I am in the same situation as you are. There has only been one sound clip so far posted by Mazsport, so I am hoping that a few more people can post up additional sound clips.
talk about bumed out...

I installed the midpipe today, and here are my concerns:
1) I have a clearance issue with the rear resonator hitting the OEM cross brace. This will generate a rattle and also wear a hole in the resonator. I think I will just add shims between the brace and the car's frame. Do you see that fix to be an answer?
2) I have a clearance issue with the rear resonator close to this shield. Might rattle here also one day.
3) Not sure about how to use the middle bung, it seems to high. It might have been rotated down 10-15 degrees, then it would be no problem. I'm not using a wideband currently, so this can be changed later buy just drilling in a new bung maybe.
4) I notice that you do not re-use the donut gasket between the midpipe and the exhaust connecting pipe. Not using one means that there is no flexible joint in the entire system. Do you have a 3" donut for me to use? If not where can I buy one?
Any suggestions?

1&2) You can go to autozone and by some header wrap and wrap the part of the muffler where it is going to touch the crossmember and that will stop it from rattline.
3) Wideband bungs are supposed to be high up (not lower than 9 or 3 o'clock) so they don't collect moisture when the car is cooling doen.

^ Thanks
Scott called me, excellent customer service I might add, and we went over each.
1) I lowered the brace about 1/2"
2) Once installed, I yanked on it pretty hard, and it did not come close enough to touch.
3) Yep, it's located that way to avoid moisture. Just make sure to install the sensor prior to installing the pipe.
4) Scott said that nobody has had problems here yet, so I'll keep an eye out on that one.
All in all, I am 100% happy with this purchase. I have my Racing Beat Dual off to get modified to downward firing tips currently, so no vids yet. I have my track single on at the moment, and that alone is a drone at certain loads. But it is coming off when I get my dual back on.
I was talking to Scott on my cell at 65 MPH and he could hear me just fine!
Thanks Scott for a wonderful product.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Do you think any additional heat shield of some type is warranted where it comes close to body parts as you have installed it? Perhaps reflective shield stuck to the under body anywhere?
So there is NO gasket from the header to the midpipe?
