MRT 1.0, 2.0 or Solo...that is the question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TJ91 · 04-09-2010, 07:49 PM

Ok guys, my birthday is on Monday, which mean gift for me(Camaro)
So, im torn apart from these 3 exhaust:
MRT 1.0
MRT 2.0(Screaming

)
Solo
Now i think the 2.0 might be too quiet for me, the 1.0 might be too raspy(Need more opinions on that and drone)
And well i was set on the Solo before, but then it seems a little too quiet and kind of sounds like its pushing air, kinda like its choking

Dont know how else to explain it.
Can you guys give me your opinions please....i know they all sound different in person, and everyone has different likes
Im 19, and i like loud, but i dont want that headache drone at 2100rpm, and i dont want it to be too quiet at idle. See my dillemma, all three of these systems have their advantages and disadvantages
Just would like to hear your honest opinions onn them, your dislikes and likes
Thanks alot guys

Solo.
its aggressive but not tinny or "ricer"
I think it has a great deeper tone than the MRTs. It's not much more $$, but you get a real catback system with x pipe (its in the muffler)

i like the way you think, plus theyre local!
Is it loud? or a little loud? lol i cant tell in the vids

TJ91 · 04-09-2010, 08:02 PM

Feel free to PM me if you dont want to publicly expose your opinion lol

I heard the Solo in person for a brief little bit...

It's very deep. And very loud. And very SMOOTH....that's it's defining characteristic, imo.
It's a very aggressive, yet refined exhaust note. Almost sounds like it could have been factory.

EDIT: I haven't heard the MRT systems, so I can't compare....

I think the best advice any of us can give you would be to try and find owners near you that have installed each of the systems you are considering. If you have to go for a long drive to listen in person, then it's worth it.

I'm perfectly happy with my SOLO exhaust but you might like the sound of one of the MRT systems better. I can tell you that unless you can hear these different systems in person, you are going to have to take a leap of faith and just pick based on video clips and other people's opinions.

Have you looked at the Magna Flow cat back? I have it on my 2LTRS...just right sound!

Blade · 04-09-2010, 11:05 PM

I just had the MRT 2.0s installed today.......INCREDIBLE.

Beauwulf · 04-10-2010, 06:10 AM

Here's my MRT V1X2 setup on the track.... push forward on the vid to 2:45 to bypass the waiting in line. I replaced the stock resonators with a second set of Aero25s... same ones used in the MRT V1s.

Since it's you TJ, I'll try to get a little video around town this morning for you. It just keeps getting better with age! I love the sound now! Here's the sound from behind the car.

esperman · 04-10-2010, 09:04 AM

if your not in a hurry, I'm producing a professional video featuring Solo Performance. It's for an upcoming web car blog I'm doing. We'll have a camera truck and follow the car in traffic throughout the RPM range. We're still a couple months away.....

Beauwulf · 04-10-2010, 11:15 AM

OK TJ... here's a little video around town.

Thanks alot for the vid, it sounds really good around town and when you rev. How much did the set up cost you? Im kinda on a budget of $600-$700
