Default Midpipe GS300 + Daizen swaybar bushings

Does anyone have a aftermarket performance midpipe on their 2nd Gen GS3? If so, how much hp/tq/. do you gain from such a mod? Also, i just replaced my swaybar bushings with the Daizen's and noticed a "creaking" sound in the front everytime i leave my driveway at a angle...does anyone else have this some problem? I know its not my balljoints b/c i just got those replaced...and my mechanic said my control arms are still in great shape. I would really appreciate some feedback!

Is it a creak/groaning sound or a squeak? Mine (Daizen sways but also with poly bushings) squeaks but it has been awhile since it was installed and it needs some more grease.

do you have aftermarket performance mufflers as well?...how loud is it with the midpipe?...and who makes your midpipe? I know there was this reputable company that made these bolt-on midpipes for the GS3 but i forget the name. Im wondering if i can bring hp numbers close to 300 going N/A without turbocharging?

its more like a creak/squeak sound...really annoying like my front suspension is gonna fall off...it may need re-greasing...and i doubt my mechanic torqued these too tight as he's pretty familiar with the installation of these kinda bushings....i think Daizen should come out with these DEL-A-LUM type of bushings...the benefits would be worth the extra $$$....tell me what you guys think!
