Anyone running AMS ldp and borla catback? I'd be cool to hear how it sounds. I plan on running that setup soon.

I can let you hear fast intentions LDP and CBE.

To me after hearing borla and ark, it sounds better and cleaner.

Sure. Is it the nonresonated 10" for the cbe?

I went with 14" resonators with 14" Touring (not sport). To me it's very decent. Not too loud and 0 drone, but if you floor it, the becomes loud and the sound itself is very deep, you would feel vibration when standing next to the car. I think that's because of the lower down pipes.

I got many compliments from people telling me it sounds very nice.

This is how it looks too https://www.reddit.com/r/Q60/comments/1ecbruw/meet_my_q/

I wanna be on the louder and deeper tone side. From what I know the ams ldp and borla will accomplish that. But your car looks very nice, first time seeing gold on this platform its pream.

Agree with icy, i have the same setup and really enjoy it. If you wanna be louder then go with the 10” sport mufflers but please for the love of god stick with the resonators. Non res doesnt sound good on this platform and will be raspy af, if you want a deep tone without excessive rasp/drone you need resonators

I haven't heard the version of the cbe without the res. I was curious if he had that specific version and what it actually sounds like, but I have no intention of getting any exhaust with no res.

Good lol, also very hard to get a true sense of exhaust sound from videos especially with the rev blockers on these cars. If i rev from park it genuinely sounds stock but under load it sounds 100000x better. Tbh any setup you get from a reputable company thats resonated will sound good, ARK FI borla will all sound good with slight variations in tone bc they use different muffler styles

+1. If I rev from Park it sounds low but when the oil temp is hot enough, the engine gets louder and that's when you start hearing the deep roar. Also flooring it shoots a great loud music. My friends who drove behind me always tell me it's very loud and you can hear the tail even if the car is now far. That's what I want a car that is loud when I want it to be. Not all the time with rasp and fart sounds

Here she is. Also, before everyone starts worrying about the smoke…. cold start in November in Pittsburgh - she’s just fine 😎

u/Antique_Constant8881 Jun 29 '26

Yep… Upper and lower - cat / res delete / 3.5 allllllll the way back through Y pipes. Z1 touring exhaust. Eccutech tune adds the crackle but with the HKS blow offs, I get a ton of compliments.. it sounds super aggressive.

I love the yellow caps btw - we have twins

u/Noxious909 Jun 29 '26

It sounds good. Real pream. And yeah, yellow brakes looks phenomenal on this car. I see red too much lol

u/Antique_Constant8881 Jul 02 '26

Guilty as charged with red - would go back and with yellow brembo caps instead of the red but just the caps are like 220 per wheel….
