Quietest mid-pipe?

I had a Mazsport midpipe on my first RX8 and now have the RB Midpipe on the 2nd ... they are both of very similiar construction. Obviously RB did redesign the two resonators for better fitment, but in terms of sound they are identical. Very quiet, relative to midpipes ofc.

While I don't agree that the MazSport sounds like stock, it is one of the quietest mid-pipes I've heard.
But I would recommend the new D/R Racing Beat mid-pipe.
Side-by-side its difficult to tell the difference between the RB and the MazSport mid-pipe.
Plus the RB has better fitment and doesn't require you to leave the two cross members off.

I'm thinking the guys at mazsport were using racing beats pre silencers- They look very similar.
Also I know what your saying about the fitment issue.. i fixed my rattling problem by adding washers to where the cross members bolt up. The washers gave me the clearance that was needed. If this rattling is the problem just add the washers so you can keep your cross member braces

Does Racing Beat offer a D/R midpipe that will mount up with the AT?
My Mazsport AT D/R midpipe is different than the MT version. (the S bend between the resonators is larger on the AT)
The reason I ask is because the piping bends and angles are different because of the larger size trans in the AT. Or did RB think of this issue before designing the size of the first resonator so the type of trans wouldn't matter in regards to fitment?

Id buy BHR's Single resonated midpipe if its louder than RB's Midpipe... , Since I have RB's Rev8 exhaust its not that loud already and somewhat close to stock, I want something a little louder so if BHR's midpipe makes it louder and sound better then im down. BHR's quality/fitment is amazing as well...

As you mentioned Team I wan't to be emissions legal but also have some of the benefits of a midpipe.. In Ontario we have emissions tests every 2 years and I don't have my oem cat.

Alright I'm not knowledgable of this but is there any reason you can't put this on a midpipe.. say turboxs? I'm willing to take the hit for asking something stupid but I really have no idea.
