I’m like you, I like the stock exhaust. The looks and everything. Order a J2 resonate mid pipe just for volume and tone. I do want to maybe add an exhaust later but it has to be the right one. My favorite right now it the TI from Remak but pretty expensive. Also waiting on Borla and Fujitsubo. Hope you make some drive by video. Any check engine lights?
Hey brother. AWE is making a 3 exit that looks promising. So is Borla, and RK Titanium. I'm still waiting to hear them all. AWE has a teaser as of yesterday, 1/25/24
I saw the AWE teaser! Looks promising. Hopefully these options will be affordable. Hard to beat $400 for a midpipe atm, since all our exhausts are $2500+. I'm not saying that isn't worth it, just hard to swallow you know! The midpipe is def a stopgap till the GREAT exhausts launch.
I got it from GR-Store, I ordered it custom with more OEM style grip profile so it's not as aggressive, but with the carbon fiber top and bottom and a flat bottom. Love it. I did another video about making the heater element plug-and-play, but they made all of them plug-and-play now!
@@Haloruler64 It’s possible. So how are you liking the car by the way? I love the car, but I wish I would have waited just a little longer to get a CE because those cars were hard to find at any dealer. Lately some have CE’s sitting on the lot.
@@DBX79 I love it! No regrets. I worry that the CE's suede interior would get damaged and grimy quickly as it's my daily driver. I've kinda been upgrading it here and there my own way and I'm in love with the car.
I'm sorry but that gap is unacceptable for $400.. they should have slip jointed it or SOMETHING. Otherwise, good video.. was looking for this as im looking for a midpipe.
@@Haloruler64 The sleeve does take up that space, but they could have R&D'd a slip joint and actually connected them (and still included the sleeve.) It's just a quality thing.. and a higher likelihood of exhaust leaks
@@culley65 Ah I see what you mean. Sorry I'm not all that familiar with exhaust systems and didn't know that the gap was not regarded well. Thanks for the info.
I actually didn't know 2J Racing offers one. Nor have I heard the best thing about 2J Racing, but that's all conjecture so I don't have negative feelings about em. I'm just a big fan of SXTH Element and love the amount of engineering and testing they do.
@@leozz8074 I plan to take more when I hang with friends next for sure. But tomorrow SXTH is discounting their GRC midpipe by 25%. I'm not affiliated in any way but I figured I'd let ya know. Wish I got that discount :P

I'll have to do some flybys soon! Hope you love the J2 midpipe. I'm also waiting for the right exhaust.
No CELs from the pipe.
Sounds great! Easy install too.... I NEED Quick Jacks... this reminded me again lol
They're so great, can't recommend them enough. I wish I had gotten them a decade ago when I first found out about them.
Great video! Love your content!

RK only has center exit or single driver exit, no 3
@@halorita it's in development. They talk about it in one of their videos. TOMs was supposedly aiming for spring for their 5 tip exhaust.
I know you mentioned it being louder inside the cabin, but how is it in terms of the drone that this car comes with? Awesome vid btw👌🏼👌🏼
The car drones stock, not during driving but during idle. That drone is a little stronger. But still 0 drone actually driving over 2000 RPM.
@@Haloruler64 thank you for the input! I’m looking forward to buying this in the future. Cheers!
I have the same one my man. Now I can already see rust on the clamp that connects both. Do you think that’s normal?
Hey brother where did you get that cool steering wheel mod? I'd love to have more grip on the steering wheel in my Core model. That looks amazing!

@@Haloruler64 I just saw your install video. That’s a bit much for me I think I’ll just leave mine stock, it was nice seeing the install though.
@@DBX79 for sure man. Thankfully you don't need to do any wiring anymore. It's relatively easy. Maybe you'll feel comfortable doing it down the line!

The gap between two pieces? Isn't the point of the sleeve to take up that space?

@@culley65 Ah I see what you mean. Sorry I'm not all that familiar with exhaust systems and didn't know that the gap was not regarded well. Thanks for the info.
@@Haloruler64 of course!
Nice add. What made you decide this one over the 2j racing?

I got a J2 coming but is sure taking a long time!!
@@JG-mg3if awesome, hope you love it!
I'm trying to decide between this mid pipe or the 2J pipe. Do you happen to have any other videos of how this sounds?

So does this part not need any tune?
Nope
Not a fan of the multi piece. J2 racing mid is 1000% better sound and one piece😊
