The equal length midpipe from @TheActiveAutowerke really is a gorgeous piece of automotive engineering! When I was given a chance to install one into my car, I leapt at the opportunity even though I already had the excellent single channel installed. BOTH options are very good, but provide different sound characteristics for sure.

I wanted to share the full install DIY so you can easily do this yourself!

Make sure to check out my full sound comparison video linked below, to hear all of the various differences!

This is a job you can easily do yourself, and I strongly encourage you to upgrade from the OEM setup to this quality sound!
