I was just wondering if any of you NYC guys were driving around with midpipes? I'm curious to know if cops in NYC, especially Queens, even care about exhaust noise? Anyone been ticketed for noise pollution?

 

yes, for this one and my first rx8 and I never had a problem. i'm in queens btw.

probably because it's the dual resonated racing beat one and it's VERY tame...

I however HAVE been pulled over.. by unsuspecting motorists (by flashing their high beams) because I constantly am shooting flames unintentionally and they are just letting me know lol.. I suspect that could be a problem for cops if they are a ways behind me and that happens

 

I run the AP dual rez midpipe and I live in Staten Island. No issues so far ...*knock on wood*

 

I will have one soon very excited! I got pulled over one time upstate NY cuz of the intake but it was late at night!

Just a side question anyone getting check engine lights with there mid-pipe

 

Yes, you'll get a cel.. maybe not immediately but it will come and go.
I masked the CEL with the map i'm working on with the accessport.

 

Ok I see would u say the mid-pipe has made ur car alot louder!!

 

In my case it did not.
Check out the size of the resonators on the racing beat midpipe.
Besides that, the BHR is the only one with that low level of sound increase (due to the type of resonator they used).
But generally midpipes on this car, midpipes tend make it quite loud (and raspy), particularly at high rpms.

 

Ok cuz I want a louder sound but I don't want a rice cake lol I hear the Billy boat is loud so I might go with that one

 

the billy boat midpipe is very raspy

 

I have the RB mid pipe and love it! I went with this one because it was more quiet than any other as I didn't want it to loud to. I have the autobahn titanium exhaust and I love the combo. I wounder how much lower the sound gets when I put that turbo on.

 

No problems with the RB Dual resonated midpipe....much more quieter tone...not 2 aggressive..sound really good with RB Header and exhaust system...No problems with city cops! knockin on wood....

 

The city is so loud anyway, I figured no one would notice. I never thought about the flaming issue though... I wonder how I would explain that to a cop! LOL

 

lol i have one of the loudest setups.. AP dual res + ap catback, and i've been pulled over once, about 2-3 months ago, and that's because i didn't see the cop and was revving my *** off at the dumbass bitch in the z4 in front of me

 

wtf... that must've been embarassing as **** hahahaha

 

yah it was pretty gay... hahah the cop was really cool tho. he even walked me thru how to get the ticket dismissed. and it worked

 

Which midpipe shoots the most flames?

 

um=/

 

PVC midpipe shoots a lot of flames. Delete your cat and bolt on a PVC pipe and report back with the amount of flames you get.

 

yea i wanna shoot flames tooo.... im looking forwards to the AP but not sure.. one of the workers from workconcepts said it was $220 ship.. but intrested in other mid pipes or full exhaust for a good price let me know your suggestions...
