Just some friendly advice. Dump the ball-and-chain / parasite GF, and get the BHR pipe.

 

Lmao if it was only that easy

 

looks like this one will have to learn the hard way.. with girls and midpipes

and spending a grand on bhr is not 'blowing' your money.. spending it on your gf is

 

not if you receive a blow

 

 

ah you pay too much my friend lol get bhr you wont regret it

 

I just bought the Agency power dual resonated midpipe from the rx7 store. Got it installed yesterday, 3 hours and less than 100km there's a glass rattling coming from the rear end of the car...

 

Do you have the stock exhaust? It makes a wire brush on metal type of sound if you do.

 

I do have the stock exhaust and it sounds more like glass dangling.

 

Every day i drive my 8 my agency midpipe makes me cringe.. still waiting on bhr to ship my items... The worst part about agency it makes the car sound like my racing beat header and borla catback dont exist.. its a rice popper in my opinion

 

Have the ap mid pipe on mine and with the ultra rev exhaust no rattles or buzzing and no hard codes set. Had to take of the Ultra rev exhaust to repair a weld and put the stock muffler back on and it buzzed like crazy like a couple of baffles in the muffler were vibrating. Then put the Ultra rev back on and no buzzing at all.

Just my two cents

hey, if I take of the cat, and put a mid pipe, if i re-install the cat will it still pass the emissions test? iknow its probably a stupid question, but id like to know!

 

No cat=fail emission test. Helps if you know a guy that can pass inspections for you...not that I know any

Re-install cat=pass emission test. Except a lot of unnecessary work.

 

How many miles on the pipe? Mine sounded great for the first 250 miles..

 

Depends on the state and what kind of inspections you have. There is a DIY thread about how to pass emissions with the midpipe on there, and it works. In Nevada all they do is hook up to the obd2 port and it runs some tests, even if it smells as bad as this does they don't care its just a job to most of them.


Also I have at least 8k miles on my AP midpipe and the sound has not changed yet. Still the buzzy resonance at 3.5 - 4.5k rpm from having the stock exhaust.

 

I repeat.. a lot of unnecessary work.. No matter, bhr midpipe on the way, glad to hear your ap pipe worked out well.

 

OP get this cat and weld it in your pipe.

even if the cat has been off for about a year, and i re-install it will still pass the emissions?

 

How much unfiltered emissions do you think are still in the pipe?



No, the ECU doesn't try to keep track of what you did in the past...

 

About 3500 miles

 

Question can the Davesport jus replace the oem. No mid pipe no resonators? Will it be loud, throw a cel, etc....?

 

Yes, it can replace the OEM without a CEL or excess noise.

However, don't go full throttle to redline more than a couple times over the life of the cat. You can, but it won't be more than a couple before the cat blows out. Check the BHR midpipe thread for picture proof of a Davesport cat lasting less than 1 day of autocross from brand new.

 

Does it last longer combine with a midpipe and resonator? Were would u place it before or after mid pipe and resonators? Some people here have had great success with it.

 

It's simply a matter of heat. Too much heat and it's toast. The Davesport would get welded into whatever midpipe you select. Whatever midpipe you pick with whatever resonators won't make a difference in the amount of heat you are creating.

Keep calm with a low EGT tune and you too can make it last. It's just hamstringing you with a mental barrier knowing that going too high will shovel the money you spent down the drain.

 

Well i have no mods no upgrades its factory. I recently had to replace my engine, but the rotary mech told me my cat was good. It has 126k miles with about 90k i know on the original cat. On thing is i have a slight hesitation on take off at times like a delayed throttle response. New engine, plugs, wires, coils. I got a new air filter to intall cause mine has oil residue on it. The only code im throwing is a upstream 02. Would either of those cause it?
