Was The Ikon Worth It?

Main33vnt · 02-27-2008, 11:25 AM

Looking into an IKON Exhaust..... can anyone tell me if they like theres?

ModBargains.com · 02-27-2008, 11:24 PM

I have one on my car. No drone, noticeably louder, but for my taste, not loud enough

I'm thinking about getting a resonator delete to make it a tad bit louder.

PAKMAN · 02-28-2008, 12:57 AM

Main33vnt · 02-28-2008, 02:07 AM

E90330iS · 02-28-2008, 02:48 AM

How much did you guys get the Ikon for?

ModBargains.com · 02-28-2008, 02:49 AM

I got mine for $550 shipped--totally worth it if you ask me lol. And install was only $40!

i'm surprised no one here has mention that one of the tips tend to turn gold while the other stays silver...

ModBargains.com · 02-28-2008, 03:00 AM

Hahaha, well mine does, I actually kind of like that. Makes me feel like the value is appreciating.. not depreciating

im spencer · 02-28-2008, 03:04 AM

Yes that is correct, the left tip tends to turn gold but after some mothers mag polish on that sucker its a nice effect imo

khoda355 · 02-28-2008, 03:05 AM

what ever, sounds sooooo goood!!!

SteanLV · 02-28-2008, 03:30 AM

IT sounds good man, and it makes the ass of your car much buffer looking.. I regret selling mines

canucklion · 02-28-2008, 06:38 AM

With a post cat and resonator delete this exhaust sounds beastly

montreal_bimmer · 02-28-2008, 10:32 AM

i have one and it sounds awesome.... pretty loud... im gonna get rid of the resonators this summer...

Autobot · 02-28-2008, 10:41 PM

I'm the same way, I love it but still feel that itch to make it louder and remove the resonator...

But to answer your question, yes

montreal_bimmer · 02-29-2008, 02:19 PM

just a little off topic, what is needed to remove the resonator??? i got mine installed at Midas, i asked them to remove the resonator at the time of install, and they said they couldnt because it was one pipe going into 2, and they didnt have the adapter.... where can i buy this adapter so i can bring it to them and tell them to just install it????

any good muffler shop can make you a Y pipe. It costs like 50 bux and takes about an hour to do. Call around your area.

im spencer · 02-29-2008, 03:44 PM

im surprised your muffler shop didnt carry any Y-pipes thats funny... but anyways yeah a nice magnaflow Y-pipe with some decent welds would make the exhaust sound awesome

im spencer · 02-29-2008, 03:46 PM

Better yet I would actually buy the Y-pipe in advance before visiting another muffler shop I'm sure they mark their parts up for alot.
