NPP or MRC

z28guy30 · 04-02-2016, 06:12 PM

Some of you got your Camaro's fully loaded, but mine came with MRC but standard exhaust. So if you could only choose one of the two which option would you consider more important to you?

banter · 04-02-2016, 06:13 PM

I'd consider MRC more important because there are tons of aftermarket exhaust options and some are even cheaper than NPP.

Fully agree!!!!!!!!!!!

That is how I feel. I am having a hard time finding an aftermarket exhaust that matches the tone I am looking for though. Borla and Flowmaster catbacks are loud and aggressive, but I want something that is a bit more subtle but still aggressive like NPP in track mode. In other words...I want to retain that sportscar exhaust note which is similar to the Vette imo.

Both...

I would say NPP. For the price it sounds really good in track mode. I haven't spent a ton of time in all the modes but I'm having trouble feeling a noticeable difference in modes with MRC. Should it be that noticeable to the point where there might be something wrong with mine if I can't feel a difference? What specifically should I notice?

I am on the fence if I should get MRC. If you can't tell a difference in the ride between tour and track then I think I will save the $1695.

You should definitely be able to feel the difference in MRC modes. Especially the lightness and stiffness of the steering wheel from tour mode to track. I can also feel the difference in suspension stiffness.

The stiffness of the steering isn't the MRC though, it's the electronic power steering adjusting. 3 things change with drive mode: exhaust, power steering, suspension. The biggest difference in MRC modes IMO are between track and snow/ice.

If I were you, I'd go the NPP route - looks great and it sounds perfect. If you can afford, get both options.

NPP.. I actually don't want MRC.

There is a difference. I've got a really bad back I'm sure I notice it more than others. My wife said she doesn't mind riding in this one in touring mode. She hated riding in my gen 5.

Why would you not want MRC?

CAMAR0STEVE · 04-02-2016, 08:55 PM

I leased and I'm not throwing my car into corners a lot to where I really feel I need the mrc. This thing handles great already. That being said since I lease and can't change the exhaust I really felt the NPP was a must. When I asked the sales guy what the car sounded like without it and he put it in stealth I immediately put it back to track and told him in gunna need it.
