Agreed, ACM did a great job on my OEM Mod Exhaust. No drone, sounds perfect.

Definitely goto ACM and hear it in person. I was on the fence last Friday, that is until I heard a customer leaving with his newly modded exhaust. I made an appointment right there and then.

I'm getting mine installed at ACM tomorrow, feel free to come check it out. If you've never heard of them they are located in North Jersey and are a great group of guys. Very professional work, and very accommodating when it comes to scheduling - I highly recommend them.

Another happy customer here. They don't always have a car with the modded exhaust around so I'd recommend you take kthxbye up on his offer and hear it in person. Definitely happy I went this route and they're great guys.

Jealous.

The only shop in the Greater Toronto Area I've come across that is doing this is charging $565.

I'm sure you could set up some sort of Core Swap with ACM. Have them ship you a modded unit and you when you get it you ship your stock unit back

Too high. $400-425 tops.

Is it generally accepted that the ideal way to do this is to keep the pipe geometry but remove the perforated pipes and stuffing?

I was one of the first people to jump on the OEM mod so I only had the perforated parts covered. but if you have a shop do it then remove the perforated part or you can do the ACM way. The original was covering or removing the perforated parts.

I didn't get a chance to shoot a clip yet, but it sounds amazing guys. It is definitely something you need to hear in person - feel free to hit me up, I'd be happy to meet up with any forum member and take them for a spin. The car will be at the Cherry Hill Mall meet next Sunday (see the NJ regional forum)

Alex I think you mentioned having a sound/video clip, if you do post it up



As far as other shops, I am sure you can get it done cheaper at a random exhaust shop, but, personally I would never go that route just to save $100 because:
  • I don't want to have to deal with explaining the steps of the mod
  • I don't want to risk that a shop who has never done this will make a mistake
  • I don't believe that joe schmo's shop on the corner will treat my car with respect as if it were one of their own vehicles
  • I don't believe that a random shop would stand behind the product if something were to go wrong with the mod down the road
