I have the AA midpipe which a lot of people here praise, it's pricey though

The VRSF looks very very close to it in design and is much less expensive

I'll work on getting you that sound clip.

With the valves (cold) closed, it may sound a little worse to you because the system
has been relieved of a significant amount of back pressure and only these remain.

In a minute (valves open)... The sound becomes a lot deeper.

Cost: $350.00 ~ $400.00 Tops!

Total - Including installation by a reputable exhaust/weld shop with no "fitment issues"
and/or coding necessary.


Cheers!

That is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the information. Is it pretty quiet cruising with the valves closed still?

Not sure if you were referring to my last post but...

TMK - The valves are only closed when the engine is cold.

There are valve controllers ("Macht Shnell") and tunes ("BM3") that will let you regulate these to your liking.


Cheers!

I was more wondering what the difference between sport + and eco were. Right now cruising in eco down the highway it is almost silent.

So with all of your help I have decided that BM3 and VRSF midpipes are the way to go. With that setup would I run a stage 1 or 2 tune?

BM3 Stage 2. I'm thinking about adding VRSF Single Midpipe as well.

Looks like a quality piece. Any ideas on gain on stage 2? I have only been able to find charts for stage 1 91, cs, and gts maps.
