ZPI Midpipe

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

Anyone have or know someone with the ZPI midpipe, I have an Injen CAI and the TRD axle back and would like to know if this would be a good upgrade to make the exhaust flow a little better, any help will be appreciated. Also I was looking at the ZPI S pipe as well any suggestions there would be a great help too. Thanks!

I bought it from ZPI and was not impressed with the quality. They said it was farmed out to another shop becuase they were so busy. I believe that cause it was at a time when they were racing, developing the Versa, and doing that ESPN3 O-Cho show. The pipe was Stainless Steel and mandrel bent, but the hangers and flanges were mild steel (rusted ugly). The welds were very poor with burn-thru, slag, burrs, you name it. When compared to the OEM mid-pipe, it was the proper geometry but about 1/2" shorter. I installed it on my car to take with me to Jotech so that they could reuse the pipe and save me money. Let me tell you. It was way beyond loud. The roar on the highway was so deafening that I had to wear hearing protection.

I think I'll save the $299 and put it toward something else, thanks for the input.
