Mid-pipe ?'s

I want to get a High Flow mid pipe setup. I know magnaflow makes a set that fits onto the stock setup (I think) are there any other companies that sell a Mid-Pipe. I also here the Mag pipe is way over priced..I also want it to be stainless steel the rest of my exhaust is already
I have a cat back already and don't want to spend the coin for long tubes power/$$$$ don't add up for me but would like a little more sound..
Thanks
Slick

The magnaflow isnt too bad on the price, i think i got mine for 299 plus shipping. And its all stainless. Fit was perfect, installed it the same time as my catback. Got it from **** on nloc he is under the vendor section.

I also have the Magnaflow pipes. I am skeptical about ANY high flow converter with continuous use on a 400RWHP truck. Eventually they will go bad, but then at that point I will just cut them out.

Here are a few sound clips of before and after the mid pipes:

Bassani also makes mid pipes but they are much more expensive and their cats suck. They do make an off-road version for around $350, which is a total rip off if you ask me for some mandrel bent tubing and NO cats.

Wow TWR! That's a good video and the sound is awesome.

I can't wait to get my 02 running that good. It the transmission valve necessary to make it catch second that hard? How is it to live with the valve mod on a day to day basis?

Thanks, that was a fun little video to make.

The FTVB makes all the difference in the world. I personally love the firmer shifts in daily driving and I think it is very livable, but I have heard some say that it is a bit harsh for them around town. To each his own I guess.

It reduces heat in the transmission by reducing slippage at the shifts, and that is the biggest thing for me. The 1-2 bark is a nice bonus
