mid pipe and greddy or agency?
 
i was wondering what you guys think. which is quieter out of the two the greddy exhaust and a midpipe or the agency and its mid pipe? b/c i am going to purchase the rb flash but i dont want a stupidly loud garbage sounding exhaust. and i like how the greddy sounds but never heard it w/ out the cat

Uhhh...you know a midpipe is simply an empty pipe right? That its made from metal and in the shape of a pipe with nothing in it...

You know that right?

The B&B midpipe has a resonator. As does the SR Motorsports one.

The Agency Power w/ Midpipe is pretty damn loud. I finally removed mine cause it would give the girlfriend headaches & I always felt like I was attracting a bit too much attention.

wassup_nuthin 01-09-2008 12:08 PM

ye i know that.... but do you realize they also have different bends, diamater, metals, resonators on them. hence is why im asking which one to buy b/c not all are going to the same loudness

wassup_nuthin 01-09-2008 12:11 PM

i love smart@$$'es b/c i have 65 posts what im considered a noob and your superior to me b/c you have more time to posts comments and obvisally more questions to ask then me hence having the 1k plus posts... i didnt ask for smart @$$ comments just trying to get some simple answers

*sorry if you werent trying to sound like an @$$**

nycgps 01-09-2008 12:14 PM

You do know that midpipes shouldnt have bends right? the bend came from your Exhaust.

Jedi54 01-09-2008 12:16 PM

the word "quieter" and midpipe really don't go in the same sentence. The greddy is quite loud already with the stock cat, I'd almost fear hearing it with a midpipe.

Why not go with something like the RP supercat?

RufusVonStorm 01-09-2008 12:41 PM

I think what hes trying to say is if you're concerned about noise level a midpipe is going to be really loud, better off going with a high flow cat, or at the very least adding a resonator

wassup_nuthin 01-09-2008 01:12 PM

ya i guess u guys right. im not too worried about sound. just i dont want it crazy loud you know? getting in trouble and low rpm

wassup_nuthin 01-09-2008 01:13 PM

like idle and low rpms you can hear it then wot you can really hear it ya know guys? just not stupid loud

chetrickerman 01-09-2008 01:32 PM

im telling you, its not going to happen.



wait

Jedi54 01-09-2008 01:34 PM

check out youtube; seriously, there's a ton of RX-8 audio clips on there.

Xdeedubbx has 2 different HKS clips on there
I'm sure there's a greddy sound clip
Nemesis uploaded an RP supercat +RB.

Search long enough, and you might find the clip on youtube

I actually have the Agency full exhaust on with "cat delete" pipe, and its rediculously loud. Personally I dont like it, and you can't hear yourself think on the highway, nor does it sound that great. I'm actually going to put the original stock cat back on and get rid of the midpipe. Hopefully that quiets things down. Hope that helps you.

The resonated ones are called "resonated midpipes"...

If you are concerned about sound...you need a supercat "high flow cat"...

I am very happy with the RB Rev8 + midpipe (no resonator)...below 4k its nice and quiet...I can get along in traffic without anyone noticing me...over 6k and the sound terrorizes yet mesmerizes most people...

The Rev8 is the nice trade-off for me...its has a good note and is very quiet compared to everything else out there...

chickenwafer 01-09-2008 02:23 PM

I've heard the Agency Power with it's midpipe is just stupid loud.

But really, any midpipe is going to make the car incredibly loud

You've been here for 9 days and you already are getting tired of it? Oh, and I don't think your forum name is helping all that much.

you guys need to realize that MANY of us have been here for YEARS and have seen questions like this asked dozens and dozens of times. We're here to help but we're also human and grow tired so we often have a little fun at the 'n00bs' (by n00b, I simply mean the new people)
The search button would easily have answered questions on midpipes and exhaust combos, as we even have a VERY extensive thread on most the exhaust systems for the 8.

Don't take things so seriously, you'll enjoy your time here so much more. :)

Dude, you have 11 posts here, all of which are just bashing our community. I understand how you feel about people not answering question when asked and what not, but why did you join this forum? To just say what 350's are better?

You obviously don't have an RX-8.
