Looked back longingly at it as I left it sitting in the Kroger parking lot because she refused to start...
What have you done to your MSP today?

Suck. Sorry to hear it.
Nice piece of equipment. How do you like it so far? Initial impressions? True what they say about increased power?
walked out of the house in the morning to go to school and saw more birdshit on my MSP....i swear, its a magnet for birdshite......everytime i clean it, it reappears like an hour later. Does anyone else have this problem??? I'm tired of cleaning it off everyday.

The secret is you just leave the stock ones on there, bolt them to the k-sports drop it on the ground and watch them bust into pieces... (sssh)

installed the Apex'i R1 3" catless this past weekend with new Corksport exhaust hangars.
First impressions: It's actually quieter than the vibrant i had before when normally driving, and from the cabin it's only slightly louder at wot although i have been told by others it's definitely louder. No real increase in boost, maybe like .5psi (im controlled by the electronic unichip bc, so maybe that helps). The car is actually noticeably faster especially up top which i did not expect a single hi-flow cat to make such a difference. The angled tip looks hawt as fawk and i love it, though the canister is way too huge in my opinion. It still looks great though and im lovin it, it has such a sexy sound to it -- just MEAN! no complaints so far except a mis-matched bolt/nut assembly, big tip, and a lovely smell when i come to a stop

did your Vibrant not have an angled tip? When I removed the high flow out of my Vibrant it got a little louder and you could def feel a difference in power without the cat.
well the tip was angled, yes. But on the Apexi, the exhaust come out at a angle facing up -- JDM stylez yo'. It looks sick. Although the 5.5" tip or whatever is just ludacris...
As for the sound, above 3krpm it's a little bit louder, but below 3krpm it's quieter. My theory is because it's just straight piping back to the muffler. The Vibrant had a cat and resonator, both quieting the sound from the exit (aka: behind and outside the car), but i feel like they probably added to the in-cabin vibrations (noise). And that's why the apexi sounds quieter to me, the driver.

Is it actually an old-school proper type-s or is it the new crappy RS version? (Blue vs. Purple). If its the RS, ditch it and get a real BOV (HKS SSQV). The RS gave me nothing but problems, I broke two of them, and well they are complete crap.
If its actually a type-s you should be alright. They are quality. But the SSQV's still sound a bit better imho!
Either way, good luck man!
