That is what I have been told also... but this may have been only the single resonated pipe...

Another local just got the dual pipe, but I have yet to hear it live.


Blamerobb: I pmed you.

RX876 02-27-2009 08:11 AM

I want a midpipe too...... I have the sp2 catback, and k&n v2 intake

fannin522 02-27-2009 01:07 PM

i had the ap dual resonated pipe n it was raspy in the mid rpm range made me sound like a ricey civic so i took it off n sold it

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 02-27-2009 03:25 PM

you guys are comparing midpipes to stock cat's. Of course its gonna be louder and raspier. Why dont you compare midpipes to midpipes.

dhan 02-27-2009 05:05 PM

^hes right hahaha. Yes it is true the AP midpipe is raspy around the mid range but i got to say i still love it :)

OK... I will.
I had the AP midpipe and it was loud, raspy, and annoying.
I swapped that for the MazSport mid-pipe and LOVE it.
Nice deep tone.
I would never go back to the AP midpipe for a daily driver.

alright now compare midpipes to something that people can actually buy, have customer service with , and will fit all cars without issues. :)

fannin522 02-27-2009 05:31 PM

is mazsport raspy at all?

Mazsport dual resonated one? Because those are dead silent from what i believe and seen

I actually have that planned.
We have a local that is putting on an AP midpipe soon and another who is going to purchase the RB when it comes out.
Then we can compare the three next to each other.
I already planned on making a comparison video like my other video that compares the stock cat to the MazSport midpipe.

yea i realize. RB is still a few months out with theirs because of their resonator manufacturer. Should be the same as mazsport but actually a good product..

but what can people buy right now?

I feel people should wait and see what happens with the Racing Beat, unless you like the loudness.
This is just my opinion coming from someone who ran with the AP as a daily driver.
I only bring up the MazSport because its the only pipe (right now) that has proven to me that you can have a catless midpipe that doesn't produce an annoying sound.
And if RB can replicate that.. great!

true, but compared to a single resonated midpipe which most are used to anyways, the AP DR is just fine... i like it. I dont think half the people would want a stock sounding exhaust system thats half the reason for getting one..

blamerobb 02-28-2009 09:48 AM

Damn u guys kill me. I was ready to buy this ap and now your to wait for the rb? Which would sound better with rb catback. And how would I prevent it from throwing a cel

fannin522 02-28-2009 10:03 AM

cobb ap will mask cel if you want to throw the mony to buy one if not you prob just have to live with cel

blamerobb 02-28-2009 11:26 AM

ya but i need to worry about the cel because i live in cali and we have stupid smog checks we need to worry about. i think i still want to pick up the ap though. what you think greddy. wait or pickup up the ap. this is my dailer driver btw

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 02-28-2009 11:31 AM

go get your inspection before you put the midpipe on. then you have a year to get the AP before next inspection, or just keep your stock cat and swap it out for inspection. no biggie

blamerobb 02-28-2009 11:57 AM

will the cel clear one i put the old cat back on? and what do you think of pairing ap with the rb as apposed to waiting and getting the rb with the rb. sorry for the delay btw, just want to make sure its the best suited

once you stop by an auto parts store and clear the old code it wont come back with the stock cat back on.

pairing the AP will be cheaper, now, and a little louder. The RB will be quieter, yes, but is not available for a few months and will cost more for the same power results and function.
