I love the pipe. I like the sound more than stock, but it's not as good as it could be. I have to wait for you guys to finish developing the header and catback for that
It's mostly quality of video, though I do have both windows and moonroof open for the 2nd video, and the phone is ~6 inches from the tail pipes on the 1st. It IS louder than full stock, though only under no-load and WOT, and not by much. For normal cruising low or mid level load and such, it sounds completely stock. Or at least, a trained or experienced ear would be needed to detect the difference.

For all of you on the fence and looking for a midpipe, this one is definitely for you. I'm very picky, (an understatment of the year) this gives a very nice tone, I could barely hear the difference in the cabin.

Out for Delivery!!!!
But it's raining like crazy, and watch, I bet you this will be the one time they do not leave it in front of my door to get all wet. Yet when I am expecting a computer part or something for work they always leave it in the rain,

It seems the OEM and MazdaSpeed cat-backs are going to need alternate rear hardware (which I already have available) because they each use the same thin stamped steel flanges. Other aftermarket cat-backs tend to use thicker, Water-Jetted, flanges and that is what our pipe was designed to accomodate. Looks like a new pull-down on our webpage for ordering the BHR Midpipe will be needed, asking the question "OEM/MazdaSpeed cat-back currently in use?".
I'm using the OEM catback, so feel free to send that hardware over whenever you get a chance. I haven't had a chance to install the midpipe yet and won't get to for another week or 2 most likely... I'll hold off until I get whatever new hardware you've got for me to use
Gracias!
Too bad the box is smashed and an exhaust hanger poking out of the box. I need to open it to see if it is damaged.

Everything looks fine. The tape at the end of the pipe was ripped off so the bubble wrap and the ring was loose in the box. Looks like there is some minor scratches but nothing major. But the pipe does not have the CAT so I will need to follow up with Ray. No worries though because I will not have my car for another 1.5 - 2 weeks so plenty of time.

I passed the UPS truck while it was driving to the receiving facility this morning. Almost pulled it over to get my pipe. A few more hours and it will be at my door.
