$70 seems like a lot just for a resonator delete. The muffler shop over here only charged my friend like 35. I would try to get it done for $50 if you can. Also, I can send u the link to my youtube video. It may give you a good idea of how the invidia mid pipe sounds

That would be great. I have the M2 and am getting used to how it sounds and I want more noise!

Did the midpipe increase the amount of drone you have inside the cabin. That is the only thing I am afraid of when messing with exhausts.

YES, its very loud in the cabin and drones like a ****. Im lucky to have silencers for the HKS but never use them anyways lol. I'm sure it wont be too bad with the m2. Once you let off the gas, its really quiet

I think that might be an automatic no go for me. I'm upset to hear that it drones that badly. I might just keep the M2 the way it is for a while and change the exhaust after I get bored. I wonder which exhaust sounds the best while still maintaining minimal drone (My main goal).

You'll get drone with most of the exhausts, but if you're really that concerned, I would stick with the M2 and do a resonator delete. Later on down the road, you can delete the secondary cats or do a mid pipe

This is confusing lol. Some people say the midpipe gives our cars that G35/350Z hollow sound. Some say they drone a ton.

I just ordered a Greddy SE Exhaust and a Invidia Midpipe. Hoping for a quiet cruising exhaust with a nice hollow sound when WOT!

Ask AndMG...that is the exact setup he had and just sold.

And if you dislike the midpipe I might have to take it off your hands

Hey Stylnhonda, how much are you looking to get out of curiousity?
Wasn't looking to buy just yet, but PM me if you want.

Yeah I heard the clip on the silver 250 a few threads down. Sounded very good, juts hope it's not to loud for me. I'm over the loud exhaust/open downpipe days on my daily driver.

The Senator. Not sure. I wonder if shipping prices would kill a out of state deal.

It shouldn't be too loud. The greddy SE alone is quieter than the tanabe I think
