MHP V3 CDT w/ LT Headers and 3" catless mids

After sitting in the garage for three months, it was time to get the MHP LT headers and 3" catless mids installed.

Before the headers could go on, I got the MHP V3 CDT. Andy at MHP has by far the best customer service I've seen. He's always available, phone, email, text.....the man never sleeps!

The install was about as easy as it could have been, about 5 hours. If anyone in the Seattle area needs a good tech, PM me.

Instead of trying to describe the sound, I hope to get a cold start video loaded tomorrow...should be about 30 in the AM. I still have my winter tires on, so a more thorough review will have to wait a few months, but the sound is simply intoxicating...no regrets skipping the cats!

Now let's get those cams!!

OK...here's the link. FYI, this was the second start of the AM. The first exceeded the recording ability of my iphone! I'll try again in a few hours with the iphone a bit further away....

You can google modernhorsepower and Andy's contact info is on the homepage.

No inspections in WA state afaik. If it becomes necessary, i'll just put in some cats later..

Typically factory freaks push out a bit of smoke at start up when they have no cats? I think!

You saw white smoke from condensation burning up.

Thanks James..that first cold start, with the door open....I thought a grenade had been thrown in my garage and something on the car had surely broken! But, all was good after a few seconds...

There is a noticeable rumble at idle, but the increased volume isn't that noticeable until you crack the throttle above about 2K rpm. Then it's something else entirely different. With the weather the way it is now, and still having my winter tires on, I've yet to run it to redline...but looking forward to it!

***UPDATED VIDEO***

I moved the iphone back just enough to not overwhelm the mic. Was only about 50 degrees all night, but cold enough!

Going down the 1/4 this Saturday, weather dependent. I'll give more info after that, plus some dyno info to compare with the 1/4. Driving fine since the install with no issues or CELs. Just insane loudness at wot!
