Is anyone out there using a stock gutted downpipe and midpipe with the Stage 2 map?

I'm thinking about this combo. Not because of the cost (downpipes seem fairly inexpensive), but because of the stealth factor since I live in California.

 

Hey,

I'm in Cali too, and stealth was a main concern on my end. After a lot of research I bought this:

Not only is it quiet (it does change the note of the exhaust a bit and frees up the sound of the boxer engine, especially coupled with new ic pipe) but it's stealth. The exhaust is very well crafted and clean. Plus Rich, the guy who runs the company is very easy to work with.

I am using the stock 05 axel back too, and currently running stage 2 cali map with the accesport. Good set up imo.
