They fit perfectly, don’t cost an arm and a leg, and REALLY do a nice job of cutting out drone and rasp. I’m 100% catless with one of the more aggressive axle-back sections on the market, and the midpipes cut out virtually all drone and rasp. When I just had the axle-back, it droned far worse than my current setup. I think they’d work very well with your car, you’d get a more exotic and refined tone up top, and it would certainly cut out a lot of the deep drone you’re dealing with now, though as you’ve found out a muffler delete will always have some drone. As far as welding resonators into the stock mids, Vibrant is well known and I know there are people here who have run them with 0 issues. If you keep your OE midpipes I’d suggest cutting out the secondary cats (useless) and replacing them with the resonators. Having the resonators also makes it easier if you decide to go full catless, as you don’t have to worry about the significant rasp they introduce.


Yes it is. I heard one this week end and I wanted to cry for what he did to the poor car
