Philbee Posted 22December, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 22December, 2020 The vids ive posted above dont really highlight the difference as im a bit shy around the neighbours here at home, theres an elderly couple next door.... but to give you some further insight the MK exhaust is 5 times louder (?) & angrier sounding than my stock system i had. At full roar its echoes a mile away.... just what the doctor ordered! The cars stock exhaust felt (& sounded) way too docile for the RS badge stuck on the back. And I really love the angry tarmac rally car sound. And M&K delivers on that front big time. The car now drives differently as well, apart from the sound. The loud pedal is more responsive, the car feels more lively and has more a get up and go. As a result of the bewt sound I find myself downshifting more as I hit a corner and that helps my performance overall too. ( was a bit lazier with the quieter feedback). The better air flow overall has given the car an extra boost too i feel, it definitely feels a bit more powerful... 10hp maybe? I picked M&K over the SSI/Dansk soln as I read some conflicting reviews on 3.6 engines being restricted with SSIs that might be more tuned for 3.0 & 3.2 cars... As mine is a 3.6, i only heard good things for my setup with MK. I highly recommend for any G-body car if you want a bit more sound and more hotrod sound. But note, its loud and not a moderate update on the sound front!! 😉 Heres the site, select 'products' then 'M&K 911 products : http://www.rarlyl8.com/home.html My muffler is the MKM27 - 2 in, 1 out My headers are the "tuned long tube headers'.

Yes, I love it, definitely fantastic for me. It is a bit louder in the cabin at constant speed but is quite reasonable I feel, ok for longer trips. It’s when you put your foot down or downshift is when the sound jumps up a notch... MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you recommend M&K for 3.0 engines as well? The pricing is on the website for the muffler and the headers.... it cost me about $400 in taxes and the install was sub 1k. would I recommend? Yes, of course but just check with Brian as my headers were specifically (at least I think they were) for a 3.6, that is the primary and secondary collectors inner diameters were a little bigger than SSI headers which are definitely good for 3.0 & 3.2 as an alternate great set of headers.
