New exhaust video

Just put an obd 2 midpipe and a rogue catback on the car. So far I am loving it and it sounds ridiculously good. yes it drones, but only when you are lugging it around 2,000 rpm.

Video audio is kind of blown out. There will be a better video soon.

Quick question though.
My first drive with it on my car was stumbling pretty bad, had no power, and sounded like a wrx. So then I got on it just to clear it out. Now every once in a while at a stop light or just idling the car will miss for a few seconds then run smooth again.
I welded in the O2 sensor on the drivers side pipe pre-cat where it would have been on my old obd 1 midpipe. Then I plugged the post cat bungs with bolts. I checked for exhaust leaks at all connections and there were no leaks. Do you guys think it has something to do with only getting a reading from the one pipe? or the car just has to adapt?

Damn that looks awesome, I absolutely LOVE the staggered tips with the angled cut - that's exactly how I wish my AA Gen 3's tips came

That looks really good though.

Great video. Finally, I think you went from the quietest car out of us three to the loudest

Oh, and I love the 2-3 shift, how many times did it take you to get that shot down right?

i keeeed!

. You know I started to feel for my valve retainers and oil pump so I figured 5 miss shifts was enough. JUST KIDDING, you know my middle name is 3 three wheelin' HansStuckBillAuberlenJoeyHand holmes right?

Oh and the video makes it sound 10x louder than it is in person.

Absolutely love the way the car is turning out, Joe!

nice! i have the same exhaust and the drone is pretty bad, but there is no need to drive at 2k...after that it sounds awesome
