It's not gonna blow up on you right away, but it can get serious. Zoom, which what? Can/filter? Maybe that link wasn't showing up right for me. Anyway, don't take my word as gospel, but it sounds like the problem I'm having. There are some threads on it around here, too.

Running the TurboXS midpipe. I don't really want to let go just in case everything has to go back to OEM. I'm sure someone would let theirs go

I love the sound of the TurboXS. I'm just hoping I pass inspection tomorrow. And the dealership said they wouldn't cover my cat without a good air pump. Said the cat would burn up without it.
