I actually am, but I'm also TERRIFIED.

No way!!! Did it hurt to get fixed? Did it affect your performance per say...?
I've been thinking about it...don't want to have any oopsies...
It is uncomfortable for a day or two. The trick is to do NOTHING for two days. I sat on the couch with a bag of frozen peas between my legs to make sure there was no swelling and got waited on hand and foot for the whole time. The only time I got up was to go to the bathroom or up to bed. The only guys I've ever heard of who had trouble were the idiots who left the doctor's office and thought "hey, I have the day off, I'll go play golf."
There was no change in performance.
Getting unfixed is a bigger deal than getting snipped was. I'll have to be out of work for a week (and I sit at a desk) and there is no guarantee it will work.

OK, back to the regularly scheduled program...

As far as the backfiring goes. All I have is a race pipe, a CAI, and a BOV and I get small pops when it's really cold and I first start it.

back on topic, i have asked corksport if they are going to make a midpipe with a high flow cat and they said possibly, they are looking into it now. i am sure if more people ask them they will get on it more quickly. i would love to have their downpipe but since i haven't seen any high flow catted mid pipes besides custom ones then i have held off.

I have the catted DP with the stock CBE and on cold starts I getting the SRT popping (which I love); occasionally, I'll get them when the engine is hot too. I'm hoping when I get my CBE, that it will do it more!!
I already got my catted DP... If CS would have made one a few months ago, they would have gotten my money!!

Yes yours were the ones i watched when i decided to order the cpe system lol but they do sound different, it could very well be the low quality camera that i have effecting the tone although i find watching my videos it to sound fairly close to what it is like inside/outside the car.
in car vid to contrast to your in car vid

only difference is that i don't have a bpv which shouldn't matter anyways
Question about CEL issues.......
How hard would it be to have a say...SS magnaflow or the like........high flow cat welded into the CS mid pipe? And what happens when you install a CS or TurboXS down pipe and you have no pre cat? Any CEL issues? As long as you have a cat in the mid pipe you won't get an O2 sensor/rich or what ever you call it CEL right???
Thanks......

Yeah I emailed them a few days ago. Derrick said he was fwding it to the R&D Dept to see what he could get going.
I guess anyone who guys the CS midpipe could always get a high flow cat welded in locally, but I would prefer to just have it come that way straight from them.

putting a cat in the testpipe would NOT do a damn thing for your oxygen sensors sense they are both in the downpipe and just monitor the main cat in there. and I have yet to see a Check engine light with either downpipe cp-e or corksport.
Nope the car is on jack stands for winter and my living room is filling up with parts. If I installed now i don't have the discipline to not drive on the crappy salty snowy roads. Sorry. I must stay strong.
