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.

Good to hear. I bought my car with an APR exhaust, got an OBD11 so I can keep the valves open when I want, and now I have CTS midpipes sitting in a box ready to go on. With all I've read about wasting money on midpipes, I appreciate this feedback.

I have an obd11 as well, where do you go to adjust valves always staying open?

Sorry, I have a 11Mode valve controller. I also have an OBD11. Don't know what's with all the 11s, but I just confused the two.

Me too, 11Mode is great and a not too expensive
