Thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

They’re both the same platform so the ITS is just as great on the track! Suspension’s just a tad softer so it’s more comfortable on the road though. FL5 definitely has the better seats for the track.

That’s fair. I was surprised by how good the stock exhaust was tbh, but I am used to having a much louder car. When the opportunity came up to let MBRP borrow the car to create the exhaust, I jumped on it ASAP!

I ain’t mad at that!!!❤ Enjoy your car..👏🏾👏🏾💯

Thank you! The ITS has been lots of fun! Highly recommend it.

Yeah the stock exhaust is great and I’m sure it’s a lot more fun with a res delete. The valve was definitely not something I was willing to lose!

Thanks! The exhaust isn’t out yet, but it should be released within the next few months. You can feel free to follow me on insta (@platinum_de5) as I’ll post when it’s available!

Thanks! I appreciate that. The TLX Type S is pretty sweet!

Definitely an awesome car!

I have the cat-back, but I’m still planning on getting a downpipe and tune in the future! The MBRP exhaust is still pretty relaxed in comfort, so I feel like it still won’t be annoying with a downpipe. Downpipe + 3” cat-back in Sport+ is going to be a different story though!

The MBRP exhaust set up (mufflers/resonator/piping diameter) should be the same between the FL5 and DE5. Changes would be to fit the exhaust on the DE5 since it’s not a direct fit between the two, but this shouldn’t affect the sound. The difference is in the operation of the valve itself. In Sport and Sport+ on the ITS, the valve is always open, and in comfort it’s always closed. For the CTR, the exhaust valve only opens above 3500 RPM in +R, and I believe half open in Sport (I could be wrong). With the valve open, the CTR and ITS would sound the same with the MBRP exhaust, but the CTR doesn’t have the pops and burbles.

No issues whatsoever with it

Yes! They had it pretty much figured out since they developed the exhaust for the FL5. They borrowed my car to finalize/make changes for the DE5! It was a great experience working with them.

That’s awesome bro. Glad it was a great experience. Car sounds amazing. I’m looking at getting a type-S myself so this is def the exhaust I want once it’s release and of course when I get the car.

No, it’s a cat-back so nothing emissions related has been touched or changed

Yeah I’ve heard cali is pretty bad when it comes to exhausts. The pops with the stock exhaust are pretty loud too. Then again stock Elantra N’s are getting pulled over tho

yea that elantra n was my reference. lots of other stock cars get pulled over and get state ref'ed too. its so ridiculous. @@Platinum_DE5

To each their own. The stock exhaust is great but I got bored of it fairly quickly but I really like the MBRP exhaust. And it’s still valved so I can be as quiet or as loud as I’d like.

I hope the type R mbrp sounds like this

⁠@@alichaudhry12when I brought my car to MBRP, they actually started off by putting the FL5 exhaust on, then made the necessary modifications to fit the DE5. The exhaust itself would be the same, but the valve modes are different between the FL5 and DE5 so the sound would be different

@@Platinum_DE5 ah I see, thanks for the reply. I got an email from my dealer after a year of waiting they're telling April delivery. I just hope they don't jack up the MSRP for 24 model.
