Dual to Single Midpipe conversion!

After researching on which brand of midpipes to upgrade to I finally decided to do something a bit different...

I thought the price for the Berk Mids were overpriced, to say the least. I also did not like the whole idea of two pipes connecting to one. So I decided to make almost a replica of the discontinued Riss Racing Midpipe!

Luckily I have a buddy who is amazing at tig welds so was ready for the task!

I went with a 3" single pipe that I had connect with a vibrant resonator as my only restriction on the exhaust.

Next step is to remove the Berk race and replace that also with a single 3" pipe.

Everything came out to a total of less than $300!

Here are some pictures:

Not sure of the exact measurements but you can tell for yourself in the first picture.

No rasp! Car sounds incredible IMO. Very loud though. Might add another resonator when I do the axle back portion.

Would you mind doing some logs? One with the stock mid and one with the custom single?
