Then there are the other guys who don't need the absolute lowest dB exhaust sytem, which is the CSGxMXP TOURING86 competition exhaust. For those seeking a competitive exhaust system, clean exhaust note, good aerodynamics characteristics, nice looking tips, great adjustability to a variety of bumper setups, and a strong price point. The dB output is not a huge concern for these users, however, the dB output has been defined as very acceptable and not loud at all. |

I want my car to remain quiet. But if I'm only giving up a couple of dB I might go for the MPX setup considering it's about half the cost. |

Is this a full 2.5" ID setup? Any power gained over the stock catback, with a header installed?

Gains are also there in loudness, so one should double check going 3" route, IF car's exhaust will stay still within tolerable loudness levels for those extra .. hmm, 5whp?

I want an exhaust that will be honestly quiet while not causing more restriction than stock, but being able to put up with the abuse of a header and front pipe. We've all heard how bad the stock exhaust is with a header and free flowing front pipe. I highly doubt there will be any noticeable power gain from this, though. |

We do have some plans in the future to acquire a special dB meter for quantitative comparison of the two exhausts, but please keep in mind, the CSGxMXP TOURING86 competition exhaust was never developed or commissioned to be a sub-90dB unit. Quote:

CSG David: two extra questions:
- How tolerable are cold starts with this (yes, i know cold starts can be tuned out in ecu tune, but still, interesting to know) - What is it's ground clearance compared to stock? (saw many aftermarket exhausts at least in pics having much lower then stock hanged pipe portion that goes below rear axle. Don't want even slight increase of scraping on occasions when i have to drive/park over kerb again given low even as stock car height :/ ) |

2. We have not had issues and the beauty of MXP is that they did put effort into making sure clearance was perfect for us (our requirements are borderline OCD which sometimes drives many people crazy). Most of our clients generally run lower. Our car sits at near OEM height due to the APR body aero to clear stupid drain dips, ramps, and speed bumps. Our car is generally used for the everything test and we have ran this car to ultra slammed at one point too (locals know). |
