midpipe installed, my thoughts

well, first, loud, second its cool to be loud, and third, more power. did i mention it was loud, i cant believe how much differance in noise from a high flow to this. i have yet to drive it at night to see the flames, but i am hoping for some biggens.

Good times good times.

I always wear earplugs when I drive, the car actually sounds better and it really saves your hearing

don't be afraid to rev it, it pulls like stink from 6k up

anyone know if the Pettit ECU disables the rev limiter/redline buzzer? mine doesn't seem to be working

I get awesome flamage with the Pettit ECU, really scares the heck out of unsuspecting ricers

midpipe is a gift from god, there is no mod that will make more of a differnce in your car's performance, well.. except maybe a Tripple R torque brace

Serisouly though, with my midpipe and N1 Single, it bloody screams at high RPM, and I love it. don;t run more than 13 lbs though, you coudl be in for some trouble.

I just installed an N-tech hiflow cat for 375.00....Did I waste my money?? Did you see a BIG HP increase? I may just have to get a MP.

You'll get more torque and low/midrange power with a hi-flo cat over a midpipe although a midpipe delivers a lot more power after 6K over a hi-flo cat. A mp with a single turbo or non-seq. turbos is the loudest sound on earth - I couldn't hear myself think, judt not enjoyable and it was pretty laggy. The hi-flo cat gave me more backpressure which gave it more of a snappy powerful feeling. It's still loud but not nearly as loud as a mp

Serious power=power at high RPM, that is what you want. Ultimately more low end power means less power.
