Update from VRSF, single mid for M2C

m20e3087 · 10-23-2019, 11:59 AM

Reached out to VRSF, and they said "We haven't tested it on the M2C yet. We have a few projects we're working on now but we should have one available within the next few months."

Unless it's 500 bucks or cheaper seems like the AA pipe is the way to go for 899

Saw that as well. It looks like they lowered the price to compete. Most likely it will be the same price as M3/M4.

I've heard the AA midpipe has fitment issues and can leak where it connects to the factory exhaust. Not sure if this is true or if VSRF would be any better though.

I installed AA midpipe on friends car last weekend and fitment is good. I’m sure it’s more of an installer issue than a AA issue.

I know and have seen ppl with AA MP without any leakage issue. Only known complaint is the rattling sound from the brace area. For our M2C the AA brace is a must IMO. If I end up buying one from VRSF and if they don't have brace for it, I will order the AA brace.

Was the rear section stock? You still have to cut and they provide clamps with the midpipe correct? How does it sound, much louder than stock?

Crap I just ordered one from X-PH and chose the no brace option since their website said M2C already has a brace, don't want a rattle. Should I have selected the optional brace?

I would, the brace that comes with our car won't clear unless your use washer or something. Let us know how it sounds.

For the M2c brace comes with the midpipe. Dont need to order it extra like on the M3/M4's.

You mean the AA kit for M2C midpipe comes with their aftermarket brace at no extra cost?

Hard to know how it sounds by itself compared to stock because I added the Remus Sport at the same time. But the "weed wacker" sound is definitely gone... the overall tone of the exhaust is much deeper and "smoother" if that makes any sense. Im very happy with it. No drone at all. I was impressed with the overall quality of the part.

If anyone is running AA mid with VRSF or cat-less DP with stock box, please let us know your thoughts on sound.
