Question 2 questions.........

ok, so the car flooded (lesson learned) and it had to go to the dealer. They did the flush and spark plug clean and yadda yadda.....

now the car sputters and hesitates between 7800-9000 RPM. are the plugs just F'ed up?

2nd.
I want a deeper sound..so I thought about a midpipe. Will I get the same results if i gut the stock pipe as buying one? I see that a midpipe is just 1 piece of section...pretty simple for my exhaust guy to make.

also, if I build one...what codes will I throw? if so, where can I buy the cat delete CEL?

thanks guys

and how big can the sigs be here?

i have a turboxs full system. I first gutted my cat after installing the cat back portion and the sound difference was neglible almost nothing from full cat to rodded cat. however when i added the mid pipe it got crazy loud.

LOTS of midpipes out there, I personally would go with a resonated pipe as the non-resonated are a bit too loud / raspy IMO.
do some searching on here and check out sound clips on youtube.
