Down pipes, resonated mid pipe, stock muffler
I really want to remove the cats and add some decent downpipes, but im not to interested in having a super loud car. So thinking about keeping the stock muffler.
Is anyone running this setup? Hows the sound? Is CPE the only one making resonated mid pipes? Thanks Steven |

I had catless DP's and the factory exhaust. It was not loud at all. I was expecting it to be much louder with the downpipes, but it was not. My next "1" will have the catless downpipes and the BMW performance exhaust, I think this will be a perfect set up and a better compromise between loudness and flow. Other systems out on the market will flow better, but I personally just don't want the car that loud.

I have a post on the videos and picture forum:

Catless downpipes are way more of a pain in the ass then they are worth. I've specifically had dealers say they don't mind aftermarket DP's as long as the cats have not been tampered with. My 2 cents, get catted dp's and work your way back from there.

I think this would be a great sounding setup. Most of the sound and flow will come from those DPs and the mid-pipes; however, it won't be LOUD by getting resonated pipes and sticking with the stock axle-back. If you were going for BIG power, eventually the stock rear-section would hurt you a bit, but you'll be fine for now.
I have a catless, non-resonated cp-e turboback on my car (Steptronic, mind you) and it sounds INCREDIBLE. It's loud and it drones (nothing resonators won't fix), but absolutely incredible, nonetheless. I say, "Go for it!"
