welp....Any particular reason you chose the Armytrix Catback system over others?
- I needed something that had stock cold start volume since I leave at 4:30am to work in a neighborhood full of Karen's [also don't like waking up my household, one bedroom is above the garage]. Per the large muffler design; I took a chance and pleased to say that cold start and comfort is identical to OEM. (more on Sport mode below)
- I wanted something that looked as OEM as possible. I really wanted to go with AWE Touring with resonator, but I hated how you could see the mufflers under the bumper. FI (dual) Exhaust and Akrapovic was another option for my list, but they were a full $1,000+ more than Armytrix. I was real close in pulling the trigger on Remark as people, but i do not like the Blue tips. That left me with Armytrix (ordered with black tips)
I suppose it comes down to that I was used to my BMW M2 which had a Dinan exhaust and was much louder [i got complaints about morning starts all the time with that car ? ]. I also had a ND Miata RF with a Borla system, it wasn't loud, but with the top down, i could enjoy the exhaust note.
This muffler is probably a better option with catless downpipe; less "raspier" tone but a little louder than stock. I don't care for more power so I don't want to mess with aftermarket Cats.
For now, it's fine for me, but a little bit of me wishes I had ordered Remark exhaust [per the muffler design it appears to have a quieter cold start compared to HKS or something similar, but have a louder sport mode than Armytrix as the Valved side is essentially a straight pipe], it's just those blue tips i disliked.
