Mid America is a big out fit,,just give them a call and ask what their policy is if you are not happy with their product. Their phone people are usually quite knowledgeable and helpful.

I haven't confirmed, but it looks and sounds just like corsa.

I went with magnaflow 16732 b/c I didn't like the raspy sound of corsa.

I've seen the video's at the Mid America site, that is what got me interested in the system. They look a lot like the Corsa and sound good also. I was looking to see if anyone out there was running them or had any knowledge of them.

Thanks to all for the input.

I just installed the Qudra Power one (looks like a Borla Stinger) I got it from that "auction" site...the polished system is beautiful! 4 3.5" tips with rounded edges and beautiful welds...

It sounds just like a Borla Stinger as well...on the highway it does quiet down some, but it is not for the faint of heart...it is LOUD and AGGRESSIVE!

Mid America says it has a level of 2, 3, 1 (the 2 is louder then stock at idle, 3 is aggressive under acceleration and the 1 is at cruise) I don't think you actually see the 1 at highway speed though!

The jury is still out with the wife liking it though!

I decided on the Mid America QuadPower. I post these pictures in another post, but here is the finished product. They sound great
and look great. There is no drone cruising, nice rumble at idle and when you jump on it, it roars.

The complete system was on sale for $899.99 that also inclded the X-Pipe

Here are a few pictures of the complete system.

Mufflers and back side of tips.


The business end.

As I stated in my other post, I agree that they are aggressive while going through the gears, but that is what I like. However I have driven the car with the traga off and windows down as well as with the windows up and the air on, and in 5 or 6 gear at cruise they were like my old stock system.
