No midpipe includes the rear bolts that im aware of because you use the same ones.

Nice install though

eh thats RP though.. more of a rotary specific for our car kinda thing.

Something like a hymee system or RP or whatever would probably have the bolts (mazsport maybe)

but anything like borla, racing beat, exoticspeed, agency power, people who make things for all kinds of cars usually dont.

Grats!
It would be nice if You could take some videos from outside.
By the way what is the setup? Only the midpipe and stock cat back? It seems that the CEL does not go on...

I have MazdaManiac's maps. No CEL for me!

After 4k it gets much louder then the Greddy SP2 is normally.

Greddy SP2. Yea i'll take some outside videos today. It was like 10pm when i got the race pipe installed.

I had to cut a nut that had stripped off, which was a PIA.

Lololol, no I was just revving, and then i was like f##k it, I'll do a 3rd gear pull. Then i was looking at the camera, rather then the tac and didn't let off on the gas quick enough.

Recording and driving don't play nice!

How does the sound of this compare to the SP2 with the RP supercat?

You mean the differences between the RP SuperCat and the ExoticSpeed Race Pipe, right?

If so, first things first, I don't get that annoying rattle from the heatsheild of the SuperCat. The tone has changed from the SuperCat to the ExoticSpeed. Now past 4k, its a clear 'BRAP' noise :lol:.

The tone of the Sp2 is still intact, but its ranges have been extended both high and low.

I will try and take more vids after work.

Not at all, which makes me very happy.

Very nice man. Make sure you have everything ready. A little WD-40 makes any exhaust install x100 easier.

Does anybody knows if the gasket's kit that sells brice of Fluidmotorsports will fit on this Midpipe ?


Question can look stupid, i know, just wanna be sure, i don't see why this wouldn't but i'm close to command this piece and as i live far away from US, i wouldn't have any bad surprise. ;)


Really nice part TBH, good buy. ^^


Is it a 3" diameter part ?

I actually just ordered some of those gaskets. But yea they will work. As with any OEM fitting midpipe. Plus those gaskets are under a warranty with Fluid for a year.

Yes it is a 3in pipe. And omg it is awesome.

Nice , thanks for the videos man :).

Np, i pissed my neighbors off with the last vid. It was completely silent in my neighborhood when i started reving away.

sounds good dude

ty, ty.
