Perhaps it's the blind belief that since I am always hearing so many vibrations, I am to assume the build quality is cheap. Appreciate you clearing something up. |

There shouldn't be any vibration and really the only source for that has to be something regarding fitment. Happy to help if you were any closer..

No issues thus far, cranked down with good spacing, really tight to avoid anything moving or working loose.

It didn't seem like a fitment problem. clearances were checked and the midpipe itself was solid and not rocking around. Can't say for sure if it's actually hitting something unless it's on and revving. The thing is, it's the shaking sound that the pipes produce that maybe gives off the illusion it's not solid. Perhaps it's the connection of the midpipe to the stock box. clamps can only do so much, right? I'm also inclined to believe the stock box is producing some vibration sounds too. It could also be that these sounds are normal and I'm just expecting too much. The stock box is currently just a placeholder for when I get the meisterschaft titanium exhaust fitted. Definitely will be finding some method of welding the midpipe to the titanium exhaust. |

So I ran just the AA non res midpipe for 4 months and a slight vibration which I attributed to a less than stellar install. I also had a decent amount of rasp on start up and when in 1st gear so I was hesistant to get the AA axle back. I finally went for it and added the axle back and WOW! The shop adjusted the midpipe so no more vibration against the heat shield and there is absolutely no rasp and zero drone which I was amazed by. If anyone with just the midpipe has been hesistant I would definately say go for it.

Most of the time I let the car go through the cold start phase before driving off. I personally do not hear rasp All the videos I've found so far, catless DP and AA EL for M2C, just does not sound good too me, too much rasp. Could be install error or brand of DP My setup, 6mt, factory DP, AA EL resonated, factory exhaust What are your thoughts with a resonated DP such as the ones from AR? |

I am glad I am not the only one with this concern.
2020 M2C Stock DP AA EL Non Resonated AA Axleback During WOT and most times sounds great. But if I happen to have the car in sport, but have the transmission in the smoothest setting, part throttle sounds terrible, like fart can Civic terrible. Part throttle in efficient sounds like this nearly all the time. It is awful. I eliminated all the vibrations, as many other stated this was primarily alignment or heatshield related. Once I got that right, then I noticed the rasp more. (Sounds identical to the OP's first video). I have reduced this some: 1. I found that the small (unnecessary in my opinion)brace between the two exhaust exit pipe had broken on the passenger side, but it was next to impossible to see. I pried it far enough away from the side that had broken, and it eliminated some of the noise. 2. The torcas they supply are no able to really prevent any form of exhaust leak as evidenced by the sound and drips on the floor). I ended up snapping off a bolt while trying to get it tighter. Replaced bolts and used exhaust sealant. That reduced the exhaust leak. 3. Next to address; the ball clamps. These do leak as evidence by a slight exhaust leak sound, and the water/carbon drops on the floor. I'm not sure why they chose this option to join these pipes. I need to measure the bolts and older some grade 8 hardware before I attempt this. I'll also use the exhaust putty to help prevent this as well. |

Steph, your dps sounded great in your first vid. I can't wait to see how it sounds with the AA muffler. I wish there were more videos out there of dps that work with the AA EL.

Just another data point. I recently installed the Active Autowerke Equal Length Midpipe (Resonated) and Valved Rear Axle-Back Exhaust with stock downpipes on my M2C 6MT and have zero rasp or rattle under cold, warming up, or fully warmed up conditions. This exhaust combo sounds amazing!

Sorry about the delay on install DIY and subsequent comparison video: Damn covid finally got me last week, so really haven't done a thing in almost a week.
I will have everything posted up asap.
