I think you mean consent, conception is another story. And it's only 16 if the other person is under 20, you perv :P

You can delete the CEL by using like a spark plug spacer or a Spark Plug Non-Fouler. You just really have to make sure it fits appropriately.

I've had my Agency Power on for a couple weeks now and still no CEL. I've got my trusty AccessPORT though just in case.

I used to have an Agency Power Mid-pipe as well. I had no CEL on it what-so-ever. I currently have a CEL on my Racing Beat Mid-pipe though.

Any negative thoughts on the Racing Beat dual resonated mid pipe? Everybody seems to be a fan of the BHR one, but racing beats products are typically top notch.

Did anyone notice a lack in fuel economy with the Agency Power midpipe? Or is it just me revving the shit out of it which is making the fuel go down? I feel like I'm driving the same as always, but am noticing a difference in the fuel consumption.

The problem is that every midpipe other than BHR is a piston engine'ed midpipe design in a package that fits our cars. The BHR one is the only one designed for rotaries, and the heat we put through our midpipes. Other midpipes simply can't hold up to it. Even Racing Beat's get very raspy and buzzy. They just take longer than other brands, due to their better quality.

The ONLY benefit of a midpipe..IS DA FLAAAAYYYMEZ

You can get the benefit of getting the car towed on site as you are a FELON.

No benefit unless you race on a track.

BlackRX82006 11-01-2010 09:58 PM

Yeah, you FELON!

Right now i'm running a turbo xs with their mid pipe but buying a bhr midpipe with davesport cat. Will i really be able to notice the difference in power between the two?

Not likely, I have had three on my car and the BHR is the best in build quality and sound but I didn't "feel" a difference in power. I will be on the dyno soon on and off nitrous and we will see what I pull and then I will let you know if there is a power gain off nitrous.

I just installed my racing beat mid pipe last week and no CEL sounds good noticeable difference in power. Especially reaction when shifting the revs do not drop as low pops right back up. only downfall is sound car is wicked loud now

racing beat header , mid pipe , greddy SE exhaust

Last time I went through DEQ my O2 sensor was bad. I just unplugged the room fuse to clear the CEL before leaving to get checked. It worked :)

Does installing a mid-pipe effect the factory warranty. Bougnt my 2008 40th anniversary new over a year ago and still under factory warranty.

Chris 12-28-2010 08:14 AM

Just keep your stock cat pipe on hand for when you need warranty work

terch1 12-28-2010 10:31 AM

I went with a highflow cat because I didn't want to deal with a cel (no cobb yet). Anyways I love it.
