I ordered the new MBRP axle back kit for my wife's '12 MCA and it took about 3 weeks from date of order to receive the actual "correct" kit. first off, i did order the cheaper of the two kits (not stainless) seeing how i don't keep vehicles long enough to actually need stainless because within 2 years i will bet we won't have this car anyway. let me just say, if you order this kit, don't be surprised that it looks CHEAP! this is basically 2 universal turbo mufflers with sections of pipe, yes you read that correctly, sections of pipe welded to the front of the mufflers. there is no mandrel bent pipe anywhere on this system. basically this is by far the cheapest axle back on the market, it's under $300 at most online retailers. but i bought it based on the sound clips on MBRP's website. after looking at it, i am sending this kit back for a refund. i don't think the welds that are on the pipes will last 2 weeks, let alone 2 years. very poor quality. so now...
instead of buying the high dollar axle back kits that are out there, i have a friend who can do mandrel bends and he told me he'd install (weld) any mufflers i wanted with tips for $300. so my question to you guys is this. which mufflers do you prefer on the V6? do you like a turbo style muffler or a round bullet style muffler? i don't want a RICE sound but i know it won't sound like a V8 either. so throw out your opinions. right now my main choices are Borla, Magnaflow or Bassani.
