It's symmetrical down to mm on each side in relation to the exhaust openings. Overall, very impressed.
Yea my exhaust was horrible with drone when I first installed it with the stock mid pipe but once I replaced the mid with the invidia it was much more tolerable but still is bad cruising at 2 or 3k rmp.

Yeah, I didn't want to get invidia midpipes at first, but now I almost have to. I've also bypassed mufflers with all my previous cars which decreased the drone, but increased loudness and raspiness. I would just buy a piece of a straight pipe and jam it inside of the muffler (obviously it only works with straight through design mufflers).

I did it with my 350Z and the drone was completely gone, cruising at low RPMS the exhaust was very quiet. But once you punch it, it screamed up top.

Question, eliminating the cats with invidia midpipes; would that trigger the CEL? Thanks!

Just snapped this... Raised up the car a little for the winter and I'm actually digging the look with spacers I've added.

I'm not as good at taking shots like acingteam but here's a picture of mine before I part ways with a few parts; they've been good to me, but it's time to move on to newer ideas.

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

And RVCA, I always follow the changes to your car; very inspiring! Love the 2014 front end conversion.

Acingteam, what size are your wheels, 19s?

Can't wait to see, Sebastian hopefully I can see the car again before the makeover!
