Smile Midpipe installed

Well I installed my AP midpipe. It's fitted to a RB REV8 catback exhaust. Yea it gets loud around 4K....but I love it. I think people forget this car has a pissed off beehive under the hood and they want a low roar. I want to scream down the street obnouxiously.

However, noticed that if I keep the RPMs around </=3K RPMs the exhaust isn't loud at all. So if I need I can keep her quiet.

I didn't have my check engine light turn on till I hit 60MPH interestingly enough. I'm not worried about it at this time. Hell with the amount of money I've fully invested into this car, including purchase, hasn't even hit 1500 so I don't care.

Drive it like you stole it, loud and proud.

P.S. - No the loud exhaust won't get old to me.
P.S.S. - I know when to be loud and not loud (around cops) so I know not to gun it around them. I don't want to give my hard earned money to the government more than I give my time.

I have the same AP midpipe on my HKS legamax catback. Going on 3 years. Still sounds the same as the first day I installed it. To me its not as loud as people exaggerate it to be.

Never had my neighbors complain and haven't got any tickets for it, despite getting tickets for everything else (speeding,tints,etc).

I like it and got it brand new for an awesome price compared to some of the other midpipes, and its good quality to boot (still nice and shiny stainless steel). Loud is subjective to what you like.
