Well,
I am still working on my 2.5" exhaust.
Thanks to someone I will not name, i didn't get the TT 2.5" down pipe (used), so i forked up the brand new one from Germanautoparts.com (cheapest I can find new). Put on the test pipe, down pipe and straight to a magna flow exhaust. I also installed a O2 sensor sim on the back side so i wouldn't get a CEL.
I drove the 5 miles back to my house from the garage I was doing this at and notice 3 things. More top end with more lag on the bottom, VERY FRICKEN Loud with a hard vibration from 2500 to 2900 RPMs under load only, and I got a CEL. Didn't scan the car yet, but I am sure it is for the Cat being taken out.
For the loudness, I am planning on picking up a Resonator ASAP. My wife officially will not drive the car now (yes, it is THAT loud).
The vibration... I have no idea. the exhaust is using all the factory mounting hangers.
Is there something special I should know other then thread in the O2 sensor adapter, then the O2 sensor, tighten, plug in. done.
