I have spoken to Motordyne as well in the beginning of June about getting the g37x sedan exhaust. They told me they are "testing the waters" by only making a few each production run, and that they should have some more in by the end of the week and will give me a call back. I never got a call back and tried calling again, didn't get an answer. Tried again a few days later and got someone on the line and was told it would be the following week. That turned into another week and so on.

I wanted an exhaust before the end of the month so I went ahead and bought the ARK exhaust. Overall the fitment is good and it sounds really nice imo.

Kinda sucks because Motordyne was my first choice but the back and forth about when it would be available pushed me to get the ARK. The lady over the phone did mention that they have the awd version on their website but when I went to go look I didn't see any option to select awd: https://motordyneengineering.com/pro...sedan-exhaust/

More fickle reports, thats too bad. Im in the same position of really wanting an exhaust and Ark being my second choice. I think im just going to wait it out. I dont want to have that nagging thought in the back of my head after spending the money on an Ark that I should have waited for the crazy, nasty sounding Motordyne to come out. Everybody says how great and how much they love their Ark exhaust which is tempting though. I want that straight pipe, race car sounding rev that only Motordyne can seem to successfully create.

I'll also make sure i post on here when i do hear something, in case anyone else is interested.
Pretty much identical. Its barely discernible if there is a difference.
Voila...

I would have done the same had i not been lied to, but at this point, i don't want to cancel my order and get the ark exhaust, then regret it later on. I went on a test drive with a buddy if mine with the Motordyne, no words for what it sounds like in person.

Motordyne G37x exhaust update

So the very nice Mariella from Motordyne who works at the offices which are located in Georgia is going to put some pressure on the manufacturing facility in California to try and get a more definitive answer on timing. I told her I would call her next week for an update. I wonder if putting together a group buy to confirm how many people would be ready to pay would give more incentive for them to speed up this process.

Those sound awesome...if that were a race car. I couldn't live with that day-to-day and I wouldn't be pleased to hear a neighbor's car that loud. Too many <Red Foreman>dumbasses</Red Foreman> don't want to *****-foot around my house.

I have D.C headers, Motordyne ART pipes, and Motordyne E370. I get quite a few bad stares around my apartment complex.

Honestly **ck em. A little bit of noise a couple times a day for a short period of time shouldn't be a big deal. That being said, I dont live in the suburbs so I dont really have to be too concerned with offending the neighbors. I would love to live with that sound day to day. Thats the type of thing that gets me even more excited to get in my car and drive.

If there's a group buy arranged I'm in. 100%.

F*ck the stares. Those are the same folks who are blow hards for Harleys and old school muscle cars when they're ripping. If listening to a fantastic exhaust tone makes them mad then they'll find just about any reason to get pissy

You guys are assuming these stares are critical, and you're projecting an aggressively defensive reaction. Instead, assume the stares come from a sense of awe in observing an impressive car, and enjoy the moment.

You can't control, or know, what other people are thinking... unless they're frowning at you, and grabbing their kids in fear (LOL). But your perception is your own, so own it.

The mean mug + fist shaking is usually bad...but seriously, I get the furrowed brow stare down just for a slightly aggressive take-off and I'm stock.

Motordyne is purely out of spite lol. I like the tone of it a lot and it's slowly grown on me over the FI system. That said, the FI system is my go to if this doesn't come to fruition.

Quickly, I thought MD already made a Sedan system: https://www.z1motorsports.com/exhaus...st-p-7305.html

This won't fit the AWD?
