Default 350 w/ F Sport Exhaust + Invidia Midpipe (Video)

Here's a little video I made for everyone following my F Sport exhaust thread.
Just installed the Invidia midpipe (THANKS TO TEAM SNS FOR SAME DAY PICK UP AND LOW PRICE!)

LOL, love the honesty: "I'm young, I want people to hear me coming and look at my car."

Thanks for posting the vid! It's indeed too loud for my taste, but it does sound pretty mean!

OP: Did you end up doing the install yourself? I remember you messaging me on Facebook about it. Removing the bolts can be a PITA, other than that it's pretty easy.

Hahaha! I have the exact same setup as the OP - it is obnoxiously loud, but I love it. My favorite thing is revving while going through tunnels or underpasses (since the sound bounces off the walls and amplifies the volume). It's the little things that make us ricers happy.

For those interested in another sound clip of this setup (there are 4 other videos on my YouTube channel too):

1. I did the install myself, took me 2 hours because I had to jack up the front, then rear separately. It was easy enough, O2 sensor wasn't too bad either.

2. Ya I like to rev everywhere I go now haha. Ya, Im one of "THOSE" guys now haha

I'm fine with the loudness/drone but I hate the loud cold start. Wakes up the whole block. Not to mention the back fire that sounds like a bomb..

^^^ I would change the exhaust, you can get Tanabe if you don't want it to be louder, but as far as midpipes go, I wouldn't get one cuz that will definitely make it louder

Sounds really deep. Thanks for posting the videos, I think I'm happy with just the HKS system.
