I know scott won't let me down, but especially after the day I had and the dealership erasing my racing beat flash I need something to make me not be mad at this car anymore.

Daemos 01-17-2008 08:38 PM

hmm might be a good replacement for the rx7store one I have...but I'm debating going high-flow cat...(to avoid the smell =/)

chetrickerman 01-17-2008 08:38 PM

you can get it reflashed from racing beat for half price

1/2 the price of something I already paid for and then not having a car for another week when I pay for next day shipping both ways hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I can only hope to god cobb isn't full of shit this time and actually releases their unit this month.

Glad to hear you are happy with the midpipe, I knew going into it the quality would be top notch.

Keef 01-17-2008 08:42 PM

why is a midpipe in the major performance section? It's the same damn thing as all the other midpipe's +1 resonator +1 bung hole... whoopdy f-ing do! Your car must be sooooooooo fast...

weak... weak sauce...

chetrickerman 01-17-2008 08:46 PM

you shouldnt have had the dealer flash your car.

your just pissed cause your dual resonated midpipe isnt special anymore

RedefineRX8 01-17-2008 08:48 PM

I didn't have my dealer flash my car, do you think I'm retarded? I actually told them 5 times in advance including the service manager not to do it... they did it... then denied doing it after the fact to this point still. I only brought it in to check my coils, they told me they had a new flash available and I told them I wanted nothing to do with it... Please don't make stupid comments like that I've had a bad enough day as it is and it has nothing to do with this product.

Ive read some threads on here about emission odor getting into the cabin having a midpipe on our vehicle. I would like to get this but dont want the smell. Anyone?

chetrickerman 01-17-2008 08:49 PM

hey, take it easy. i stay right with my car whenever i take it to the dealer. i dont trust anyone with my car.

get a high flow cat.

Daemos 01-17-2008 09:32 PM

heh...I might do high flow cat...

Is anyone using a high flow cat with boost? I read (somewhere) the pettit supercharger works with a high flow cat without risk of destroying the cat (not sure if that is accurate or not)

...whatever.

The problem with that is some of us live in an area that requires emissions testing. If we gut our cat we have nothing to fall back on. With a mid pipe, we can just swap in the cat and reset the ecu when it comes time to go in for testing again.

'features'?? It's a hollow pipe...what kinnda feature are we talking about. Chet: PM me, we gotta talk.

Because it has special features.... like disabling the resonators to make more noise and power when your on the track.

Well you could do it like in Old School. Get flexible corrugated A/C & Heating pipe and make one your self. NO weight. But FAST!

Are you saying that it has electric exhaust dump valves?

It would be so cool to have them vacuum operated like wastegates. :Eyecrazy:

I'm pretty sure Razz is just being facetious. This midpipe has no valves in it.

I don't think that would be very cool. It would just add more weight and complication to a part that doesn't need it.

chetrickerman 01-18-2008 06:29 AM

yes, that would be stupid

staticlag 01-18-2008 09:38 AM

who are they using for their resonators, borla?

What are they packed with? Or are they packed at all?

rotorocks 01-18-2008 09:45 AM

I don't understand what is the big deal with this?
so much talk over a test pipe LOL double resonated or not, who cares? It'll still stink without cat.

Come on Al, surely the dealership let you hold onto one of the numerous cats you've burned out to date...:lol:
