^^^^Depends on the state and the inspector. In California it might be tough because the mid-pipe removes the secondary cats. You will pass Functional, but depending on the inspector you may or may not pass Visual.

^^^^IMHO it certainly is. I'm running PPE headers and Dual Mode exhaust. Vossen 21" 9½" 10½" wheels with PS4S 255/40/21 and 295/35/21 tires.

i have a question for those with the mid pipe, i just got mine put on. It sounds great, only thing is do you guys notice the car sounding different when at idle ? Not sure if i may have a leak because i didn't change the gaskets out.

It sounds different at idle vs gas..yes mine does that too. maybe post a video up? I agree these should come with a gasket I had to reuse mine too. Hopefully no leaks.

Default Drone?

Hi all, I’ve listened to a GSF with a custom-made axleback exhaust - lots of intrusive drone, especially from 1500-2500rpm. The GT Haus LSR midpipe seems to the best mod for the GSF, and it seems several members are now running it. Can you please tell me how much drone there is compared to stock? Really appreciate any feedback.

This mid pipe is probably the loudest out there, makes a mustang GT sounds like a corolla.

There are some days where i wish i kept it stock because of mid rpm noise. Its there and its just part of the deal.
went to a car meet and the guy had bazooka / rcf ppe headers + supercharged and eveyone agreed that the GT haus sounds meaner.

so its really up to you - alot of folks like the apexi resonated mid pipe too with toms exhaust which seems to be the sweet spot. One of my friends is running it and i think its the most balanced setup in terms of sound and drone elimination.

I have a GT Haus midpipe with stock axle back. I think it sounds really good and in my opinion there is minimal to no noticeable drone.

I just installed the meisterschaft mid with stock axle back earlier today. It sounds absolutely amazing. I didn’t hear any drone personally
