Is the coupe mid pipe the choice for a sedan?

You will only save a bit of weight on your year of sedan, that is all you gain. Hardly worth it Janik.
if sound is all you are looking for, get a popcharger or a JWt intake.
It'll give you a nice sound under load.
most NA mods are totally useless on these cars....especially if you have a revup motor.

I had this same dilema when getting my coupe midd pipe VS the 05-06 sedan mid pipe.
I got a complete coupe exhaust , stock cats , Y pipe and Mid pipe , 18" coupe wheeels with tires, stock coupe spare and the Valve cover with red letters $ 350
I installed the coupe Mid pipe with hope that the " Drone sound " would not be a problem and to tell you the truth its been on for about 4 months and its excellent , nice tone and drone is very little, but not uncomfortable for me.
I have had 4 turbo cars and my G is very quiet even with the coupe mid pipe and Z tube with K&N filter.
but when you hit full thotle i can assure you you will be
content.

content.can you describe when the drone occurs...
only during acceleration in the low 1800-3200 rpm range also at crusing speeds under 35 mph/
its not bad at all , It has a similar sound to the coupe but just not the exhaust sound,
but when you give it gas it will growl even tho once i give it full throtle i can hear anything besides my Z tube and K&N hissing . i love it !

I'll just make a new mid pipe with no resonator and see how that sounds. I'd like to keep the stock look.
Anyone have a drawing or dimensions of the flanges so I can have them cut prior to removing the stock pipe?
