[QUOTE="Pete's 03, post: 11102243, member: 40463"] Perfect write up.... If only all the dealers, manufacturers, vendors etc. tested the goods they offer like you guys. Couple questions though. Not sure if you guys did any catcack reviews yet, and if not I wonder why the midpipe comparison and install was done prior to doing a catback test? (Again, maybe I missed a catback test?) I only ask because I would think that 90% + of buyers would either get the carback prior to the midpipe, or at the same time. However, I would also assume that when the time comes to test catbacks you will do a comparison with and without the o/r midpipe, but again, just a guess?? I'm not trying to nit pick as you guys have always done great articles, but it just seems to me that not many people would buy the midpipe and keep the stock exhaust. Also, I didn't notice anywhere in the article, but is the piping 2.5"? Your description of the sound difference is spot on to what I said that I noticed on my car. When I bought it it came with a generic o/r H and Flows welded into the stock catback. It sounded great but fit like crap. I then swapped out the H for an UPR o/r X and the first thing by buddy said was that it sounded like a Eupropean exotic v8 or v10, especially between 2200 and 4000 RPM. I ended up swapping everything out for a full stainless Bassnni setup which sounds like a combo of both only WAY louder IMO.
