VM2 off and stock back on, performance gains/loss are very noticeable..
The VM2 really smoothed out the power through the rev range, as well as letting boost come on quicker. It is nice to have the stock exhaust back on just so I'm not so loud driving around town. Hopefully the MTM I'm checking out on Wednesday will show the same performance gains with manners more towards the stock end of the spectrum.

I really doubt that it will be the same. Just the difference in design.

Do you have the resonated or non-resonated VM2?

Resonated tips, the drone between idle and 3K is what I hate..
The around town rpm's, light to mild throttle, is very droning, not really resonating, just not worthy of a $40K car IMHO. There is no denying the performance gains and the wide open throttle sound is great. It is just not my taste, the positives don't out weigh the negatives.

one thing though, you will never know what it feels like to drive through our metro area tunnels blaring out, "WHAAAAAAAAAA, , WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
It's puts such a big smile on my face

anyway, looks like you're going mtm all the way around. that's cool too. call gary bossert. maybe i'll just go with you to hang out at his place.
