get a catback, they dont do anything but make the exhaust a little louder. dont matter which one you get, cause they all do the same thing. i have the MS dual canister, so naturally you know its the best one out there

not to much to worry with a midpipe, it's pretty much as its name states, its merely an empty straight through steel pipe. But remember that a midpipe that is also paired with an aftermarket exhaust will be very very very very loud. Most midpipe users here just have the midpipe with the stock exhaust.

If you get a midpipe dont put an aftermarket catback , i learned the hard way. For DIY what do you need to know? Dont you just unbolt the cat and remove it , put new one in? Dunno about gaskets...But you probably should replace anything old to prevent leaking or w/e.
Ps. You do know removing the cat gives you a CEL right? If i were you id just buy a catback , like the HKS Hi power exhaust. Or the Turbo XS.

it also depends from state to state. In crappy states such as new york, I've been shown the actual law by a cop and it says you can't modify the exhaust PERIOD from the catalytic converter back with non OEM equipment. Even just a catback is illegal for street use in this state.

Where i have my car registered...there is no DEQ. so im open to any options. but i live near seattle. so the cops out here will not be happy with me if my exhaust is insanely loud at 8500 rpms.

I have the Agency Power exhaust with the cat delete on my 8 and I can tell you for sure that you will receive a CEL. I've heard about the spark plug anti-foulers and people seem to like it. I personally would prefer to get an O2 Simulator instead of drilling into my pipe, but to each their own. I'm curious to see your video if you do it!
