I would install anything before I ever put the factory ones back on. That is why I knew I could toss them out too.

Lol, I. Just got mine on Friday so I had to duck out of work a little early to go get them welded on couldn't be happier. I have put about 400 miles on it already and I think I can hear it changing. I have been taking the long way home from work so far this week. I have been do some 0-really illegal with the windows down. Its nice day today in baltimore so I'm gonna roll the windows down on the ride home.

No more issues with anything moving now........

The right one has been the bane of my existence because I could not get the tip centered no matter what (rotating it, playing with the hangers, etc). Right now the tip is not touching the plastic but it is close to it (not enough clearance to put my fingers through). I just worry that if the tip heats up in the summer, it could melt the plastic above it. :(

Same here. I was just looking at mine at lunch. It has moved since being installed. I know that we had trouble getting that one to line up originally, but I think it has shifted again

Mine was moving too, which is why they got welded.

Now that I've been driving for 3 weeks I can tell you 100%, that the MRT v2.0 has grown more and more on me! Its such a smooth, yet strong sound. I can't get enough of it.

For sure it has broken in just as anticipated. I hope it sounds this way forever. It's at a point where its all I think about when I drive. lmao

VR Baron · 04-27-2011, 03:45 PM

Mines breaking in to. 1500 miles and better. And the drone or boom at low rpm around town sounds more like its out back and not inside.

Forza · 05-04-2011, 08:19 AM

I finally got around to cleaning the car with all this rain. Loving my MRT v2's!!!!!

ThatGuy25 · 09-17-2011, 04:43 PM

Are there any MRT shops around Miami?... =[ installing it myself would be a pain in the a$$ since i had no lift, and i don't trust other mechanics. =D

No lifts required to install. I drove mine up on my ramps. Cut the stock ones off with a saws all and installed the new ones.

This is a DIY easy job.

MRT V1.0 For the reckless.. ERRRR

Sterling · 09-18-2011, 01:56 AM

I did my MRT V1.0's on jackstands... It was quick and easy, no need for a lift. Now that they are broken in... they aren't as loud so I'm thinking about removing the resonators too. I think the V2.0 sounds better without them, so I hope the same goes for the V1.0.

Just got my MRT V2's today, can't wait to get them installed this weekend. Will let you know how they sound!
