Why didn't you mount the camera in the same location for both runs?
The N55 sound very similar to the Berks.

Its a huge difference IMO.
A lot more exhaust note inside the vehicle also, which I love as it is not my DD. Gurgling and back pressure note is crisp clean and sounds clean. No raspy sound, and retains all OEM parts Cheers! |

Why not just save the cost on the midpipe and just have a muffler shop cut the cats out, straight pipe it, then go to the scrap yard and make your cost back with selling the cats? why waste all that money on a factory midpipe? |

For me personally, I wanted the option to easily return to stock. If it weren't for that damned sheared bolt, I would have had mine swapped out in under 45 minutes and I was alone and not moving with much of a purpose.

I guess. Wasnt suggesting a DIY, just to have a shop do it for them. My local muffler shop charged 50 bucks to cut out the two cats and weld in straight pipes in their place and then I tunred around and made more than that at the scrap yard selling them my cat converters.

"Levels" are not checked in NY. Readiness and no-CEL is checked via OBDII, a visual is performed which is a joke. Our exhausts are not sniffed. The front cats are good enough to pass even a sniff in a tree hugging state, the rear O2's are upstream of the secondary cats.
