Wow, absolutly love the sound of your car. Is that the RP Midpipe or the RP High-Cat Pipe?
I've been looking to get the RP High-Cat Pipe with Greddy SP2 exhaust, but don't know if it will be loud enough. Is there a difference in loudness between the RP Midpipe and the RP High-Cat Pipe?

yea, i think we explained it to you in your other thread. Midpipe has no cat so its going to be obnoxiously loud. I say you get an exhaust first, b/c you never know that alone might be loud enough for you.

i heard chrism's car since he has the b&b exhaust alone and it was pretty loud. i heard the greddy sp2 from kel's car and it sound low and throaty, very nice~ i'm very curious to know what the midpipe would sound like with the greddy sp2... but i'll tell u, when i first installed it (i installed both the rp midpipe and b&b exhaust at the same time) i couldn't bare the loudness and it was just TOO loud... even shifting at 2k... but i wanted to stick it out and drove about 600 miles and it really mellow'd out... it's still loud but it's sexy now and love it. hopefully i can get turbo soon but i donno if i would want the turbo to tone down my sound :D

Is the midpipe legal in NJ? Because in CA we will get a new butt hole torn if we have a midpipe with no cat. I'm like you, I love that loudness and I want that, but I do not want to get in trouble with cops and emissions and all of that. That's why I am wondering if adding the cat will really take away from the loudness that these pipes can give off.

I could have installed it with my eyes closed it fit so perfectly. There are a total of 8 holes that need to be drilled (4 underneath and 4 directly into the side)...I cant imagine even trying to do this without the templates. I didn't save my templates or I'd offer them up.
im sure someone here saved a copy.
