How do you like this vs stock? Big improvement? And since youre LCI (did you get the valve controller?) or still using stock Valve actuation? Most difficult part about this car is how quiet it is..can barely hear the exhaust (minus the fake sound from speakers) when even on full throttle with windows closed..

It's a great improvement. In terms of volume improvement, on comfort it's not a lot louder (~10-15%). On Sport + it's maybe a ~20-30% improvement. WOT on Sport + sounds fantastic. I have a valve controller coming but it is currently system controlled and as we know, the valves don't open fully. I'm assuming opening them up completely will increase volume.

Just got my AA single non-resonated mid pipe installed yesterday. All I can say is all of the clips do not do it justice. It is so much louder.

Huge shout out to Val and the guys over at A&L auto body for the quick turn around. If anyone in or near Chicago needs any bodywork or light engine/ exhaust mods done I couldn't recommend them enough.

I do have a question, has anyone dyno'd their car pre and post install? I'd be curious to know how much power this adds.

So with stock downpipes the recommendation is to go with the non res AA mid-pipe? Getting ready to order one but wanted to confirm there is no smell from deleting the secondary cat's, codes thrown and will still pass emissions testing (located in the midwest)?

I went the with non-resonated on mine with stock downpipes. It was delivered on Saturday and I had it put on yesterday. No leaks, codes, or smell. It sounds fantastic.
