Racing Beat midpipe
Installed my Racing Beat double res midpipe tonight. It was a pretty easy install and only took about an hour total. Quality was great and the fitment was perfect. I have it paired with the factory cat-back. It sounds pretty much stock at idle, and is a little bit deeper up top in the rpms. It definitely pulls harder and also has an interesting popping sound between shifts. So far its a great product and I would recommend it to anyone else with an RX8.

I have a TurboXS catback and midpipe and it smells horrible and droney and loud as all hell. Will this midpipe make it a little better in regards to sound and smell?

There's no raspy what-so-ever with the midpipe and stock exhaust. Yea, it does have a slight smell when I'm sitting at a stoplight for a few minutes if I have the sunroof open. I just got the windows tinted today so I can't put them down for a few days. Hopefully it will smell less as all the penetrating oil burns off that I used on the bolts. Had a little scare today, i took 2nd to 9200 and shifted into third, loud pop from the exhaust and then the car hesitated for a second. At first I thought I might have blown a seal but it's still driving perfect.

Yea, it came on after 20 miles. Reset the ECU wt my COBB and came back again right away. Later this summer I'm going to do the RB intake and duct, along with AP UDP. Then I'll get the MM e-tune and have him get rid of the engine code.
