Any updates? How do you like it so far? I also have the Invidia midpipe and went back to stock mufflers from the Invidia AxleBacks... I was thinking of doing a resonator delete just to get a slightly deeper tone. Do you get a Check Engine light withbthe PPE Headers?

i do currently have the check engine light but ppe said if installed correctly there shouldn't be one. The installer didn't install a harness as he didn't know where it was needed so that could be it. Here's a rev clip i did real quick. I tried to record some driving ones too but didn't sound too great from my iPhone. I'll try those with my camera

yea. My buddy says it's cause my stock axelback can't handle the air flow so it creates this kind of raspy sound. I'm picking up invidia axelback today or tomorrow. Will post up final sound clip afterwards

You will never get the check engine light to clear as you removed the primary catalitic converter in the exhaust manifolds. You oxygen sensors will be out of spec resulting in the CE lght.

PPE supplies a module that tricks the computer.

i called ppe and they actually sent me the instructions on how to install the harness and it didn't look hard so I did it myself. So far no check engine light after a full day of driving 👍👍
