deletes the second cat and factory resonator, if you still have the factory headers... it will make your exhaust a little louder, with aftermarket headers it will sound like ____ rice.

I would try and get it somewhere other than ebay. Check the sponsored sales. But its a good midpipe. There arent many companys making them for our cars. Either get that or go custom. But since you have a TRD exhasut I am guessing you arent going for much with your ride other than a lil sound. Basically it will just giove you a lil deeper sound.

I have this midpipe section. I really like it and the sound that comes out with it. Originally I had the Greddy Downpipe that came with the turbo kit, stock midpipe, and HKS axelback, now that I have the midpipe it's a lot louder, and my car seems to backfire more which is awesome!!!! Also though, the check engine light came on about 100 miles after getting this mid pipe on, but you can do the Anti Spark plug fouler trick to make that go away.

check engine light was probably from your turbo, mid pipe won't do that
