G87 Break-In Exhaust
My G87 arrives in 1-2 weeks and I’ve had the AA EL midpipe for about 3 months now for when the car arrives. Has anyone performed any exhaust mods prior to the break-in period? Did your dealer happen to mention anything at the time if you did?
I obviously know this is dealer-dependent, but just trying to gauge if I should wait until after the 1200 mile break-in to mess with the exhaust. Thanks in advance |

The break in is mainly for the internal engine and drivetrain components. I doubt changing an exhaust impacts anything. You might want to see how the OEM exhaust does first before splashing money on it. It's your money of course.

Yeah, I agree, I don't think installing it before break in would mess anything up. I'd hit up your local dealer to make sure they're cool with you doing it before the warranty goes belly-up.

I swapped my Midpipe and added in a Valve Controller just after 400 miles and never had a issue with the Dealer. As others have said it won't effect the engine other than add more bite to the exhaust. Full disclosure I did keep the OEM Midpipe section in one piece just in case I want swap back.

Just installed IRL single midpipe at 500 miles. My experience so far.. about the same quality of sound at normal mode, but a lot of burbles and increase of sound at M1/M2 modes. However, exhaust definitely smells bad.. I can smell it while driving with open windows and at my apartment garage
