Default Homemade midpipe question.

I got a midpipe made by a exhaust man. It is a highmount. Since it is not made by Big COmpanys, do you think my performance will be different than if i had a jardine midpipe? Thanks

Due to the hyroforming techniques employed by the big manufacturers the back pressure airwave tolerances are measured to micromillimeters and therefore any non OE pipe will reduce the power through the exhaust - sometimes as much as 20% - so expect a massive drop in performance

that's just mean... i like it.

As for the question, i don't think that you are going to have any problems in performance. But, the high mount pipes do restrict flow more than lower mounted ones. So, it shouldn't be any worse than going with a manufactures high mount mid pipe. I think......
