Last bit swapped before first track day this year.

Grabbed a Top Speed 2nd cat delete stainless pipe set. I usually am wary of parts from SE Asia, but these fit right and gave me no problem on install, so lets see if they hold up in running. I replaced the kit hardware with some stainless units, and these pipes sit unshielded a bit closer to the CV boot. I may do a local heat shield wrap to protect them.

As most know, using these pipes sheds a small amount of weight, and helps the sound be a bit more basso on the bottom and angry at the top. The idle dosent change much so in town it isnt annoying, and I havent had a resonance yet. At some point I may consider a muffler unit, as i could shed more weight, but this suits my needs at the moment.

All done. Not the easiest job on jackstands, but some patience and long extension for the 13mm will get it done
