I put two washers on each bolt on each side of the brace that is closer to the rear of the car, and none on the brace closer to the front of the car because it seemed to have enough clearance.

Endgame, I have a soundclip on my phone taken from inside the cockpit that I could upload, but it is so loud at WOT that I get mass distortion. I'll work on getting it up since school work is pissing me off right now and this provides a needed distraction.

Here's the clip, that was relatively painless except for the fact that it's a zipped .amr because of stingy size restrictions on uploads. Oh well, back to work I guess.
Here's link to the mp3 format too (right-click, save-as):

I shipped a midpipe dirt cheap to Scotland of all places using USPS, not sure why you're having an issue unless the box is much larger than it needs to be
and it had a rear hanger installed too

Its possible they didnt measure the package that you shipped and let it thru which has happened to me a few times. A midpipe is to long to ship thru them even if it fits the box perfect.

Could cut it in half and they can weld it together there. Just make sure and put a line down the pipe the long way before you cut it so that they know where it matches up. Make sure the customer is down with doing that.

So I recently had the rx8store HFC installed, and I can definately tell that my car is running richer... Anybody else getting a rich smell when they change the cats? Is this normal?

I can smell the fuel coming out of the exhaust pipes a lot more yes. Of course, it smelled like it was running very rich even before I changed the cat compared to my hyundai.

Also in light of the midpipe that it will throw a CEL, over the phone one of the reps at RX8store said that none of their's have thrown a check engine light.

We have never said the midpipe didnt throw a CEL. I have said that some customers have told me they have not gotten a CEL with our resonated midpipe, but I couldnt verify that was the case for every car.
