Dual to Single Midpipe conversion!
After researching on which brand of midpipes to upgrade to I finally decided to do something a bit different...
I thought the price for the Berk Mids were overpriced, to say the least. I also did not like the whole idea of two pipes connecting to one. So I decided to make almost a replica of the discontinued Riss Racing Midpipe! Luckily I have a buddy who is amazing at tig welds so was ready for the task! I went with a 3" single pipe that I had connect with a vibrant resonator as my only restriction on the exhaust. Next step is to remove the Berk race and replace that also with a single 3" pipe. Everything came out to a total of less than $300! Here are some pictures: YouTube clip of it:

Would you mind doing some logs? One with the stock mid and one with the custom single?
