Previously I owned the Megan midpipe on my 02 SpecV, so I decided to email tunerpros.com and ask them if they will design an aftermarket midpipe for the 2.5's. After finally looking at the stock midpipe on the coupe, I noticed how restricted it is. Most of the stock piping seems to be flat..wtf LOL. I will let ya know what I can find out.

This is the design for the 02-06 Nissan SpecV's

Stock midpipe

well im not sure of all the exact names for the piping.. but when i got my nismo catback.. there were 3 pieces... the muffler.. and 2 long pipes.. the one thats closest to the front of the car... was flattened on one side (the side that faces up, or the body) for roughly a foot on both stock and nismo piping

The midpipe is the piece between the end of the header and the beginning of the cat-back.

Im still waiting for a reply from tunerpros.com to see if they plan on making one for the coupe. If not, I'll have a local performance shop fab one for me.
