Between the headers, test pipes and MD system I'm surprised you both aren't tone deaf lol. The MD, Ark and FI are all great systems that seem to be able to bolster the VQ tone in the best ways possible through their engineering/R&D, etc. but test pipes will make a raspy VQ even more...raspy.

Headers might be the saving grace somehow since every set-up with non-resonated test pipes has a rasp to it in one way or another. Your friend have a video clip? I'd be interested in hearing that banshee scream.

Well, got the email and tracking number for my exhaust. Should be shipped out today and I'll receive it by next Friday hopefully. Install it that weekend hopefully. I guess I ordered at the right time. Let's see what the hypes about

Yeah man from what I heard, people waited weeks, sometimes months. I made a few phone calls and ordered on Wednesday night and luckily got a tracking. Mariella at MD was super helpful as well. She called me and let me know when the exhausts were ready.

Edit: unfortunately they didn't have the stainless rolled so I had to get the stainless straight. Oh well

Good timing. Sounds like they finished a batch of them and have some extras to sell that aren’t already spoken for. I ordered mine August 8th and they missed several completion dates. None of that matters now that it’s ready. Mariella is great. Already have an install date set up for next Saturday. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about something.

Just to tease you guys getting your exhaust soon.. I'm literally getting like 14-15 MPG recently because of how fun it is to stretch my car's legs.

Great videos and nice Gs! I know for VQ37, he was running Stock Cats. I know you mentinoed it before MaQ, but what were you running for cats again? ARTs?

I think what I am going to miss the most with my ark is the blurples and pops every now and then. I love those type of exhausts (Jag F Type) for some odd reason but it is very satisfying to hear them.

I know MaQ mentioned you get a few pops, but do they occur normally or are they sorta rare. Regardless, that is something I am going to miss with my ARK

I am on ART Pipes. I get cracks/pops every downshift loud enough to turn heads. And, depending on how fast my shifting is, it will pop on upshifts.

Do you think it's due to the ART or will my Z1s result in the same outcome. I sure hope so. Can't wait till I get it.

"Flicks Lighter" .. Do you feel the flame GDP? Lol joking. Post a video of it GDP, let's see how she do.

On the other hand, I haven't got any updates on the tracking for my MD still at the original "label created". AHH I just want to install it already.
