After all those videos came out with the RB midpipe I was scared...I didn't want it to be all raspy and stuff. I am so happy with the tone though. Even on the highway at speed it was no louder than the stock cat which was nice. Cabin noise actually seems lower for some reason. *shrug* We def. need to do the video...may just make a special trip down next week to do that if you're free. Mad props to RB for recreating the Mazsport pipe so well.

 

I'm up for that John.
Maybe I'll bring home some heat resistant wire jackets so I can "shim" my exhaust tips out and not have them rattle.
The jackets are installed in our reflow ovens where the temps go up to 260 degrees Celsius, so it should be alright for my exhaust.

And TJ... not a bad catch you had there
Especially a girl who likes cars... can't go wrong there.
Hopefully this one works out better for you than the last.

 

Figure if we can work something out where I can come down early enough we could do a bunch of videos in and out or something. I dunno. I really do want to play hide the RB midpipe though.

 

That's cool... and I have a good stretch of road we can make some in-car video shots with too.
Its where I do my AP data logs.

 

Works for me...I'm off Thurs - Sat with an open schedule.

 

I actually have Thursday (night) off.
Yulia mentioned something about watching the kid Friday or Saturday because she wants to work overtime.
So if Thursday isn't good for you, I'll have to get with Yulia and see when I need to play babysitter

 

Thurs works just fine for me...just let me know when.

 

How early is too early for you.

 

8AM because traffic sucked...9 should be ok though.

 

I don't know if I can work all night, stay up until 9am, and spend several hours with our cars.
I usually consider going to bed by 9am
So maybe we should make it for 3pm then.

 

Certainly fine by me as well.

 

Maybe I can get Charles to send me a BHR mid-pipe and we can have a "three-way" since we have three cars with the AP cat-back.
Best way to compare the top three.

 

Agree'd...but who's we takin off? Im pretty sure you and Steve want no part of mine for a while. :P

 

If Charles actually wanted to send me a mid-pipe to give a fair and honest comparison between the three, I would gladly volunteer to install it on my car.

 

That comparison could really help him or really hurt him though. With all the time and money already spent on something that he is building to what he wants I don't know if he will want the info. *shrug* We can always offer though.

 

LOL.. I honestly don't think he'll go for that either.
I like the guy and what his group does for the club, but if given the opportunity, I will be 100% honest with the three mid-pipes and I don't think he'll take that risk.

 

haha thanks man i would definately agree, shes coming with me tomorow to the meet so hopefully it'll work out.
but thanks for all the help today jon and everyone else. took the car for a spin not too long ago and its running better than ive ever seen it. couldnt do it with out you guys

 

saw this disaster at speedway on belmont in youngstown today

 

John: Yeah.. I must say, RB did a very good job. It has the sound of the mazsport (slightly better perhaps) using smaller resonators and allow you to keep your cross supports.

Like Jon said though... Its not a big enough difference that I would change from the mazsport. Also, I like the mazsport rear gasket better.

But, I will say this: I remember putting on the Mazsport pipe for the first time when I had my RB catback still and going "damn it, that is not what I was expecting."
Catless midpipe plays a huge role in the exhaust note and tone... but never discount the catback and the roll it plays. As Jon and I, and now John can tell you, its about the combination of midpipe with catback.

TJ: hope you liked your smoke show! Car should idle smoother and get slightly better throttle response with the seafoam through the engine+fuel system. I know my bike liked the left overs!

Lastly; better watch out for Jon around your new girl, he seemed to really be impressed with that flashlight.

Ok, time to drop the driver seat into the Bronco and start heading to the "west side" to look at those tools. See you in a few.
Chance of rain: 80%, strong storms.

 

Thunder is already here :P

 

yeah i heard about those strong storms, john said i suppose we'll get wet then. hope there not too bad is all im asking for

 

Bring a tent if you, or your lady, have one TJ. Might keep you dry as there is only one pavilion on the grounds and it is normally full of pplz. Hopefully the weather scares ppl off the beach though.

 

hmmm not sure i have one of those. will you be bringing one by chance?

 

I was hoping to get one from my rents yesterday but mum says they pitched it...no idea why.

 

I feel like a dirt old man!
And hey... that flashlight was impressive!
Wouldn't think you could get that much CP from such a little thing.
