MACH5 Performance or Innotech Performance Exhaust

[hbracer93]

Has anyone ever had any experience with these two companies? I have narrowed my exhaust search to these two companies but have never heard much about them. They are both ValveTronic exhaust systems, both resonated and both cost about $2500. I do not particularly care for the note of other exhausts on the market i.e. AWE, Milltek, Remus etc...I don't feel they are loud enough, I want to scare small children when I mash the gas. I know some are not going to care for the way these two exhausts sound and thats fine, I'm more interested in hearing if you have worked with these companies before.


MACH5












INNOTECH

Never heard of either of these companies - perhaps newcomers to the industry? That said, the Mach 5 exhaust just sounds cheap, but aside from the sharp pops, the IPE is actually pretty badass. Curious about drone, though. Do they mention anything about no-drone on their websites? I know AWE guarantees a drone-free exhaust, and I would highly recommend buying an exhaust that won't drone on the highway. Trust me - it'll drive you and your passengers insane.

pricing for either one of them?

[hbracer93]

^its in the OP. But mach5 is $2550 plus $750 for the down pipe. Innotech is $2500, and I'm still waiting on a down pipe price.

i see... well the ipe sounds way better imo

Of the two, I like the IPE better. However, both are way to loud for the streets IMO. Maybe in Guam they don't care about waking up the entire neighborhood or offending people walking down the street or grabbing a bite at an open-air cafe. Just rude to drive that with the valves open in a residential or downtown area. If I heard that coming I would expect to see a riced out Civic with neon under lighting.

My car is in San Diego. I plan to terrorize downtown on the regular.

But I do think I'm leaning towards the IPe. They have burnt titanium tips.

Have you looked at Bull-X?

I see a fix-it ticket in your future. lol.

Nah, my car is never registered in the same state that I operate it in. But that's the plus side of being valved. I'll just hit the switch when I get pulled over. Haha

Is that video of a full system? I'm guessing non-resonated. I found a video of a red sport back and it was really quite, maybe it was just the catback.

That video is non-resonated with stock downpipe. We've installed every configuration at our Orange County location, so can offer some insight on the sound profiles. In addition, we have around half a dozen customers in the SoCal area with them installed. Currently we do have a few non-resonated systems in stock with no lead time.

This one doesn't sound nearly as loud as the video you shared.

That was an early test exhaust that differs largely from the "EGO-X" production exhaust. Besides using different mufflers, you will notice that the exhaust in that video has a center resonator (which the EGO-X systems do not offer).

Ah I see. That makes a lot of sense. I figured something had to be different. I would like to see different video of the exhaust to really tell, because the bull-x was what I was considering first before I saw these other two. It would have to be a video of it not indoors or on a dyno, like some real world application.
