After a month or so of dreading a rear main seal leak. I was finally able to get under the car to find out that it is my Oil Seal on my driver side axle. THANK GOD. that is about 500$ difference in a repair bill. I also installed an SPT axle back *thanks to ant)* , after installing it I noticed i had a "farting" noise coming from my midpipe. so i decided the hell with it, and I ordered a stromung stainless midpipe.

and Since I will be saving like 500$ from repairs i thought i had to make, I will be able to buy some borla headers to top it all off. I hope to have the high flow cat to match the full set by Christmas.

Is there any real benefit to the stainless mid-pipe?

lack of corrosion. No resonator will makebsome more grumble too

Oh gotcha. Is the resonator restrictive at all? I'd imagine the midpipe is an easy replacement to do on your own?

So let me see if I get this straight for the exhaust system.

Headers-->cat-->midpipe-->axel back exhaust?

I'd love to hear your car after the new midpipe with the SPT.

Header. Front cat. Rear cat. 3rd cat on California models. Mid pipe. axle back. I'd assume the resonator restricts flow some too
