Got around to installing my midpipe. Very straightforward install, took about an hour altogether. The fit and finish is excellent and initial impressions are it’s definitely louder than the resonator delete and more throaty while driving around town. I’ll update with vids soon.

Looking forward to this. On YouTube don’t see too much change with full exhausts but never heard this mod only. The stock exhaust it all one piece correct? So has to be cut?

Yes, those lap joints on each side of the rear diff is where the stock exhaust is cut. Pretty easy to convert back to stock since those lap joints can just be reused.

Great to hear, looking forward to the Vids.

Sub'd for some videos. Hope it fixes one of my biggest complaints...the lack of noise.

Updated! I added the Dinan midpipe to the existing video. The video doesn’t quite do it justice because it is noticeably louder while driving around. There’s no real drone to report and I do feel an increase in responsiveness. It has a deeper tone all around; more throaty and aggressive altogether.

Will update once the Eisenmann axleback exhaust comes in.

Here is a much better produced video from Dinan with the LCI Midpipe for good measure lol.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered the DINAN mid pipe and axle back. Ask for Garret. Gave me a solid deal.

Sounds great!
