especially since you want "2" of everything - the hi-power has half the mufflers the standard exhausts have AND the one you get is small.

I'll take 4 of them.
The funny thing is you get the same effect by turning your key to the "OFF" position. It not only saves you from buying an expensive mid-pipe but also saves on gas!

A sports catalyzer (re amemiya) weighs around 18.5\19 pounds with all the hardware for comparison. The Brain catalyzer i had before scaled at around 21.

I think this should be lighter

I have a brand new HKS Hi-Power sitting on my couch right now, thanks to Charles and the gang. I'm awaiting the arrival of my sweet BHR Mid-pipe. I'll be more that happy to show you just how "god awful" it will sound when I get it installed.



I'll usemy friend's nice senhauser SG mic too, for my fellow production nerds.

Yeah, I'm curious to how this will sound as well. I'm planning on eventually getting this midpipe (I <3 BHR) but with the money I've had to lay out to finish up the mods I wanted to do while the car was in the shop it will have to wait a bit. I am going to have an HKS Hi-Power exhaust installed with my Racing Beat non-resonated midpipe which I understand is going to be quite noisy. If the BHR midpipe can bring out more tone with less volume that's even better. Then again, I really like the sound of the HKS exhaust based off the video clips I've heard.

Yeah, why not take a small poll or something on those who want to use their old spring studs or whatever? (I'm guessing it's the springs that go on the oem catback to cat...?) And even then, do we really need it if we have aftermarket headers and catback?

I suppose, but if it's only bolts remaining, it's honestly not a big deal. I just got all my bolts replaced to my header by Mazda, and my bolts for the rear seem to be fine regardless. But I mean, thats just me. :D

I don't imagine there will be a very long delay with sourcing these parts. We're as eager to get these pipes out as those who ordered them. Don't beat up on Ray too much for wanting to ensure the proper parts are included with every mid-pipe. We make sure any product we produce is equipped with everything needed.

It's one of those unwaivering aspects about BHR. Zelse I'm sure you'd be happy to have those parts included in the event anything snapped or broke while you were removing your existing mid-pipe.

We're working as quickly as possible to source the necessary hardware. Once that's done we'll be pushing these out of the door.
