First Ride: Agency Powers Midpipes (fr PYSpeed) with RR catless dp and stock muffler

dyong · 04-05-2010, 06:56 PM

Fitting is not 100% perfect. I have some exhaust leak between the dp and the midpipes. May have to loosen the setup again to re-adjust. The AP midpipes is noticebly lighter than the stock midpipes. I was expecting a louder noise but it is only slightly louder if not very similar to my previous setup (RR catless dp) which I prefer. I could hear the turbo whine more now. No drone at all. When I first drove the car it feels like 100 lbs lighter and picks up speed quickly. I am happy to be catless now.

Thanks for the review. I am considering getting these very soon and worried it would be too loud and drone. How bad is the exhaust smell when its cold and warmed up?

If you dont have your windows down in a closed garage you will be fine.

I didn't notice a big difference in exhaust smell.

Thanks for the reviews. It really helps settle my hesitation to go completely catless.
