Spinning Sushi 08-15-2009, 01:37 PM The Scorpion Cat-back is similar to the the OEM exhaust. The piping diameter is same as stock, 2.5'' piping, the muffler is similar to the stock design and very baffled, and was designed for as an optional accessory to the PZ cars. That's probably the reason why it sounds quiet. rx8james89 08-15-2009, 01:41 PM So basically I should buy a resonated mid-pipe for it that should make it louder it sounds boring but looks good. Spinning Sushi 08-15-2009, 01:41 PM You can get a midpipe if you don't mide the CEL. rx8james89 08-15-2009, 01:55 PM I'm not worried about emissions I'll just swap them over when its M.O.T. time. 04RX8man 08-16-2009, 01:15 PM midpipe.....

They hate civic's that aren't the same year or Generation as theirs. I8U 08-22-2009, 03:22 PM ^HAHA, so true! PerformRX-8 08-25-2009, 06:05 PM Sorry that its not the sound you wanted. The best sounding exhausts are B&B,Greddy, Borla, and the Magnaflow that I have on, sometimes sounds like a muscle car. Best thing now is to buy a midpipe with an O2 Sensor.

No silencers just muzzle out the sound, it shouldn't restrict any performance. GL |
