Anyone here with an Invidia Midpipe?
tl;dr: Bend the center, shorter cross member down to increase clearance or use header tape so it's not hitting metal-to-metal. I don't think exhaust hangers will fix the problem.

Do have a question for you using the invidia mids;
I have the PPE headers (catless) F-sport catback, and F-sport intake. I know the mids will pretty much add no HP gain but at about 78-80mph I get a pretty loud drone. Does the invidia cut down on that, make more raspy perhaps etc?
Car is loud as hell as is, just looking to kill the drone a bit for long trips.

Btw the Fsport exhaust is an axle back, not a catback.
If it was a catback, you would already have different midpipes

Ah yes that was a mistype on my part, being loud isnt the issue just curious if the mids would change the "tone" to something a bit more raspy but isnt issue untill 80mph mark, drops off at about 90mph and is fine.

1. Not a ton of work but w jackstands and a helping hand it can be done.
2. No CEL
3. The o2 sensor is in a PIA location.
4. Yes you need to remove 2.
Check out the thread i made for when I installed it. I love mine w just the stock axle back. A nice subtle change. Let me know if you had the same issue as me. My pipes were banging on the lower brace bar. I ended up replacing the spring bolts w fixed bolts and used washers to move my brace bar lower, giving me more clearance. I purchased my pipes new.
