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.

vs OE 2nd cat:



In place:



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