Where to buy aftermarket mid-pipe?
 
I currently have a Borla axleback (bolts right up to stock location) and wanted to upgrade just the mid-pipe as well. Any recommendation on where and what to buy? Would have to have a resonator, I want it quiet. Thanks.

i know @WORKS has separate mid pipe (from their axlebacks) but cant say if it has resonator OR if it will fit with your existing hardware

your stock midpipe is resonated.

I know, I'm saying I want a larger diameter aftermarket pipe that is resonated as well.

Your stock mid-pipe starts out as 2.5" and the stock resonator is 2.5". The mid pipe necks down after the resonator to between 2" and 2.25". If you really want to keep it 2.5" all the way through, save yourself the money and find a local exhaust fabricator that uses mandrel bends, and they can run you a new 2.5" pipe from the back of the resonator to the flange on your Borla. It shouldn't cost you more than 2 hours of labor and a few dollars for materials. Hourly exhaust fabrication labor costs vary too much across the country, but I wouldn't pay a penny more than $100 to have that done.

The stock resonator is damn good.

Considering the number of people that practically give away their stock exhausts, this is the best advice.

Thanks for the mention :thumbsup:

Our mid pipe works with the stock exhaust components (2013-2016 years) so will work with your axle back and does use a resonator.

Only thing that may be a curve ball is if your axle back has a thick flange which may result in you needing longer bolts.

Leg Sport also sells one in 60.5 mm (either 60 or 60.5, can't remember). Ft86sf carries it

Because catbacks are extremely expensive?

I had a Works axleback and a custom single exit before I ponied up for a full catback.

It's hard to justify the price for no performance gain. I only got mine to quiet down the rest of my exhaust which is not the case for people who don't have any aftermarket exhaust parts.

Because I bought it for $25 and it can always be upgraded. That's why.
