Honestly i was worried it will be loud, the sound got more deeper and the drone in the car has changed, its still there but not as bad i think. The car is not that loud i was expecting worst, but it deff sounds good. I get alot more heads turning when i drive, also the m2 axle back aligns alot better with this midpipe then factory. I have the s2k tips that i still need to play with 1 rattles on the gfx a little.

what ive read on this forum before:

midpipe especially invidia would make drone worse since 2ndary cats is gone. however it sounds like your enjoying it thus far so

midpipe is probably the worst investment when talking about power gain. bob mentioned 2hp but i think it's more like 1hp. i guess it's subjective feeling. i'm guessing it could be due to you stepping on the gas more aggressively so you can hear your new exhaust setup, and get the illusion that your power went up.

either way great setup, i thought about going this route before, too

Link has been added to the first post as well as here:

Link to Video Of driving inside the car: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81197958@N02/8489658270/
Link To short clip outside the car: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81197958@N02/8489655688/

Note: the video makes it sound more raspy, in person it is not only a little when its really cold out and you just start the car.

I read something about blocking the O2 sensor when installing these. Is that necessary? What does it do?
