It isn't as bad as my friend who had an unreasonated RX7 store midpipe on his is.

Drove around a bit today, the car is very tolerable at normal cruising speeds even with my HKS hi power on. Only time it's a bit loud is just getting going, but I think the exhaust I use has more to do with it than the pipe. The car sounds great now. Car feels fantastic at high rpms also.

 

Anyone got a Corksport Exhaust hooked up to one of the things? What's it like?

 

Thanks I appreciate your feedback Jim.

We try very hard at Mazsport to build better products for the RX-8, glad to hear the extra effort makes you notice the difference.

inside joke but i am so jealous!

Every midpipe is going to have the same smell since it doesn't filter the exhaust at all

You have a wife and a girlfriend?

 

Actually my fiancee, but you got me (getting married in Chiang Mai, Thailand 3/20!!!!).

So it's still the same smell, eh? Any ideas on air fresheners to nutralize the "who farted sulfur" smell? (hehehehe)

 

Haha nice. I still think the other way would have been more interesting. Congrats thou

For the smell - while you're driving you obviously won't smell anything and if you have the air on recirculate you shouldn't die at stop lights. What really killed the idea of a midpipe for me is the thought of sitting in my driveway in the morning, or at the office in the evening, warming up the car. I wouldn't last a week cos my neighbors/coworkers would strangle me...

 

And....

 

It sounds great. Almost silent at idle, but when you get on it, it is a nice deep throaty tone. I love it.

 

need to post some videos of WOT.

The video's mazsport has are of cruising - so it shows how there's zero drone, but not how much muffling is done at higher rpm ranges. Having some exhaust sound is desirable.

 

I dunno if my car is going to be the best example. My turbo silences things a bit anyways. Anyone offering to be a camera man? Maybe at the next autobacs meet.

 

I can get a video, but I have the HKS single

 

Thanks for posting - hmmm, need to think about this one, lots of money here.

 

revving at idle with HKS hi power

thats pretty good. the hks hi power can even make a turbo car too friggin' loud. So if it makes hi-power quiet enough to not make me want to rip my ears off my face, then it should work for anything.

 

It's really not that bad. Like I said, first and second gear during normal driving are DEFINITELY LOUD, but other than that no complaints. I love the tone of the exhaust.

 

will this bolt up to the turboxs exhaust? I know the turboxs has larger than OEM flanges, but would this really be that big of a problem?

has anyone installed this with a turboxs unit? Solve the exceptional raspy loudness?

 

yea i would like to know that as well. i have the turboxs catback and midpipe right now and its wayy too loud.

 

We have installed our midpipe with the turboxs catback in the shop and the flanges are compatible.
There is a significant reduction in volume and the raspyness will turn to a much deeper tone as well.

 

Does it drone at 80 mph in 6th gear? (4-5K)

 

it's not that bad. It's not silent, but it's certainly bearable. Slow uphills re the one thing that kills me, damn it drones. I'll try to take a few while driving videos so you guys can judge for yourselves how one of the loudest exhausts on the market sounds with thie midpipe.

 

dang this thread dropped off the radar.. Has anyone else purchased this product?

 

Yes - just waiting for my tracking and delivery.

 

^ Same here. Waiting on the igniton system to.

 

have they actually shipped any, or in any number - might be the problem, duno.
