ok after long problems with my tsudo header i was running a previous set up. i ran tsudo header and s pipe (which is basically MMW) and loved it except for the header being defective and leaking at the head so i had to scrap it. but anyway tsudo header and s pipe, factory midpipe with 2nd cat-aero25-oem resonator for the rasp and a tanabe concept g axel back. well after i got rid of the tsudo header and s pipe im running a heat wrapped megan header with factory s pipe and the same midpipe and axel back. but i have two questions. if i put a 2.5" s pipe on to get rid of the factory garbage s pipe will i feel a notice in power? (still keep the factory midpipe in with the 2 resonators and 2nd cat) and will i feel an even more power increase if i ran a 2.5" header back catless exhaust and have a crap load of rasp. just megan header, 2.5" s pipe, 2.5" midpipe, and tanabe concept g axel back. would the power gains be def noticable? but is it worth all the rasp to run 2.5" header back? hate the smell too. i mean with my setup now i have only a lil rasp when i first crank up my car and let the pipes warm up but when they warm up i have no rasp at all.

Will the s-pipe give more power? No, it will free up more power.
Removing the 2nd cat. conv. will help free some(a tad bit) extra power.
Removing the resonators will not free up extra power and you'll get rasp.

I would say run Megan header - 2.5"s-pipe - 2.5" midpipe with high flow cat and resonators - tanabe concept G axleback.

that was confusing as hell

but if your n/a, 2.5 aint gonna do much. u might actually lose power

sorry thats what i meant. free up power. so yea i would like to run 2.5" midpipe with high flow cat and resonators but is it really worth spending the extra money and time to get it made and what not. thats a extra $500 buck prob with two good resonators, midpipe, and high flow cat. is it really worth the extra few hp. do you think it would be just fine to get a 2.5" s pipe and buy a high flow cat and replace the oem 2nd cat im running now? if not then ill just leave the midpipe like it is and get a 2.5" s pipe. but yea not sure if you answered but would i feel the dif just changing the s pipe to aftermarket?

Just as of the pther day i went from running a dc header on my stock exhaust to a full header back with no cats. I def noticed a little power gain and the rasp isnt all that bad, it would be better if i replaced my resonater with a longer one. I do notice the smell a little, ussally only when i'm out of my car. I would say get the s-pipe, and do something custom with your midpipe, 30+ res. Also go catless, it makes you more bad a$$....

lol alright. well ima get the s pipe. and prob get a high flow cat and take out that oem garbage i just wanted to see if it was worth it. thanks
