Agency Power is definitely the loudest/worst. BHR and RB are probably the best with RP being in the middle.

I'd like to tag a question along with the OP

How loud will these midpipes (resonated) get with the stock exhaust? And how deep can they get with the stock exhaust?

If you search BHR's Midpipe thread you can actually hear one of the prototypes with a stock exhaust.

It's one of their test videos.

stock exhaust with a catless resonated midpipe is fairly quiet, only marginally louder than with the stock exhaust setup.

I'm considering the ExoticSpeed catless racing midpipe... Only has one resonator (I'm going for loud),

Or I'll end up with the AP dp

It's the very beginning of a Paul Oakenfold set from his essential mix world tour aired by radio 1. Just look for Paul Oakenfold essential mix.

I figured you'd dig it. It's a deep rich tone.

You've just been BHR'd. Thats what happens when you deal with BHR or a BHR product. You get the highest quality, and supreme results. That's why BHR has a very thick and crazy fan base, too, so beware of their minions!

Not instead, get the mid pipe... then after you're adjusted, do some research on cat back systems. BHR actually has a cat back in the works... same great sound, too. So you have plenty of time to get adjusted and settled in.

I currently am waiting on my mid pipe, and it will be mated to my HKS Hi - Flow single exit, until BHR releases their catback. I would also suggest getting an AccessPort from MazdaManiac and letting him do some tuning! It's worth it!

Thats actually not a soundtrack. See when Charles R. Hill gets warm, instead of his body sweating, it actually secretes that song.

The AP is a raspy mess. I'm just too lazy to do anything about it.

Also check out CorkSports mid pipe. Its really not that bad either and sounds pretty good. I will probably end up going that route. I want something to make my JIC a little louder but not AP loud

Racing Beat then BHR. Stock exhaust should muffle most of the sound midpipes create. I would go dual resonated, Most people do eventually go a with a cat back. I know very few people to have opted to go with just a Mid. Just some food for thought.
