Default If adding a midpipe and high flow cat
To my f sport exhaust, what do you guys the difference in sound would be in contrast to just the fsport exhaust with the f sport intake?

Mid pipe will definitely make it louder. Soundwise, high flow cat sound difference is minimal.

It will get raspier in comparison to before. You can't get the JoeZ/Ark mid pipes separately, I believe (they don't sell it separate). The only option I find is the Invidia mid pipe. 2IS owners use the same one to pair up with the F Sport exhaust, HKS, Greddy, etc. Might wanna do some research, but youtube has videos with midpipe pairings on the 2IS (maybe even 3IS).

I recommend you go with full Joe Z or keep the F Sport and pair it with Invidia mid pipe...

Thanks Gt!, yeah I would preferably like to not have to switch exhausts as long as I can get that final rasp and overall louder sound, which is why I wanted to make sure a high flow cat and a mid pipe would give me just that.

Oh that's weird. It said it sent. I was just asking info on your exhaust/intake if you end up selling it.

Actually soundwise, high flow cat makes the most difference second to test pipe(no cat).
The OEM cats do a great job on sound damping.
Replacing OEM cats with HFC would makes the car much louder.

I guess we have our differences. I had HFC installed before an axle back and the axle back made more sound difference after installed.

Note that it was from a different car. It could change. I had apexi axle back and it made it super loud over all.

You sound like you wanna skip the cat tho. Up to you.

I thought they were universal.
