Interesting. I've heard mixed reviews from switching the stock PE tips to a larger diameter. Although Dimisa are single walled similar to normal PE tips which could have something to do with it.

Did tone change?

I have what you have. I love it. Loud enough to be fun (esp with with the top down) but too loud that drones in the car with top up. But I get what you are saying.

thats mine

Sounds good in that garage!

Pe90X · 12-14-2013, 02:22 AM

sounds excellent?

Did you get the x-pipe with the PE exhaust ? Mine is pretty loud but I also have AR DPs

Never mind...I can see now that you have a coupe.

I have catless dps, kept secondary cats but installed performance exhaust with xpipe. Mine is loud. Not really drone but loud. Sounds pretty good. Cold starts could wake the dead though!

Hey OP, just wondering if you decided to stick with the 2nd cat delete?
Is there any increased drone in your setup?

NocturnalEVO · 02-25-2014, 07:50 PM

for now i have decided to stick with the 2nd cat delete as it sounds awesome.
There is slight drone on the highway around 75-80mph, but a slight modulation of the throttle takes care of it.

we'll see how it is in the spring time with the windows open.
