Does anyone in Houston have a mid pipe and stock exhaust?

I'd like to hear the sound of this combination if possible, I'm not aware of any people that do coming to our club meets but please let me know if you do.

Thanks

Hay, the midpipe replaces the cat. Right? How do you get the car inspected with no cat?

I have a midpipe and run it with stock exhaust. It adds a nice little extra sound without being too loud. It will drone though.. but that doesn't bother me.

I didn't like the way the exhaust fumes smelled though, so I took it off and went back to my cat. Midpipe is sitting my garage right now. If you're interested, I would consider selling it.

Two things to keep in mind. 1) it will probably make the engine light come on - that's expected and not a ig deal. 2) you probably won't pass an inspection.

Neither of the above are too big of a deal because you can just keep the factory cat, switch back, get inspected, then switch back to the midpipe. I kept my factory cat and can switch from one to the other in about an hour start to finish (first time will take longer though).
