Have you guys noticed that with the mid-pipe installed, drive-ability improves at lower speeds (less hesitation & more torque, etc)? I asked because I swapped out my MS CAI for a Revi CAI at the same time as I installed the mid-pipe and I don't know how much each is impacting this clear and noticeable improvement.
As far as braces are concerned, are they im[portant enough to worry about and if so, should they be switched out for a more effective after-market solution?

I would say that its due to the mid-pipe, not the CAI.
Maybe if you do auto-x racing where you do demanding turns constantly.
It'll then be better to have the frame boxed in and not have the car flex in the center due to the exhaust "tunnel".

I always think its a good idea to have extra bracing but that is why I have the carbing underbrace (even though its most likely not very functional). I can not tell you about the hesitation due to the amount of other mods done to the car but I do know its running better..

I am TOTALLY loving this mid-pipe. It sounds great tonally and the performance it has added to my car is definitely improved! One of the best mods I've done, highly recommended.

installed my pipe yesterday man it's a nice piece! Got the CEL 25 after the install. Very impressed with sound and performance. The installed took me a little longer cuz the nuts were hard to take off. All i need now is a good air refresher....

OK - someone has to ask this: What's the point of a midpipe? Is it simply to allow a less restricted flow?
I have a MS CAI and exhaust. I could do without the 'boy racer' sound from the intake. Will a midpipe make this better or worse?

From a performance impact, mid-pipe delivers much more than CAI and cat-back. I was surprised at how much the CAT restricts flow. Mazsports mid-pipe adds only marginally to the sound and it sounds good! Personally, I'm not a fan of the MS CAI as it resonates too much between 4k and 5k -- very annoying on the highway - RB CAI does not not do this.

I recieved my midpipe yesterday and installed it. Absolutely incredible. Everyone with aftermarket exhaust needs this pipe. Great quality, easy installation, awesome sound. No more ricey stupid loud exhaust. Well worth the wait everyone. Thanks Scott and everyone at Mazsport!

^ no they don't, I'm pretty sure I paid wayyy less than any of you for my tripple resonated Turbo-xs exhaust system 
I laugh at you all for paying 500$ for a tube

no, mine is Tripple resonated, I have most of Socal rx8 owners as my witness
a turbo, a pre-silencer, a resonator (the stock turbo xs one) and then another pre-silencer......the entire exhaust system costed me........lets see
550$ + 150....= 700$ for a full turbo-back tripple resonated exhaust.........
how much is your midpipe again?
