More videos while rolling and in cabin too please lol! I have the same setup but I can’t decide between resonated and non-resonated.

The mid pipes sound good but the full setup is vital for the best sound!

Not sure if it's the angle of the shot, those tips seem to be sticking out a mile. Looks like ASS. Can that be shortened up?

Got an AA EQ midpipe - paired it with stock DPs and muffler. Honestly the EQ midpipe completely changes the ownership experience of this car. Whether you buy one or make one, 100% recommend.

Edit: Other details - base muffler, non-resonated AA pipes, valves are open

Which AA equal mid pipe is that? The straight version?

Non-resonated. There are some deep resonant frequencies around 3k RPM when the valves are open - not good or bad (I think it sounds much more exotic), just something to note. It definitely gives the car a jekyl/hyde character because with valves closed it's as quiet as stock and sounds way less rough.

Because he is a vendor posing as a regular user. He is the owner or founder of Valvetronic Designs hence the advocating for the full system.

Hey man!

I remember you messaged me awhile back that you were buying exhaust parts to make your own. What happened to that project?

I did, and I do still have the pieces! I was ready to go with a shop in Dublin for the welds and fitting but then COVID happened and for a variety of reasons I didn't have time / everything was closed down. See below for the basic mock up of the design (based on some of the forum members designs here). All the mandrel bends were bought pre-bent so any additional bending would be for fitment and wouldn't be full bends - the U needs to be cut for the specific additional length needed. Total for the piping was about $250 from summit racing and my quote for welding and fitting was about $300. There is one major drawback with this design, hence why I ultimately went AA - the X pipe is after the diff in this vs before the diff on AA. This is important because if the X is after the diff, it makes getting to the fill plug a little more challenging. Not impossible but just depends on if that matters to you or not. Also, this deign removes the resonator but keeps the secondary cats - the AA removes both resonator and secondary cats.

@RugbyBro
Isn't the X pipe in your pic sideways??? I think the main flow should be down the X legs and not across the middle cutout, otherwise you push all the flow through that restriction.

Oh interesting, I didn't realize that at the time that I mocked it up. I had oriented that thinking it would help fitment without realizing. So effectively with it oriented correctly this would be the design I think? This one lines up closer to OEM. The U is still exaggerated and needs to be cut for the additional length needed

You know that old adage of "if you build it, they will come?" I'm sure of you still build it, someone will buy it from you.
