What is the actual weight savings (in lbs) VS. the stock midpipe?

Received a shipping confirmation today. Thanks.

Are there any installation guides or videos available? I'd like to make sure I have all the right tools and/or parts necessary.

Mine came today! I've got a catless downpipe, soon to be eq resonated, and a Dinan axle back exhaust. Hoping to get some video to add to the sound archive

Just installed the resonated EQ yesterday. to me it is a night and day difference. This is the way the f8x should have sounded from the beginning! Thanks AA!

Nice! I just ordered mine a couple of days ago for my AWE switchpath exhaust.

Quick question for someone who has the midpipes, how’s it sound on partial load? Does it get rid of the trumpet like sound of the s55 exhaust?

Are you guys buying direct from AA or through a reseller on the forums?

I went with the vendor on this thread: extreme power house. Very responsive. Took a little over a month to get here due to their backlog and that I got the resonated version.

I went through AA directly as extreme didnt have the AWE switchpath mod for the AA EL pipe.

Thank you for the support

Had an absolutely terrible experience ordering this midpipe through **********s. Took them forever to ship when they said it was in stock. I noticed it finally shipped last Thursday and I checked the tracking number but I was very confused since it was in route to California when I am in MAINE! Then I spoke to **********s and they said AA shipped my midpipe to the wrong customer and they would recall it. It was recalled on Thursday and then **********s told me AA can't find it. I spoke to UPS and their tracking shows they tried to deliver it back to AA twice (Friday and today) and no one signed for it. I don't even know what to do at this point because **********s has been unhelpful. Can someone at AA please help me?

Call AA directly and ask for Sales. AA was very helpful to me when I called.

I did a search in the thread but came up empty handed on the following questions:

1) What is the weight savings of the EL MP versus OEM MP?
2) Can the EL MP bolt right up to the OEM ZCP exhaust?
3) Is there any power gains in the top end power by adding EL MP and catless DPs together and if so how much (assuming BM3 OTS2).

Thanks!

Do the EL midpipes come with all the necessary gaskets or do I need to purchase separately?

These do NOT come with exhaust gaskets. Highly recommend you pic up a pair of fresh ones to use.

Part #18307851168 - I bought some from FCP Euro
