Macht Schnell Xpipe with Megan catback exhaust

Hoseroller74 · 05-06-2014, 05:10 PM

Just a quick video of my car rolling outta the shop with a newly installed Macht Schnell Xpipe Catless. Couldn't be happier. The car is now 100% drone free! Enjoy

Thats strange, because I have the same setup and the drone was unbearably loud. It was so bad the Megan is now sitting in the corner of the garage rather than on the car.

Very strange, as the Megan had a bad drone at 80kmh without the xpipe...very minimal with the xpipe at 80 and non existence thereafter.

However, sound is a very subjective matter !

Just saw and heard with my head phone your video ( and more than ones) !
And i need to say there is something wrong ,there is exhaust vibration noise in your video,so i'm almost sure something is not been properly fixed or not 100 % fastened !
Anyway it sounds like.......
So i would say...check by yourself !

Lol.... What you're hearing, is an audio recording from a cell phone as well as reverb probably coming from the cement walls and pavement as it exits from the shop. I can assure you its properly installed and not nothing is loose...

Yes i know about recording with cellphone , but here it sounds realy with a vibration noise like i said above and that between 3-4 secondes playtime in your video !
But when it's ok for you it's also for me !

pretty sure that's just the rasp you're hearing due to the MS pipe only having 2 small resonators.

I should of done this when I first bought the car. It doesn't feel like the same car-ish ...feels more linear all the way through. To be entirely honest, I didn't expect much other than noise...I was grinning ear to ear when I felt my car come alive. The Evolve tune just arrive today, this combination will certainly compliment the xpipe. Macht Schnell have put together an incredible product for an equally incredible price. Also, the fit and finish is top tier. Just a regular guy giving a regular opinion. My car hauls ass now.

Cheers

I'd love to see some more videos if you have them. I currently have a Megan rear section with test pipes and it sounds great but I've been thinking about getting the MS x pipe to go catless. Is there any rasp once the car is warmed up?

kerrit · 05-09-2014, 05:41 PM

I have megan w/ test pipes and pretty much no drone. Thinking of going full catless but worried about drone.. OP can you post more vids?
