MBRP or el cheapo 5 inch exhaust?
Whats the difference between MBRP and the cheapest 5 inch setups? I want something that has a good deep sound to it.

I have been involved with two 5" MBRP systems. Both kits had incorrect parts in it. The first kit was mine and I was able to make it work but a friend that also had problems wasn't so lucky. MBRP said they would send the correct parts immediately through UPS, they never showed up.
I am not sure if I would buy their system again for a pickup. I have their snowmobile exhaust on two sleds and they work good though.

I have installed several exhaust systems for my freinds and family, the MBRP fit like a glove, everytime. Some of the others?????Well you get what you pay for.

I straight piped mine so I can't say in personal experience. But looking at different kits before my muffler/resonator delete I saw some CHEAP stuff. Like $290 or something, but was skeptical on the quality, the installation, as in will I have to run 30 minutes into town to try and find part "X" to make it work. The mbrp just looked better to and I have read about a lot of happy customers here. Like Mcmopar said, "you get what you pay for". Which is mostly true.....unless your talking about new Cadillacs....

I had the same problem with a grandrock kit,first they sent the wrong kit entirely!! After a month of waiting again,they sent the right kit but without an essential piece of pipe,I had to make something and buy a few clamps on top of it as well.It wasnt cheap to begin with,exhaust is nice though,but Ill never deal with them again.Id get one of rip rooks systems if I was doing an exhaust again,nothing bad to hear about that guy
