ms exhaust + RB race pipe?

Is there anyone out there who has this combo? Whats it like? I have an MS exhaust and wanna add a midpipe with it. What I really wanted was BHRs new midpipe but I'm sure I'll have to grab a ticket and wait in line for that.

I have the Racing Beat REV8 and the AP dual resonated midpipe.
The Agency Power pipe has little bitty "Cherry Bomb" resonators.

LOUD. (When you get on it.)
Sounds good too.

yeah ap was my second choice....I don't know if there's that many people out there with the ms exhaust though so thats what I was wondering. It's probably the same affect or close to the same results as the rest but I'm just curious

In the rb dual res thread "all those looking for a dr...." on page 16 pgrothe posted up a video with that exact setup. It sounds awesome, hope this helps.

Here's a shortcut to my video posted on that thread. For your own pleasure

The sound of that setup is perfect for my taste, never too loud, but people notice that you are there when you push the pedal to the floor ;-)

well as racing beat only offers a race pipe right now i dont know what was used in the video.

in the sig it says racing beat resonated pipe. well that is not available so who knows what it is. check the racing beat site. all they offer is a straight pipe.

and trust me, you cant judge anything from a video clip..

really..

beers

+1^ My midpipe and HKS 3" Hi Power is extremely loud! It's so cool, though...but I am getting ready to add in a 3"x12" Vibrant resonator so, that should quite it down just a bit.

Not true.
Racing Beat does have a dual-resonated mid-pipe:
http://racingbeat.com/resultset.asp?partnumber=16221

And I've personally installed one so I can tell you for fact that they are out there as we speak.

Swoope, you should take more time to read next time that you go on the RB web site.

I have the Mazdaspeed Dual Exhaust as well.

I ordered the RB dual-resonated midpipe as well. I tried the non-resonated version from RB and that thing was LOUD even with a stock exhaust!

You're going to want to keep a resonated midpipe since our cars can easily sound like weed whackers if you're not careful.

I've got a Mazsport Dual Resonated Midpipe mated with the Racing Beat Rev8 Catback and it's not loud as much as it is a deeper tone but it sounds so exotic.

26 more people on the "pre-order" list whose pipes will not take NEAR as long to ship out as we have honed our processes.
Well if you think it'll quiet down the exhaust more than the racing beat dual res will...then I wanna be on that preorder list asap

I'm only trying to get rid of bit of raspyness, that's all.
