Sound clip: Secondary cat / res delete
Exhaust threads have been popping up left and right lately. "What does xyz setup sound like?" Or, "I just installed xyz but I don't have a sound clip... trust me though it's great."
In an effort to curb some of the discussion, here is a post on my setup that I'll preach until I am blue in the face.
Mikes h-pipe replacing secondary cats with straight pipes in place of resonator. Also have the EC v5 tune
Pros: Louder. No Drone. No CEL headaches. Quiet idle, amazing pure AMG sound under light acceleration, angry screaming wide open.
Cons: None. Seriously, none.
**Disclaimer** This was shot with a Canon PowerShot SX120 camera. In other words, its a little old, spent some time in Afghanistan, and not the best thing on the market. However, I do have a GoPro and am working on an external mic setup for that, so, once I have all the bits and pieces for it I'll shoot a new video and spend some more time on this. This will work for the time being.
Video notes
Video 1: Car set to M w/ traction in sport. Revs 1500, 2500, and 4000. The launch I loaded up to 1500 and ripped it. It might sound like an over-rev but it wasn't, the tires were regaining traction causing fluctuations in RPMs. Honestly, I know I slid a little bit but the way the car hammered me back felt like a mid 11 pass in a quarter.
Video 2: Car set to M w/ traction off. I tried to get the downshift blip here... Trust me, I will do better for you guys. Then a quick tiny tiny burnout to finish it off.
If you're in a rush, start at 30 seconds
Overall, this is just an initial posting on this. Like I said, I will set myself up with a quality external mic and go for a better cruise. The blip was a big miss here and obviously pulling back into my driveway I got the loud snap I wanted. Happens great from 2nd to 1st.

Grab one of the packs of accessories off of Amazon, that's what I did. You could also individually buy one of the suction cup mounts, they all are rated pretty good. You can check comments, and most of the time there's someone in there saying they went 100+ and had no issues. I used a non-branded one from the accessories pack for this video:
I've had it on Jeeps for off-roading and a boat and have had no issues with it moving.
