someone post up a pic of this bad boy - f**k the politics !

 

yeah, you guys are talking about this thing like it's God's gift to the RX-8 community yet there NO pics and very few details.

My thoughts: If scott sold it to FORUM MEMBERS, he surely must have known that pictures would be posted.

 

^For real,

all talk and no pictures makes Juice a dull boy.

 

Yeah, I am really annoyed with all this secretive B.S.

The secret should be over once people start buying them.

 

yea the secret is a lil much, but might as well wait until scott wants to announce it. it's not like scott wanted people to start this thread.

 

The thread was started by me in response to my discovering an impressive product for those that are interested in such things. The pipe is not a "secret", all you have to do is to call Mazsport.
Good product designs have a way of being copied and out of respect for Scott and his work I will not post a picture to satisfy someone curiosity.
If someone is that curious it doesnt take much effort to dial a 800 # .

Did you have our resonated pipe? If you didint I could have welded in a couple of resonaters for $50.

I have never seen people get so excited about a straight pipe with resonators in it.

 

I do not think poeple are getting excited about Mazsports Double Resonated Mid-Pipe. I think they are excited to see it. I would like to see a Resonated High Flow Cat that will not set off the CEL. So i can stay emissions legal here in NJ.

 

I think the excitment is about the possibility of a midpipe that allows use of catback exhaust within reasonable and also perhaps legal sound db limits. If the workmanship is good and $$ good it could be a big seller.

If it is not a patentable then saying it's for sale, but not advertising and showing the product to other potential customers here on the forum is either shooting oneself in the foot or extra clever marketing to get viral attention, take your pick.

 

Then why start the thread? Seems stupid to me.

 

Well I suppose the cat's out of the bag on this one.

I have not released the product yet which is the reason for a lack of photos, I guess the excitement is too much for some folks.

I will say it's very quiet, very lightweight and of course looks the part as well. It has enabled some of the testers to actually use their cell phones again! Construction is as with all Mazsport products from high quality materials.

We will be releasing it the first of this week and appreciate your interest.

 

i am flying back into tampa monday. i could take some photos for you...

beers

 

i'll take it that this is quite similar to the Rotary Engineering mid-section of old? ... adjusted for the 2008 "tech-driven, bling-generation", of course ...

 

pussies! booooo!

seriously though, it sounds like a good product. outsiders may get lost in the loyalty of your following, but even reading between the lines, it sounds like a good product. i guess my only questions are:

(1) we've heard how quiet it is, but how much aggression shines through? i mean, i guess i'm beyond my younger days where loud was fine, but i do love aggression - and that won't change - even if i'm driving for "another" 20 years. i don't give a crap about the attention ... it's just a part of me. Ferrari 308s, Lambo Miuras, track-driven 911s, VWs ... i need some sound!!!

(2) compatibility with other rear sections or are they all the same? i ask because i'm in the transition between Turbo XS and Exotic Speed ... also considering JIC.

thanks.

 

I have a double resonated agency power mid pipe as well, it is really nice looking and even after driving with it for 10k miles it still looks really nice, no fading or anything. The only thing is it sounds like a scene from Texas Chain Saw Massacre! It makes me feel like I have something in common with the high school kids with 5 inch tip on their 109 hp 1996 Honda Civic DX!

Is this new Mazsport supposed to sound a lot better than this?

For a warranty repair I reinstalled my stock cats but left the agency power mufflers on and my car sounds great now. It sounds similar to the exhaust note of a porche 911 turbo, but I miss the faster reving of a free flowing Rotary. If your midpipe sounds even close to mine right now I'll take one. It will be the perfect median of sporty sound with performance without being obnoxious.

 

info. is suppose to be up today on the site correct? I cant seem to find it........ any updates scott??

 

This thread is useless with out Pictures

 

hi scott... expect a call tomorrow, hope our schedules don't conflict again.

to everyone anxious about info, sit tight- they have a ton going on down there as it is...

 

I wonder a few things; 1) If the two resonators being used are designed to cancel out different center frequencies. 2) If the midship pipe hanger is used. My old-*** midpipe doesn't have one. 3) If the pipe is a true 3" that requires either a larger braided gasket or the factory unit to be stretched like I did with mine.

Anybody able to answer these queries?

 

have not seen, but did drop by the shop today.. no one home..

they were working on some other things outside the shop.. thx for the return call betsy.

but i would go with ding, ding, ding. on the concept..


beers

 

If they are, the use of dual silencers does not reduce the airflow potential while it does cancel out the annoying(to some) frequencies.

 

The Agency Power 3" one doesn't seem to cancel out any frequencies if it is canceling out any then I couldn't imagine the annoying sound my car would make if it didn't have the 2 resonators. Did I mention how annoying my car sounds?

My AP midpipe bolts right in without and difference in couplings or flanges. When swapping the stock cat pipe back in everything was the same including the bolts used, we even used the same gaskets because its just temporary.

The agency power full exhaust did give me 12.5 RWHP and if this Mazsport one sounds better and performs the same or better that would be great.

 

In the Mazsport section, there was a thread started about this product about 2 weeks ago. A link to a YouTube video, was provided, that had a fly-by of a car with the midpipe on it. It sounded quite nice. There is no way to tell how loud it was, from the vid, without a comparison. The thread was deleted and the video is nolonger available.

 

When I last saw the Agency Power, it was just resonance chambers, they were not packed with anything.

I surmise that the Mazsport ones are packed with stainless scrub or something of the like.

 

Through I do have a straight pipe, and I can say it is definitely louder than the agency power. Yet the muffler itself has stuff to do with noise as well.
