They kept the number of bends down in that piece which is why it is popular. As they've been doing tests with the header, they're seeing gains in other parts of the exhaust, even with different midpipes. They still are having to find time to test these options inbetween fulfilling orders because they are swamped. I'm interested in seeing the way the midpipe affects the entire exhaust because the stock one seems very restrictive with the bends and the size. They want to custom fabricate a resonator that's not off the shelf for the 3" midpipe section to match the 5" mufflers which should keep the sound to bearable but loud levels.

The 3" downpipe they plan on adding an additional resonator to keep the sound levels down with the header and a full 3" system.
