Charles and company 
you all will need to add me to the bottom of the ridiculously long list. My car is at mazda getting a new motor but I am sure by the time I come up on the list I will be through the break in period
I want to beat Kris (police34) to the new pipe!
Oh and I should probablly order the ignition kit soon. I will pm you about that once I get the car back from Mazda

I zoom therefore I am.
Installed!
Goodbye restrictive cat:
Hello new Hottness:
FYI, the install wasnt done yet, but i wanted a pic before the braces were back in. and yes, that bolt was put in about 10 seconds after this pic was taken.
Drove her home and wowza
The sound is just wonderful. No raspieness, no tin can sound, no "look at me i'm a ricer with a straight pipe" feeling. Just clean and with a bit more bass.
When the mechanic was installing it he said "This is going to be really loud", i bet him a coffee that it wouldn't be... he owes me a coffee.
Everything went together smooth as butter, I was impatient so had him take off the old pipe while it was still warm/hot, so if i ever go back to stock i'll need some new bolts
I didnt slam it around too hard on the way home but my butt dyno was happy. No idea of cel since I have an accessport and it will mask it.
For anyone still trying to decide if they want this, stop waiting. I've heard, driven in, driven next to a ton of different midpipes, this is my favorite.

you mean the AP can mask CEL's?! no WAY!!!
damn you Laythor, damn you BHR!!!!
on a scale of 1-10, how loud was your OEM setup and how does this compare?

Ray, I think that's just the angle of the pic. Here's a differnt angle, just crappy quality
Jorge, I know right? Who knew the AP masked cel's? On a scale of 1 to 10 my old set up (MS intake, MS dual cat back was a 6. With the BHR midpipe i'd call it a 6.5, 7 to 8 when i stomp on the throttle. But it's not "loud" it's more... grumbly? It doesnt just become loud for the sake of loud, it seems to play off the existing sounds that we all love from the rotary.

For those who are wondering what I am talking about; the MazdaSpeed and OEM cat-backs use a thin stamped-steel rear flange unlike other aftermarket cat-backs which use a thicker rear flange. As such, the supplied springs/studs need to be removed and a pair of bolts/washers used in their place. With future shipments I will supply said bolts/washers for those with MazdaSpeed/OEM cat-backs.
