Yeah I do not think we are going to get a sound clip of that set up. I bet it is loud as hell. Only point I have to make is that if you do not need 2.5" which most do not....and your going to hack it for a resonator or a high flow cat. Why would you change your stock 2.25" mandral bent stainless pipe? You can just hack it for a swap to a better resonator or high flow or no cat? It seems like much expense for .25" bigger pipe. NOW IF>>>>> It came with a couple of high quality resonators and a high flow cat already installed in the pipe I could see maybe $349.99.

ZPI's support over all on the TC is still well appreciated.

If you're n/a this pipe would probably help but you will see your biggest gains on f/i like with the setup I'm running. Now if you're doing it for sound I agree just put a resonator in your stock exhaust unless you're doing it for performance. I know without a doubt I'm going to see very nice gains from this pipe because you can tell from driving my car that my exhaust is bottlenecking at the midpipe. My exhaust will sound better too with this 30" resonator because it's very, very raspy right now as you can imagine. Like I said though whenever ZPI ships it to me and I can get it welded up and installed I'll post a review of the sound and of the butt dyno.

so if i want to run a header with s-pipe and still pass emissions in Massachusetts....

running a high flow cat along with 30" resonator in the mid-pipe will get me through emissions?

After sending numerous request of pics of your catback and got no answer. well i did a lil more digging and heres what i found



1. is your current catback for sale the same setup ?
2. does it use the midpipe posted on this thread since that one i posted is different.
3. are you even going to answer this?

thank you

I ordered mine two weeks ago yesterday and I haven't gotten an email telling me that it's shipped out yet. I was just making sure you hadn't gotten anything yet either

I've emailed them twice and both times they've said it was shipping out at the end of the week. It might've shipped idk, I haven't gotten an email. If it doesn't come tomorrow I'll email them again.
