Received another replacement mid-pipe under warranty from Mann Engineering / Milltek. I asked if they could send me a non-resonated midpipe this time since the resonator broke in the same spot on the two resonated ones I've had. They agreed to do so and put a non-resonated pipe in the mail earlier this week-- I received it from England today. Very impressed with the customer service from both companies: literally all I had to do was send them a picture of the failed pipe and the serial number and they took it from there. The next thing I had to do was carry the package in from my doorstep. Definitely a stark contrast to trying to deal with replacements for electronics / PC components...

Anyway, since I figured I'm one of the few people to have both exhaust setups available, I made a video of this one as well to go along with the one I made a while ago of the resonated setup. Here it is:

Sorry the audio quality isn't great. I used the same mic / camera / location as the first video so that hopefully people can make a better comparison between the two.

Personally, I think I like the sound of this system better than the resonated one (it's a bit louder, and you can hear more of a distinct exhaust note than you could with the resonated version. I need to go for some drives though and see how it is to live with on a regular basis before I can really make a more in-depth comparison.

Oh, and the straight midpipe feels a lot lighter than the one with the resonator

Not saying who, but a certain someone peed on my seat today... lol

Btw, anyone know how to get rid of the smell that's safe on the brz seats? The cleaner I used didn't get rid of the smell. Not sure if the pet odor remover I have will damage it.

20/25mm set up. I just got finished so sorry for the bad pictures. I'll clean the car and take better shots tomorrow.

@Choco Well it clearly wasn't the dog, just look at that innocent look. You need potty training.

Currently working on it. 10 week olds can't hold their peed that long.

A little bit of pee in the seat is a small sacrifice for a lifelong sidekick.

Nice. Are you liking them? I was thinking of getting the same thing for my car. Haven't convinced myself to throw money at what's basically a purely cosmetic issue yet, though. The stance sure looks better though!

You'll need to get that seat shampoo'ed/steamed as soon as possible before the odor gets to the cushion (sponge) part of the seat... Being a detailer, I hate to say this but most of the dog owners who brings in their vehicles often just use simple green on their seats, do not do that, ever.

Good luck!

If you plan on running stock wheels for a while then go for it. The wheel and suspension set up I'm going for will take me another year and a half so these will tide me over while I save up.

I'm not running stock wheels, but they're stock offsets I think, so I assume the spacers would have the same effect. I just don't like how wheels using the stock offsets look like they're hiding inside the wheel wells.
