Rev9 Exhaust

I have exhaust wise: Rev9 w/200 cell cat, MagnaFlow res, oem catback otherwise. Yes it's pretty quiet. Anything other than a oem catback is obnoxiously loud and drones. Never had that with my old speed3 exhaust setup I meant. Why can't this exhaust sound sexy. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

My set up along with others sound great with zero drone. Just any old muffler and resonator won’t do the trick. There’s tons of info on this on the forum if you search

Don't forget about the DSG sharts.

Don't Just search me! :p Obviously I've don't that and been on YouTube. They all sound the same. Tractor on roids doesn't sound good to me.[emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

Not the case at all, but hey to each their own who am I to judge what you think my car sounds like.

I agree, catless non resonated or inadequate resonator equipped mk7 sound terrible.

Update: I was bored scrolling through the FB page and found this for sale ad. These are 409 Stainless and rust. Hence part of the reason it’s cheap, they used cheap materials

Not sure where that guy is located, but up here in the salt belt 300 series will show rust/corrosion by the end of one winter.

It does hold up better than 400 series (obviously) but there's no winning against salt...hence why I'll probably buy the rev 9 and add a vibrant resonator.

This! I am so let down by the terrible exhaust note of these cars. There’s no reason they should sound this bad. Plenty of other 2.0 and smaller turbo fours hat sound waaaaaay better. My 1.6 liter turbo Fiesta ST sounded great. THe 1.4 liter in the Fiat 500, the 1.5 liter turbo Civic sounds way better as well. It’s actually frustrating putting all this money into making your car look good and blow the doors off a lot of metal on the street only to sound like a John Deer. The halfway decent sounding exhausts are a small fortune for what is basically a sound mod and add very little to the bang for your buck proposition. Don’t know why it’s so hard to design a good sounding exhaust that I don’t have to get a second mortgage to afford.

I’m originally from Ohio and real 304L doesn’t corrode. For it to rust you’d have to way over heat it welding and burn the alloys out of it in the heat effected zone & or use improper filler material.

Sorry but that's wrong.

304SS absolutely corrodes in saline environments.

316SS withstands salt, but due to cost most people are not building exhausts from 316.

I grew up working in machine shops, and I’ve spent the last seven years in aviation where corrosion is prohibited. I can assure you three series Stainless does not rust. Find me one reputable source that says otherwise.

If it's made from the same "304" as their down pipe I'd avoid it.

DP started off great, showed mild corrosion after the first winter, but after the second one it was completely rusted, to the point of little flakes coming off.

I'll still disagree with Jake about 304 showing mild corrosion in saline environments, but I certainly won't disagree about Rev 9 using lower grade stainless and calling it 304.

Looks like billy boat clone but with 2 smaller resonators. Should sound nicer and quieter then first version.

My ebay dp has gone through a winter and is going on 2 years old, it doesn't have any rust or corrosion on it what so ever. And they salt the roads here.
