Borla + Agency Power midpipe

I got my AP midpipe on wednesday and today I had the chance to finally install it. I personally think the car sounds a whole lot better and based on comments made by others *cough chrism cough* lol, it really isn't that loud. The pipe was dual resonated, so that might have something to do with how loud it is. Anyway, here's a clip of the setup with some flame action!

Edit: drive by vid added!

Yea I just think sounds loud because of the video, but in person, it really isn't loud and the drone on the highway is not bad at all.....it is there, but it's very low, so you can actually talk to someone in your passenger seat.

I'm guessing it was because the pipes weren't warm enough yet....because I took this vid once I got home from the meet

Yeah.. No flames when we saw it????
If u ask me.. Id say that vid was tampered with...It could b any 8 throwing Flames....LOL

The 8's are too quiet stock (In my opinion)...Thats the way they should sound..
That mid pipe was a great buy

That's because in person it really isn't loud at all.....I just think the sound is amplified in the videos.

The road I did the drive by on is probably the most unoccupied road in Staten Island because there is nothing on that road....except for homes. There is another spot near me, but it's always being watched by cops who are looking for people who are street racing.

An interesting thing I have been doing some research on to avoid the CEL light from coming on you actually create a very long space between the o2 bung sensor and the actual pipe itself.

Here is a visual representation:

Thanks Scott

Fluid, I read that somewhere as well, probably somewhere on here. I will have to look into putting a spacer on my pipe.
