As some may be familiar from another thread, I just purchased one of 12 of the first batch of the MAPerformance Street exhaust with blue tips. Package should be arriving tomorrow and I'm hoping I have time to throw it on. Otherwise it'll be Sunday.
There is not much info on this exhaust out there yet other than a short revving in place sound clip from MAPerformance which sounds mean and different in a very good way. I am however familiar with MAPerformance coming from a 16 WRX and on the Subaru forums people loved their products and raved about their exhaust for that car. They seem to build small batch exhausts with high quality.
When I reached out to MAPerformance to find out more information about their product, as an early adapter I naturally had a lot of questions that traditional research wasn't going to answer. My biggest concerns where mainly sound and drone, and just overall who there target audience was. I basically explained to them that now as a father of 2 my needs have changed and matured. Wanted louder and meaner for sure but not in your face loud. And definitely virtually no drone. This is a car that I will put the family in and go out for the day.
To my surprise the actual head designer Daelen actually called me and had a great conversation. Daelen is a super intelligent guy who seems to know his stuff. He listened closely to my concerns and explained that he made this exhaust to fit exactly what I'm looking for. There is a race option for those who want more. I am from the error of late 90's Japanese cars and those distinct sounds which I am partial to and it seems Daelen from MAPerformance is as well and that is the sound he was aiming for. I am blown away by the customer service of that place with this guy taking the time to talk to me and put my concerns about their exhaust to rest.
Hope any of this helps anyone interested. My exhaust hopefully will be here on time and I'll give my first impressions once it arrives as far as quality and feel goes.
