Im looking to add this to my sedan, as the sedans exhaust is a little weak soundining. I talked to one guy but he mentioned some issues about a heat shield. Could somone ellaborate on this issue?
thanks

 

If you got an 05/06 getting a couple midpipe isn't worth it. However if you got an 03/04 it is totally worth it. I put an 05 coupe middy on mine about a month ago and it's awesome. Really gives the sedan a much better coupe sound. The heat shield blocking the driveshavft is the only thing that usually people run in to. Like myself, I found that it was leaning up against it, so I simply took a rubber mallet and bent it away from the mid pipe with a couple hits and it cleared fine. Got no rattles or anything. It's a very simple install and well worth it

 

i just pushed mine out of the way with my hands and havent had an issue since. it only needed about a cm of clearance

 

+1 bent it up a little, no issues

 

What if you have a GT Spec front bar, will the coupe mid pipe still fit with it?

 

I don't see why not. It should. Some type of pipe needs to be going through that area whether or not you have a gt spec front bar or not. Plus, the coupe middy is an OEM part so it should fit fine, that's my guess.

 

Just installed mine today, along with HKS muffler (thanks dunglan7), and Stillen Sways. No issues with clearance. Guess I got lucky. With the Hks it sounds awsome, very very slight drone at about 85. Here are a couple of pictures of two side by side.

 

^ thanks for the pictures, i am waiting on mine to arrive next week.

 

Nice GG. I'm going with the same setup in the spring. I already got the middy. Just waitin for the HKS. I'm sure you drive with your windows down even though it's freezing out lol.

 

^ HKS might be my next mod on the list

 

Hks Ftmfw!!

 

Yes, it will fit just fine. I have both. See my sticky at the top of the "Brakes and Suspension" forum.

 

Thanks cato, that saves me some searching. My next mod will be some HF cats, then i'll do the mid-pipe.

 

Any idea on HP gain?

 

GGRJR wow I don't recall ever doing 85 mph so I never notice the drone at that speed. But maybe someone else can answer the question if it drones at 85mph or not. If it doesn't maybe something is loose.
