These three issues prompted me to remove the coupe midpipe. I will eventually buy the 05+ sedan midpipe which uses a 60% smaller resonator, has the two exhaust hangers, and is tuned for the variable capacity muffler used on the sedan.

The only items above that may contribute to better performance is the pop charger & the HKS, so not sure how similar it would be to a full exhaust....exhaust note wise - yes...but performance, not sure. I have the HKS myself and definitely don't feel any better performance, though the loss in low end torque that's been talked about on this forum.
Do you notice the loss in low end torque (due to the HKS not having the variable exhaust valve)? Not a big deal to me...the exhaust note of this muffler wins me over.
