?

or do the NPP valves open when you downshift it three gears?
