Anyone have aftermarket midpipes and the sport exhaust from Factor? how we sounding ?

I ran it for a week or so, and it was just barely BARELY noticeable. I ended up putting on an APR catback soon after.

034Motorspords midpipes allow more sound to be projected, allowing shift farts to be much more notable. APR exhaust made it even better for all ranges.
For me there is a bit of a drone with that combination of exhaust components but inly at around 3000 rpm, thankfully the 7th gear makes the ride almost like stock with valves closed.
I keep valves mostly open anyway that's how quite it is when not under throttle.
Now if you modify the downpipe with the primary cat, that's a whole nother story.

Don't you need a tune if you mess with the downpipe ?

Youll get a CEL if you go catless, and even a HF might trip one every once in awhile.

There is no emulator for US rs3, European models that are fitted with OPF , there are OPF emulators so you can run aftermarket cats or catless I guess. This guy in particular has the emulator:
