Question Anyone wanna trade a midpipe for a Ntech cat?

I'm thinking about replacing my hi-flo with a mid-pipe, I like the hi-flo but I want a little more power(and some flames).

If anyone has a slightly used midpipe and would be interested in trading, let me know. My Ntech has about 2.5-3k miles on it, so it should be in good shape, nice construciton, and light weight.


Also, if anyone has an opinion as to why I SHOULDN'T switch to a midpipe....those comments are welcome as well....

Actually boost creep does become an issue with a midpipe. It's much louder and stinks like a truck stop. You'll see more power with a midpipe but only after 6K rpms - then your car will lauch foward. A hi-flo cat will gain you more low-mid range power but not as much up high as a high-flo. It's harder to tune out boost creep on cold days. It's safer to go with a hi-flo but if you like that outboard motorboat raspy exhaust note and smelly fumes then a midpipe is for you.

Ive got a pettit (i think) mid pipe. Had it on and off for about 4 months. Im considering swapping it out
for a high flow. Ive got a RB dual exhaust and with the midpipe it sounds nice. I just
wanna do something"positive" for the air. Do you know if you gotta run the air ump with that cat?

I would imagine you would need to use the air pump with any cat hooked up, unless you don't mind clogging up the cat.
