Hey everyone,
I got the Solo Performance Catback system about a few weeks ago (QR-REZ w/ Mach Shorty) and uploaded a video of the exhaust sound. I decided I wanted something a little louder but after some researching I decided I didn't want to get the HFC. So, I got the MR-REZ instead. I decided to upload videos of the catback with both the QR and MR resonator so anyone who's considering buying one can hear the difference between the two (I listened to the one's Solo uploaded but it was still a bit hard to tell which one I wanted). I'm going to be selling the QR rez so if anyone is interested in buying one watch the for sale section... I'll be posting it soon.
Anyways here's the vids, hope you guys like them
QR:
I prefer the sound with the resonator on but they both sound pretty good.
First video - "Transfer complete." I hate that thing, LOL.
+1 sounds more throaty with rsonator

The solo resonators are amazing designs. Free flowing yet able to change pitch and volume without hindering performance at all. My fav is QR and long Mach. You should try QR with no muffler. Deep and low as hell but freakin loud.

I don't know if you guys noticed, but the "No resonator" vid was open cat. No muffler whatsoever...
The pitch doesn't change much from QR to MR, it just gets louder and very slightly raspier.
I have an open cat video on my channel.
Either way, I love my Solo system, so smooth and awesome.

Oops yeah I guess I should have mentioned the no resonator video was open cat... It says it in the video description but I guess people aren't gonna see that if they're just watching from the embedded video.
And I agree the Solo system is awesome! Only complaint I have is the way the QR resonator is designed there's not enough room to get a socket wrench to fit to tighten the bolts on to the cat. I had to use a freaking box wrench to put it on and take it off. The exhaust system sounds amazing though and I can feel a tiny bit of power increase even without the HFC.

I just install the QR resonator and the sound is great. I think the test pipe was not adding any hp with the original resonator on, the car feels light.

I got the MR-resonator/Long Mach combo and it's just beautiful! Sounds decent when cold though a little raspy (it's a really strange sound at -30c or below). But drive around for half an hour and it just gets better and better. Once you get some decent carbon build-up throughout the system it will take on a whole new personality.

Congrats on a great purchase!

Thanks, it really made a difference on sound and performance.
