Glad to see they have another name.
In Feb I ordered the headers and Cat back exhuast from them. Hopefully as a whole unit everything should sound good.
I was always told there the best bang for the buck. I don't want to spend 400$ on headers.
When I get back in May I'll install and let everyone know how there're doing.

I've now officially heard of one person, out of a few dozen, that doesn't like their Moteria exhaust.
You be the judge.

I owned the Motoria exhaust for a brief period so I'll give you my opinion. The price was unbeatable and the quality of the stainless steel and welds is top notch. Much better than you could expect for the price, in my opinion. The reason why it was only on my car for about three months was because it was WAY TOO LOUD!!! But I learned my lesson and will not buy an exhaust system that has a straight through can type of muffler.

I didn't notice much difference in the interior sound level with the silencer in place. Besides, why buy the exhaust in the first place if you are going to negate the improvement in performance by plugging it with a silencer just to try and make it liveable?

actually sometimes putting a silencer in can cause you to gain horsepower because if you dont have enough back pressure you can lose horsepower, so by putting the silencer in it might give some hp and if you lose some you wouldnt notice it anyway b/c its such a small amount

^^ Backpressure rarely has anything to do with top-end unless you go really big (i.e running just headers/no exhaust at all). Plopping in the silencer might give you some low end and kill the sound, but its not gonna give you power high up. Going to the max for N/A really (2.5 inches) is gonna give you the most power with still sufficient scavenging with a slight decrease on low end.
Once again, an exhaust is more for sound and for looks than power.

I liked my motoria for a while. that is, until the resonator for some reason fell apart. u know, the larger diameter piece in the mid section? it started to fall apart. I had that replaced with a magnaflow 18" long inline round muffler. It's dead silent at idle, without restricting any backpressure. I usually run the car with the silencer. It's the only way to pass inspection around here.
