    I got it and it's great, it doesn't shift hard unless its under medium load. Still going in for inspection but its not as bad as expected.

    Do any of you think the straight pipe would cause strange idle or any other problems?

    Do a transmission flush at the dealer and see if the hard shifting goes away. The milage justifies one anyway.
