Sounds great thanks for sharing! For clarification do you have downpipes?

Nope, still have the stock downpipe. For sure will need one later but this setup sounds aggressive even stock.

Any chance you guys have any pictures of a Brooklyn gray with the carbon fiber and/or black tips installed? I'm between those 2 options but I don't have CF anywhere else and not sure how it'll look.

Give HR Motorsports AZ a call as well they are another MAD dealer in your area.

Thanks for that sound clip, I've been trying to find a LCI with stock everything except the exhaust. I'm definitely sold on the MAD now. Just gotta wait for the black tip option to come back in stock so I can order it.

Np, ya that was the same problem I had too noone had a stock sound clip.

This is a pretty good exhaust sounds very aggressive and tamed. Then when you start climbing the rpms it just sings.
Alone already sounds very good and a downpipe would complete it if your looking for more sound later.

Should have some audio/video within the next few days.

I went with AA Catted to the full mad exhaust. It does sound fantastic though!

When you record the video, could you please also record the dB reading? Would love to know how it compares to stock.

Damn! I’ve had my eye on this exhaust for a few months and was ready to pull the pull on it and it’s sold out for two months 😭

Why is it such a long lead time?

Made in China, that's why.

[CarGuy954]

I agree, either made in china or the stainless is sourced from china and fabricated here. Either way the mark up is getting high. I was a big fan of Mad when they released their exhaust due to a fair price point but, now that they are moving there profit margin higher I am skeptical. Alibaba and Aliexpress are still the best options. Inflation (high profit entitlement) is making this hobby less and less enjoyable.

Apologies for the extended lead time on this product. We underestimated the demand and sold out much quicker than expected. Rest assured, we're working diligently to replenish our stock and keep items available.

We have black tips arriving 5/21

This claim is entirely inaccurate. The price increase was not driven by profit motives; rather, it was necessitated by the additional shipping charges imposed by our carrier. After adjusting the box dimensions to minimize shipping damage, our carrier began charging us more for shipping. We are doing everything in our power to get these rates down and bring the price lower for you guys.

Our pricing strategy is transparent and focused on maintaining low margins. We base our prices on our final costs, which include shipping charges, and adjust them accordingly up and down.

I don't think it's "high profit entitlement". Companies have to do what they do to stay in business. It's difficult for them too.
I have a friend who likes to say: "There are no high prices, only low income".

[Cpatel]

I placed a pre-order but I forgot if I ordered the black or chrome tips. It doesn’t say in the emails I’ve received but the order says “MAD-5066 + 5066BR”

If that isn’t enough to determine which tips I’ve ordered, is there another way to verify?

Thanks 🙏

BR would be brushed.
