The mid-pipe works well. I decided to not install the O2 fooler and just ignore the engine light. The pipe provides a nice aggressive rumble with my Borla. There was a slight loss in low rpm torque, say below 3K, but definite gains above that. One caveat: make sure the model you choose has the factory hanger location. Mine doesn't have it and it rattled on the crossmembers until I did the flywheel swap. Now, the pipe magically stopped knocking on the crossmember.

I installed the Canzoomer (Random Tech) Midpipe with high flow cat because I did not want to hassle with the CEL.

You can swap out the cat w/ a small strait through pipe which I will do if they figure a way to get the O2 foolers working.

For normal street applications I would definitely recommend a midpipe with a resonator.

ditto on the Canzoomer/straight pipe/relo-02/pre y split- no problems--lots more power/all going through Borla exits, 302 dyno/straight 91 octane.

I have the B&B mid w/resonator and the casper o2 sim. Works like a champ with the borla. No CEL since the install 2 months ago. Car feels great.....just takes some time to get over the sound. I barely notice it now.

Are you saying your 8 has 302 RWHP?
