DCT = win.

Sounds good, but too loud for my taste as a DD.

I havea theory that that the dct guys have louder and more modified exhausts because the cars are basically autos/boring

The car sounds loud/good/like a mustang

Sorry just my opinion

Holy cow.... currently running this setup now. Only had 30 mins to drive the car and all I can say is it's ridiculously loud! Even louder than the video seems.

Will drive like this for a week or 2 and decide if I'll switch to the Megan exhaust. And yes this setup is pretty raspy from 3500 to 4500 rpm. Cheap though ($700 total haha)

How does having a DCT make it louder and more modified?

It is much louder than the video, thats for sure. 3500-4500 rasp? What is your Modification style?

Same as yours.

Idle - 2500 rpm: About same as OEM exhaust mod, although slightly louder
3500 - 4500 rpm: Lots and lots of rasp
Above 4500 rpm, now with BPM stage 2: Ridiculously loud and you'll be going way too fast regardless of what gear you're in.

Like I said, I'm going to keep trying this setup, while keeping an eye out on where to get a Megan exhaust.

Yep, Mike Benvo tuned my car at around midnight EST haha. Want to put some more miles on the car before doing a complete review of BPM2 and exhaust setup.

Forget about another written review, I want to get a ride and feel it in person. I have a strong feeling I will end up with Mike's stage 2 tune in the very near future.

I am going to really listen between the 3500-4500 range tomorrow and see. Maybe I am missing it or not caring enough.

Welcome to the BPM Stage 2 life!!!! I hopefully have a buddy joining soon.
