So i got my car back from Motorsport Essentials today after they installed my @2XS Twin DP and remove the mid-pipe resonator
One Word.... WOW!
Firstly the responsiveness is awesome. I experience improved responsiveness when i installed a Stage 1 Cobb AP map, but coupled with Troy's DP, power comes on sooner and smoother. Such a difference and a joy to drive
The sound is perfect for what I'm looking for. Its deeper and an provides an obvious grunt. As most of you have read, on cold starts it is loud and obnoxious (enough to make you laugh), but once warm and when driving and cruising you hardly notice that anything has been done. No drone at all. IMO the GenII is pretty sound proofed as it is, but even with open windows its a comfortable sound
On power and downshift, it provides a decent amount of grin-giving ear candy... enough to let everyone know, the car isn't a Mazda 3 MaxxSport!

I cannot thank Troy @2XS enough for his customer service and communication, he has always been available to answer any questions and what i call noob queries. He even made time to ring and call my installer to give them some hints and advice. Once again, i appreciate it
All in all, I am happy with the money spent and the what the DP provides on delivery of power and sound, coupled with the res delete.
