RB Exaust comes with midpipe? or not?

I'm looking at getting a Racing beat exaust system in the near future (month) and my question is for my hard earned ~600ish dollars I know i get the muffler/tips/canister parts, but does it also come with a midpipe that connects from the cat to the muffler? Reason I ask is because I see places selling midpipes all over the place and I just wanna make sure I get what I need... bascially I'm wanting to replace the catalytic converter (with RP Supercat) and EVERYTHING behind it....

thanks for any input guys.

the exhaust is a catback - which means from cat onwards to the rear of the car.

It will link up without you needing to buy anything else.

If you want to replace the cat, you'll need to buy a midpipe. They run around $200 alone, or $300 range with a resonator / high flow cat. The midpipe is optional, it will increase sound and your engine will likely throw a cel because of the missing cat.

your exhaust is 3 sections flanged together... header - midpipe with cat - catback exhaust

the RB stuff covers the last section, the RP supercat pipe replaces the section between the catback and headers

awesome thanks for the information guys....just wanted to confirm I only had to buy the Racing Beat exaust and the Rotary Performance SuperCat.... thats already sitting at about 1000 dollars there, I would be pissed if I had to spend an extra 300 just for a pipe to connect it all....

Thanks again!
Jeff

Yeah -- might have to wait about a month thought before I have that combo installed... I'm running bone stock right now and saving up money to get the parts... theoretically I could go out and buy them today on the credit card, but I'm not stupid and have a LITTLE bit of self control :-P

Any CEL issue? I recentl have the exhaust and that attached pipe connected with it. Let us know please.
