So... MRT Exhaust Version 2.0
 
Well, I got a call from Scott at MRT the other day. He wanted do do a little more experimenting. I had the day off yesterday so I went down to MRT.

Scott's been in the automotive business for a very long times and knows everyone's tastes are different, especially when it comes to exhausts. So to that end, Scott wanted to offer us Camaro owners a system with a sound that was a bit more subdued... a more refined performance sound...

So with that in mind and based some of the comments and feedback, Scott wanted to try and improve on the original Scrming's Axle Back system... He wanted to come up with a setup that would cut down on the rasp, be better behaved in the 2000 RPM range, that was tame while you were cruising, yet be aggressive when you WANT IT TO BE! Think of it as a Street Performance version...

I'm going to hold off posting my opinions and thoughts so people can give it an unbiased listen... grab your head phones guys!



And for reference, here is the original Scrming's Axle-Back



I know the first thing you guys will want is some in cabin video... I didn't have time to get that yesterday so I will try to get out and do that today...

Ok.. disclaimer... this setup is still in the very early stages.... still working out the details.. I just wanted to share... LOL!


**** UPDATE 11/21/09 ****

Pricing has been set! MRT Ver 2.0 will retail for $549, however like Ver 1.0 MRT is setting an introductory price of $499!

Version 2.0 is now on the MRT website!

D'oah! :facepalm: Epic Fail... LOL!

Try it now!

I like the new setup. Not as quite as "harsh" (if that's the right word) as the original version. Sounds good!

Great Job John. :thumbsup:

It sound allot more to what I'm looking for. As long as there is no drone I'm really digging this. I was leaning towards the magnaflow or the Corsa but with the cheapest one of the two starting at almost $1,200 It's a hard pill to swallow.

What will be the price for this set up?

drivingincamaro 10-31-2009 11:25 AM

oh man bookmarked :D that sounds killer :thumbsup:

FISHTAIL 10-31-2009 11:26 AM

Is this an axle back or a cat back?

BigBOSS 10-31-2009 11:28 AM

Sounds good! Any idea what brand the mufflers/resonators are?

scrming 10-31-2009 11:33 AM

Thanks, guys!

Yes, this version is "less harsh" and more "subdued"... it definitely is not as loud... With the first setup you could very easily hear my car start up from the back side of the house... with this setup you cannot...

As for pricing... Not sure... Wish I had more info on that... but I will be sure to post more info on it as it becomes available!!!

Also... editing some in-cabin video right now!

This is still an axle-back..

It's basically a resonator but to me it looked kind of like a straight-thru muffler ... :iono:

As for the rest... Scott asked me to keep it a bit more under wraps for now...

You can bet it will be WAY cheaper than Borla and Corsa plus it supports a great member of Camaro5.

I actually like both sounds ,but guess my wife would appreciate it not being heard from a house away. LOL

It would be interesting to hear a drive by without getting on the throttle so much just to hear how more normal driving sounds. It seems pretty loud in the vids except at idle. Good tone though and the rasp seems to be under control.

buddylok 10-31-2009 01:07 PM

I like the 2.0 sound ! :)

Xanthos 10-31-2009 01:16 PM

Sounds really good!

I still prefer the original kit though - I'm assuming its still going to be sold?
