0 drone with this setup. When the engine is warm and at idle it sounds stock. WOT it screams and sounds amazing. The secondary is in the mid-pipe so this deletes that. In the past I have replaced just axle back in my cars and I've never achieved this good of a result vs stock setup. I wish I knew someone with just an axle back to compare in person but I'd be willing to bet the axle back has more of an effect at low rpms and idle vs the mid-pipe having more of an effect at WOT. JAT.

Can you post a video as well? If they both do the same thing may have to get whatever is easier to install.

Personally, I always error on the side of "you pay to play".

Buy a nice catback, get the sound you want, and when you're ready to turn the lease in, swap the exhaust back and sell the aftermarket one on here

See blow for some sound clips.

im curious how that midpipe sound and a resonator delete (straight pipe insert) compare in sound now.
