i'm also lookin for a midpipe that'll match up with an Invidia s-pipe and HKS hi-power exhaust.

so far i only saw the Megan and ZPI midpipe's. i'm lookin for 2.5" piping but i think the megan is only 2.25"

Yes the Megan is 2.25" and the ZPI is 2.5".....These are the only mid-pipes I am aware of. I was hoping someone new of others? tuffcookie
Not to veer of course hear but what do you think of the Invidia s-pipe? Quality and fitment wise?

From what I have seen the ZPI is 2.5" strait pipe. IMO not having the second cat or resonator would be too loud. Not to mention worthless unless your engine is boosted. Us N/a guys need the back pressure for scavaging.

Invidia s-pipe is nice. quality is great and i had no problems w/ fitment. butt dyno tells me it pulls a bit more from mid to top end. for the deal i got for it, i'm happy with it.

if you can manage to buy a dirt cheap stock exhaust then heres an idea.

-cut both flange from the stock exhaust ( to have OEM fit )

-buy you mandrel bends online

-buy a thick ss steel from a local muffler shop

-and have some good welder weld everything

-dont forget to sand lightly the welded areas and use hi temp exhaust paint to avoid rust.

as far as zpi, "call" them first TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN "SHIP" the midpipe when you pay for it.
