I'm installing the RB intake this week, so hopefully I'll be able to feed this monster more air eventually :p

The RB intake should really compliment the exhaust well. I was thinking about placing the order myself, but my want of forced induction is keeping me away from ordering the part.

I'd tend to agree with that from the seat of the pants. It's definitely in the upper rev range, naturally, where there seems to be a real increase.

My question for those who have installed the RP midpipe: How many of you had the hangar from the OEM cat removed and installed on your RP pipe? Those that didn't, have you had any problems? Thanks.

I used the OEM hanger. I have the titanium Trust exhaust and it sat quite low, hitting the metal...
OEM cat was totally destroyed (ceramic stuff where coming off) when it was taken off, dunno know why
However I didn't notice a downslope in performance...
The RP mdpipe seems nice. Did only 20km so I can't tell yet.
I weighted it 4.8kg (10.6lbs) with courrier package, very light.

If you do not know anyone with a Harrison CANScan, then you could go by an AutoZone. They might be able to pull the code for you. We need the code #
I have 2500 miles with the midpipe and no CELS, so this might not be related to the midpipe.

Great Sound Clips.
Nice Growl but loud, even louder driving it.
I'd have to put on 1 resonator if not 2 and I don't know if that's worth the power gain.
I don't think your getting any more than 3.5 HP from it, then you loose more with a resonator.
