I bought a midpipe over 6 months ago to rule out a CAT issue. Figured I could put it back on when I need to. No need. NO CEL. NO ODOR. NOT LOUD. NO DRONE. It may smoke, if you flooded it prior. If you did not let it warm up before shut down. There will be a noticable power increase, depending on your current CAT condition. Mine was bad, so in theory it was more than a 8HP gain. I have the stock exhaust on with Tips extended out past bumper at 3.5 inches. I bet money it would pass inspection. There is another thread I read to support that. Someone passed with a midpipe.
The CAT on this car faces demise due to the nature of the car. To run properly, the car needs to warm up to temp for ECU reasons. Until the temp gauge moves to the normal point, it runs rich. Correct me if I am wrong, but the EGT at idle is easily 800. During the warm up the CAT is basicly an afterburner in reverse. They should have installed a toaster oven. In six months that chrome pipe has turned black. Tell me that aint some heat. All that heat conducts back up into the header and to all the other parts. Getting that heat away has got to add life to the engine.
