the only updates are what I posted in post #148 straight from the website

 

"The waiting is the hardest part. . . "


I did read in another thread that corksport has a dual res. pipe in development too. But I have no details beyond that.

 

Spoke to RB on monday..Just a heads up, they plan to have it out late next week. I can't preorder because they don't have a part number for it yet..but essentially they have me "on a list"...how's that? lol

 

omfg perfect timing since my supercat just took a dump.

 

You have to post a sound clip as soon as you get it installed... I'm not as daring as you and I want to hear it before I order something like that.

 

LOL, better throw it in the litter box.

 

I'm tempted to get it just on faith, their exhaust has such a clean, smooth note but sort of quiet... I bet with this pipe it'll sound just about perfect.

 

Yeah, i have the RB cat back... they do good work. But I also don't want a midpipe that is too quiet either... its about having the right volume and tone.

 

To be honest..if it's so quiet I don't hear anything except my engine..fine with me. I don't know if you've seen my other posts, but my car is so insanely loud that I need to do something about it..ASAP. The combo I did was a dumb idea...lets just put it that way. So..def you'll get your sound clips, don't worry. Posting sound clips saturday of my current terrible setup.

 

Did they by any chance give you a price? I'm trying to figure out what all I can afford to get done before the trip down to the Deals Gap meet.

 

yea i've had my $$ ready to go. I'd pre-order right now if i had a product number from RB.

 

Nah no price. Just waiting..lol

 

That makes me a sad panda.

 

lol give em a call. Talk to Kris, he helped me out a truck ton.

 

glad to see the ball is rolling on this
it's nice when a company actually listens to it's customers/potential customers

 

^-- well put. He was really knowledgeable and didn't brush me off. I told him my sob story of buying **** exhaust and he simply smiled and nodded and said "yeah...our **** is made for rotaries strictly. We use special resonators with steel wool" or something crazy like that..don't remember specifically but it sounded like he said steel wool. Sound right?

 

I just called Racing Beat myself inquiring about the DR Midpipe and they told me there was another delay and it would be another 3-4 weeks until release I didn't have much time to talk with them so I didn't press further than finding out it was something about a pre-silencer not coming in or not being quite perfect or something. I asked about price and my response was something in the $350-400 price range, so I figure we can look at a minimum of $350 but I imagine that $400 top end was a seat of the pants guess.

I'm with you on the sob story Zelse, I have the AP exhaust with midpipe and I'm dying at 4000 rpm for long highway drives (my daily commute is sadly all highway). For fun I have put in an order for a sound meter, so I'm hoping to test the sound level at highway cruise, full throttle near redline, idle, etc. before and after the RB midpipe. I'll do my best to get it up on the forums if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

 

I called them today about the resonated midpipe and for now they said it will take maybe up to (april,may) to make them finish and release the product. Deam I hope they will make it before MM tunning in NJ !!
I dont know why few days ago they said next week and now its few months but I guess they trying their best

 

Upss I was ansering the phone and bumm Zeon get my info hehe

 

They told me they will have to make sure the fitting is perfect before they release it

 

Just once it'd be nice for someone in the automotive parts industry to deliver a product on time. But this wasn't unexpected. Just hope they don't take too long and let Corksport beat them to the punch.

Actually what am I saying. I hope corksport gets theres out for less than $400 and RB has to put out their product cheaper then expected so I can get this thing and still have enough money for an oil change.

 

Goddamnit..I'll call them and see if there is ANYTHING I can do because I legit cannot drive my car...and my stock cat is sold. :/

 

This is crappy and makes me sad.

Z - there isn't anyone locally who can loan you a midpipe for a month?

 

You know, Greenblurr IS buying it off me.. I could just trade with him ASAP.......hmmm... and then get their midpipe when it comes out. :D

 

Damn, so it's probably not going to make it in time for the Deals Gap Rally.... booo!
