1.5T Looking for feedback on the Blox Racing exhaust for Sedan/Hatchbacks

[ryanfk7]

I can't believe the part that connects to the front pipe is not reduced or made smaller like just about all the other exhausts I've seen. This is EXCELLENT! Not keen on the muffler size since it may not muffle much and it sticking out but otherwise, the piping bends and not being reduced is really, REALLY good. I like it a lot. Way to go!

It actually does slightly, and I mean slightly, taper down to the flange where it connects to the front pipe. I haven’t used calipers to measure but I’d say it goes from 3” down to maybe ~2.8-2.9” to leave room for the bolts! I was never one for an obnoxious exhaust, I think the muffler Blox used is just right for my preferences! It definitely got that lower pitch like most exhaust systems do after a few hundred miles.

Have you had a shop cut them yet???

I have not had time to get around to it yet, shooting for end of September or maybe just wait until the spring! It’s honestly grown on me a little more than when I first put it on, to the point where I’d rather get some other things done first before I do that!

I'm seriously looking at buying this but, im on lowering springs... does the muffler/ tip hang down very low? Like to the point where you worry about it?

What lowering springs/how much of a drop do you have? I do spirited drives on some bad backroads and my area is known for some of the worst roads including some decent potholes which sometimes you just can’t avoid...and I just looked under today and no scrapes at all. The last connection point/flange is actually slightly lower than the muffler/tip so if anything that would be the point of contact ‍

I bought this exhaust a few weeks ago and noticed that I have some slight cabin vibration under acceleration. Did you experience this too? I was wondering if this was because of the misplacement of the hanger near the resonator

I have the 27WON rear motor mount so I cannot confirm this as I already have A LOT of cabin vibration. Im actually going to be installing the OEM mount for winter and was planning on doing it sometime this week. Will let ya know what I find

How long ago did you install the RMM?

The vibration settled down a LOT after I put some miles on it, I'd guess around 500.

I have around 3k on it. It’s definitely settled down since originally putting it on. To put it in perspective a little, I have the BLOX catback exhaust which has a decent grumble and I can’t even hear it over the NVH of the mount.

I have the LX so maybe I was already used to a lot of NVH when it was stock! lol

Thanks man! I’ve been wondering about it since the installation. I just want to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong. Also, did you put the metal bracket back on after installing your exhaust?

I did not, that metal bracket is just for saving the underside from getting beat. But I have yet to bottom out and will probably never lower it so I’m not worried! Update: will probably install OEM mount today and take it for a test. Will post findings either tonight or tomorrow

So I’ve had the stock mount installed for 2 days now. I have not heard any vibration from it inside the cabin. How did you pair the BLOX to the stock front pipe? Or do you have an aftermarket front pipe?

My Blox Exhaust just came in the mail the other day. Thanks for the info.

I installed mine last week, so far I have experienced minimum vibration in the cabin but it doesn’t bother me.

I’ve just installed Megan Racing catless downpipe and front pipe and now I DEFINITELY have some cabin vibration.
