Default MBRP exhaust installed. Like it!!!

There is not a lot of information about the c6 MBRP exhaust, so I thought I'd share my experience. Just finished my install and went for a cruise. The car finally sounds like a Vette should! The system does drone a little in the 1600-1800 range, but nothing terrible. In fact, I like it. I found myself squeezing on the throttle every chance I get.

It could be my imagination, but I swear the car idles smoother now. It had a little shake to it before with the stock exhaust, but not so much now. Can't imagine why that would be, but it sure seems to be smoother.

The MBRP exhaust is a well built system - nicely polished, fit perfectly, and sounds nice. And the best part - it's about half the price of the others.

Good review.
I just did the Borla S-Type II axleback on my 2011 C6.
I noticed a similar thing at idle after the Borlas, I think the exhaust is flowing so much easier it doesn't have the exhaust pulsing at idle as much. The Borlas are louder at idle, but they are also smoother, maybe less back pressure?

Here are a few pics. I need to adjust the alignment just a bit, but I ran out of time and couldn't wait to go for a ride.

Pricing is even better than they publish on their website if you go to a retailer. Got mine for $645 - free shipping.

Good review. We install MBRP here for many different applications including trucks & SUVs. We are trying some of their systems for domestic cars now. We have great pricing on the line if any one is interested in trying a set.

Good job on the review!

Anyone else running the MBRP? I like the price and I think I like the dual tips instead of quads. Doesn't fill out the opening as well but when you have 2 exhaust pipes it seems silly to have double the tips. Especially like on the stock exhaust where you can see the one pipe come out of the muffler and Y into two tips

I got the square tips for my 2007 Z51 - I liked the look. They also look like they will fill out the opening.

I ran the MBRP on my Procharged Kooks/offroad X-pipe car. It was just too much sound for a daily driver, switched back to NPP. The system is much lighter than Corsa or any of the stock systems Ive held. If anyone wants a dual tip setup with a couple miles on it let me know. Still have the original box to ship it in.

I hope it isn't to loud - But a bit louder.

I gotta tell you this 2007 C6 makes less noise than my wife's new SUV I brought it to park a really great 1999 C5 that does not have a problem with 'shyness'.
