sorry to hear about the fitment issue. Good luck with invidia. I was never able to get an email response out of them. I dont have a true before/after dyno of pre and post x pipe install but the dynameter app i had on my iphone showed a pickup midrange for what its worth.

 

Well, I got a response today from the vendor...
Says there was a "packing error" at Invidia and they are going to send me out new mid-pipes and that I can keep the original ones for my frustration gee thanks
what about the cost to have the new ones installed?????
Anyways
I will keep you updated if interested

 

Yes, I am interested to see what you think of the final product..esp power gains/drone. Are you MT/AT?

 

^^^I am AT and there is no drone with this setup, however because it comes in direct contact with the frame it is loud in the cabin when excelerating. I believe this will go away once corrected

As far as gains, I will give you a better review once I have the system installed so that it fits properly.I also want to have an H pipe installed.

I got a call today from the vendor who referred me directly to Invidia, which is here in SoCal..Turns out they want me to bring the car right to them so that they can correct any issues that I am having with their system....

I am setup with them tomorrow morning.....I will keep you posted

 

I am glad they are taking care of you..let me know how it turns out and what you think after it is right.

 

I love this exhaust. it sounds nice, maintain a stock-ish look but with a nice stainless steel canister and nice titanium burnt tip. I did have some rubbing on the under-carraige, but when i bought it, it had an x-pipe custom weld. so the rubbing might be from the weld. But i got an exhaust shop to heat and bend the pipe and it's flawless. It was raspy with TestPipes, but pretty much any exhaust will be. I mirrored the Fast Intention set up and added a MagnaFlow x-muffler. Killed all the rasp and drone from the TestPipes.

I'm not sure if it's mentioned. But somebody said that their buddy lost low-end with this exhaust. It is a true-dual exhaust just like HKS and Injen. The canister is divided in the middle into seperate compartments (or so i have been told). I think this exhaust a great value for the money.
