    2. A new Modern Performance single exit rear.

    Its a complete 3'' system in stainless steel. Single resonator with muffler.
    $500 plus shipping

    I am tired of my SEE and want to part ways with it.

    Are there any advantages of a stainless steel system as opposed to a raw steel system?

    I noticed the MPX has another piece.

    My rear bumper is rolled so the outlets really don't matter, but it looks like the MPX will look better with the rolled bumper because of the muffler.

    Sound really doesn't matter to me.

    So, what do you guys think?

    :thanks:

    definetly exhaust depot. imo/ime the mpx one sounds awful and fitment is an issue. i would never buy the mpx just because i think it makes the car sound like a honda. some like that sound, personally i think it's awful. the ed exhaust has good fitment and an extra support so that it's not pulling down on the turbo. much better imo.

    Probably the muffler gives it that sound.

    Extra support? They both have two hangars as I can see.

    If you can get away with running no cat, I'd go with the $400 one...but that's simply because I am a cheap neon owner.

    One more thing to think about. The ED one is probably going to be alot louder. Seeing as it has no resonators or muffler...if that is going to be an issue with your local PD, you may want to go with the MPx one.

    No emmisions out here. I currently have a SEE with resonator no CAT. And that thing is loud! Specially when its coming out the drivers side.

    Still not as loud as my 96 Neon ACR with no cat and 2.5 '' piping with AFX longtube header!

    Leaning towards the ED!

    MPx just because I've seen and heard one in person, the quality is awesome, and the fact that you might be able to order a dual tip rear section in the future. I know Modern sells the canister section by itself for those who want to switch from the dual tip to the canister. I'm sure they can do it the other way as well.

    I don't see where the extra support is at on the ED vs the MPX. They both have a flex section and only clearly mount to the O2 housing and the (2) exhaust hangers.

    There's no fitment issues with the MPx, its all on the installer. My wife has the 3" TBE MPX exhaust (dual tip rear section) and there are no fitment issues.

    I plan on keeping my 3'' 02 housing. 02 housings are universal right? So I won't have problems with my unknown 3'' 02 housing mating up with the MPX?

    I posted this on 2gn.org and they are telling me to get the MPX mainly due to the fact its stainless and won't rust. Kansas really doesn't get that bad of weather. (Excluding last year) I really don't want an exhaust that will rust over time you know.

    Thanks guys for your input, helps alot!

    Hahaha! Is that your only reasoning? I mean $140 or so difference isn't too bad I guess. The ED is more free flowing as you can see. If I got the MPX it would not have the CAT option. (More money)

    I searched and found!

    Picts?

    Stainless?

    I was thinking about just taking it up to an exhaust shop and having them reroute my SEE to the rear. I am not happy with the ED torca/accuseal clamps. They allow too much lateral movement. If there is a way to fix that without welding I would be down. The ED rear single exit system seems totally different though.

    I also emailed ED about their piping being raw steel...

    He responded:

    And here is my stock piping after 4.5years...

    from what i have heard, the stock piping is stainless steel, but it sure doesn't seem like it.. when i took mine off, it wasn't really rusted, but it looked like that.. it was more just nasty looking.

    going with the ED exhaust wouldnt be a bad idea.. it will hold up for a while, but then it will start to eventually corrode and look like poop.

    i really like my exhaust (INJEN catback) 3" stainless steel. got it for 300$ and picked it up.

    i might end up going with a single exit or axle dump though.

    i like that MPx exhaust, but i don't think i would like the sound of a fart can muffler on an srt.

    i like the plain 'tip' on the back and not the honda look of a fart can.

    what are you looking for with the exhaust? power? noise levels? emissions friendly? etc.

    you could go with a 15$ after the DP dump, or buy some SS piping for 150$ or so and have a shop make a side exit or rear axle dump.

    im just saying i don't like fart can mufflers nor the look of them.. never heard a single exit MPx.

    im just saying i don't think i would like the sound of an srt4 exhaust that has a fart can on it.. not saying that it will sound like the neighborhood civic or anything.
