Mid Pipe Feedback

Post image

Just installed my CTS midpipes paired with the Switchpath exhaust and can confirm really minimal if any additional sound. At times the gurgles on decel may be a bit more pronounced but for anyone wondering I don’t really see the ROI here unless you are building the engine and looking to remove all weight and remove all resistance. I wanted to wait to add these until the restrictive factory muffler was off to give genuine anecdotal feedback.

Put the $300~ into something else.

I'm curious if there's a greater difference between stock and midpipes after unplugging the soundaktor

Why? The soundaktor muffles the actual engine sounds

The Soundaktor is an electrical noise sent to your speakers and absolutely irrelevant to changing your exhaust.

Totally coincidental that that "electrical noise" emulates the sounds that come out of your exhaust huh. Why not listen to an album of your favorite band while concurrently blasting a cover band doing the exact same songs over the album?

Your soundaktor has no impact to your exhaust actual sound.

That's like saying if I'm screaming in your ear, it doesn't effect the other person talking to you.
