This is not quite accurate. When I installed my catless midpipes (Akrapovic), everyone in my family noticed. Not horrible (unlike catless downpipes), but there is a difference.

Interesting this. I am a quite sensitive person when it comes to bad smells and so, and most of the time, especially if I am not going too fast I always drive with window down, no a/c, after the install of N55 mids which are catless and Evolve Race rear exhaust I have sensed zero change vs stock, absolutely nothing. I agree that it is a pair of cats less so there should be some change but there actually is nothing to talk about, whatever it is it must be too small a difference.

Or the resonator of the N55 mids has a hidden function!

Or your downpipe got weaker because of the badass Akra mids?

I don't want my exhaust to be very loud,because my SS race muffler is one of the loudest in the market if don't tolk about Maistercraft streight pipes...
So the SS resonated mids are very expensive and then I have 3 ways:
n55
Berk
Maddad

right? but I think that Berk and Maddad is better because they have 2 resonators instead of 1 in n55
The increase in loudness is noticeable, but nothing drastic that you should be concerned about.
