This site is literally chock full of good information on the BHR midpipe. The search feature is your friend.
But, I'll hold your little newb hand just this once.
There is a tiny bump in HP--right around 5 IIRC. It is a LOT lighter than the factory cat, though.
It is a little louder and maintains the OEM exhaust note with a slight "woosh" or "rush" added to it. Sounds quite nice.
There is a bung for the O2 sensor. Like most midpipes, odds are very good a CEL will eventually be triggered.
You really need to read the New and Potential Owners thread and the Modding for Newbs thread. Almost any question you might ask is answered in one of thos threads.

I wrapped a couple interior parts today. The center console is pretty scratched up from the previous owners. I did the silver sides in cf look. I had some black brushed metal left over from something else so I did the shift surround and ash tray to get an idea of what it would look like. I think it looks good on the ash tray cover and might use it to cover all the gloss black. I'm not sure about the shift surround part because you can see the plastics texture.

I put a new Group 35 battery (Costco Interstate battery prices cannot be beat - $73) after 3 years 3 months and changed the differential fluid from factory to Redline GL-5 75W90 at 45000 miles. Getting ready for DGRR. Manual transmission fluid to be changed next weekend to Redline MT-90 [GL-4 75W90]. I'm staying ahead of battery issues by replacing before it goes bad.

Almost every mod I'm doing is in preparation for this BNR/Greddy kit sitting in my garage. Hence the lower opening thermostat. It was personally recommended by Charles and given that I've had nothing but great experiences with his products I'm not entirely too worried about it. I've been keeping a pretty close eye on my coolant temperatures since my radiator replacement and if something failed I'd know pretty quickly.

Woke it up from hibernation today. Changed plugs wires coils and oil then took it for somewhat of a wash.

Was getting a bit of a stumble at idle before and now seems to be gone. Also seems to pull better past 6500rpm. Car has 47000km and 'c' coils were replaced with 'c' coils.

Refinished my headlights. I guess I didn't quite sand the inside corner enough on one of them because the clear coat wrinkled a tiny bit. I still have to buff them, then I'll decide if I want to redo the one.
I also ordered Tanabe GF210 springs and hopefully this week will be putting in the new rotors and pads I ordered last month.

I saw they make leather look wrap. I'm thinking of getting a piece to do the passenger airbag cover. I've seen people wrap that in CF look but that is too much CF for me and I think leather look would blend better with the rest of the dash. I might try it on the shifter surround as well. I've got brakes and springs to install before I get into that though.
