Just put an obd 2 midpipe and a rogue catback on the car. So far I am loving it and it sounds ridiculously good. yes it drones, but only when you are lugging it around 2,000 rpm.

Video audio is kind of blown out. There will be a better video soon.

Quick question though.
My first drive with it on my car was stumbling pretty bad, had no power, and sounded like a wrx. So then I got on it just to clear it out. Now every once in a while at a stop light or just idling the car will miss for a few seconds then run smooth again.
I welded in the O2 sensor on the drivers side pipe pre-cat where it would have been on my old obd 1 midpipe. Then I plugged the post cat bungs with bolts. I checked for exhaust leaks at all the connections and there was no leaks at all. Do you guys think it has something to do with only getting a reading from the one pipe? or the car just has to adapt?

Sounds sick! :buttrock

I'd say throw an X pipe in the system rather than the stock H pipe, and it should clean it up even more.

Exhaust sounds nice, actually one of the better executed exhaust videos I've seen. Do you have a 6 speed? maybe your just in 4th, but it looks like you are in 6th. Do you have a euro M3?

5 speed, us m3. I have the 5th gear detent problem where the shifter rests further to the right.

Sounds awesome! Did you reset the computer after you bolted on the exhaust?

I think the exhaust sounds great! Also, the video is nice. That is how you make an exhaust video! Inside the cabin, outside, driving slow, driving fast, you showed it all.
