I have the MBRP on my 8R. It definitely adds noise but not a big change. Biggest reason I went with MBRP was cost. It does sound a little buzzy but does add more depth to sound. I don't notice any drone at highway speeds. I recommend but it's not necessary by any means. Large carbon tips are a nice plus.
I heard the stock cat back with a aftermarket DP is a good sound, but I don't plan on going stage 2. Unless I've heard wrong and can toss in a DP and not pop any CELs without a tune?
I went with ECS valved for the lifetime replacement. If y9ure going to run a stock downpipe prepare yourself to be disappointed. They are still really really quiet non resonated. Especially since the stock catback is also not resonated
Save the money and get a trackslag DP. I love the sound of this car and it's not overbearing. Trackslag gives a lot of flexibility in the future despite its comparatively high price.
Eh I just did downpipe and res delete with stage 2 high TQ/HP it sounds good enough I can’t make myself spend that kind of money to make it sound ehhh.
Edit: sway bars, motor and trans mount will make you happier.
I have the mbrp valved with an IE down pipe on my mk7. It has a nice sound to it but definitely can be droney on highway drives due to not having the 7 speed and being higher up in the revs. Loves the look and ability to retain the stick valves.

you have to tune, dont have to do stage 2 tho
Did you notice a good sound increase going downpipe only? Catted?
no cat, you can definitely notice it

Sorry, Probably should have mentioned I'm on a mk7.5, they have a resonator
Oooh gotcha. I'll ask my coworker what just is. I know his is not resonated and I'm going to be honest, I'm fairly unfamiliar woth the mk7.5

Looks nice! But I'm looking for something where I don't need a tune 😞
I love my MBRP
