Gah, i'm now jealous, just had to go and put my unmodified rear muffler back on the car after i fitted my ART and XYZ pipes.
The rear muffler (modified straight through) was causing massive amounts of resonance drone and was generally really obnoxious without a good sound.
Now even with those clearly better pipes, it's back to annoyingly quiet, within a nats whisker of being stock volume
I yearn for the Shockwave to finish out my Motordyne car

I didn't lose any low end torque. It felt like i gained some low end. Now when I floor it around 2k rpms, I can break traction in first. I mostly felt it at about 4.5k rpm. I could never break traction as easily as i can now.
Has anyone come up with a solution to raising the mid-pipe of the exhaust? Its almost time for me to drop the car, and if i lower any more than 1 inch, then the midpipe will be so close to touching the ground, its too low already. Let me know if anyone had fixed this!

Hey Z Fo Sho, I'm lookin into getting this exhaust as well and actually live in the STL area too. Just wondering how you're passing inspection with those test pipes or if your just switching the exhaust before inspection.

You need to loosen them up and shove the joint up high, completely re-fasten if you need to, but clamp it up quick whilst you hold it or have someone else fasten it tight whilst you hold it.
I too can confirm feeling a little peppier low down, no torque feels like it was lost.

Yeah, basically you can gas seal v-band clamps without them being fully connected/straight.
