well there are the megan ones...no gains from everything i've read. the ppe ones showed solid gains, between 16hp and 21hp, you can get those for a little over 1000 dollars, and then IMF is making a set too...probably a little less expensive, but those aren't quite available just yet

The o2 sensor is on the midpipe and the header. One set in front and one after the cats. I just got the invidia too...and you'll definitely need the 02 sensor wrench. I had a hell of a time gettin those o2 sensor shieds around the wrench, I finally had to snip the shields off.

Anyway, I think it sounds alright. I really cant say I'm in love though...it could be my cheap *** ebay axle back too though, although it sounded good on its own.

Back to the subject, the headers will either delete the cats or install new high flow cats. It wouldnt make much sense to get headers,midpipe, and axle back without getting the high flow cats too. It would be like hookin a fire hose up to a drinking straw and expecting the same amout of flow....

Does having the Invidia mid pipes with the Tanabe medallion Touring exhaust make it sound deeper? I'm thinking about getting them... I have the Tanabe with a Resonator delete, and i dont think the sound is deep enough for what i'm looking for. Anyone have any video clips of how this combo would sound?
