AR Midpipe suggestions

I have been searching left and right for a good midpipe that will compliment the low rumble of a Borla or JIC exhaust. The only one I found was the Mazsport midpipe but for obvious reasons I can't get it anymore. What midpipe will work well with the Borla or JIC that will keep it at a deep rumble instead of a loud whiney pitch.

Sorry If I made any typos. Posting off my iPhone lol

yeha they are the 2 quietest midpipes for the 8, and they virtually eliminate the rasp

the only pipes that you will find legal are going to be stock or high flow cat pipes.

so that being said there goes like all the other midpipe options. although it may be illegal you can still do it lol everyone else does.

I have the AP dual res mide pipe, it is a bit raspy around 4300 rpms but thats it.

Apox: send a PM to Charles R. Hill and he'll get you the details on the midpipe.
I know they are making a slight redesign to the resonator but the pipes should be ready to ship soon.

Yeah it looks good, is it worth it though to pay extra for polished finish, or just take the cheaper satin finish?

Lol....this is true. B&B Midpipes have a single resonator if I remember correctly.

I like BHR's and Corksport. You can get a hi-flo cat, dual resonated midpipe, or single resonated from Corksport.

check out the single resonated pipe with their catback..
