Mid Pipe Recommendations?

2011 Views 12 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  Socalaviator
I'm a bit overwhelmed right now at the abundance of mid pipes for sale. According to several tuners they say HP increases will be about the same-from Chinese no name to expensive Name brand. I would like my GTR to be much louder. Currently I have a Stillen exhaust and KnN drop in filters with no other mods.

Suggestions?

much louder - straight through midpipe + catless downpipes

live'able louder - cobb catted midpipe + catless downpipes

I have the AAM non-resonated mid pipe and I LOVE IT! The sound on the 2012 is a major improvement!
I'm currently running a friend's used MXP non-res mid on my 2012, and it's definitely a GREAT improvement along with the TiTek Race Exhaust! Will be switching out to the TiTek mid soon, but if you want a pretty bang for the buck mid, MXP would be a great option. Sounds much more aggressive but still does not have any heavy drone
I am running HKS Non resonated mid-pipe. Awsome sound.
The mid-pipe is much lighter than the OEM's.
I had asked in previous forums whether this set up makes the torque at low end suffer (my subjective feeling)
General concensus was that it won't.
A quick search of the net for people who have dyno'ed their cars seems to prove there are mild power gains.

+1 the AAM Competition non-resonated mid pipe is a proven design that is priced reasonably: http://aamcompetition.com/i-4560643-aam-competition-gt-r-non-res-midpipe.html

Is your mid pipe an easy DIY job for someone with decent tools and facilities but not the most mechanically inclined. Looking to run 10.90's this fall with cool weather and want to use minimal mod's. Ran 11.29 at 125 mph (1.73 60 ft) in 85 degree weather (roughly 2,500 DA) so expect to pick up 2 tenths with cool low humidity weather and better 60 foot. Need another tenth or so. Will this do the job on my 2012?
Also using the AAM non-res mid-pipe. Very happy with it.
Wow AAM sounds like the way to go! What type of HP Gains can be expected with a mid pipe, exhaust and Cobb stage 2? Any experiences?
btw, thanks guys for the input!

Around 100 additional hp if you opt for a custom tune with those mods.
Thanks for info!
