Varies between vendors of the mid-pipes and high flow cats.
Some mid-pipes are horribly loud while others are quieter... same goes for high-flow cats.
Then it also depends on the combination of the mid-pipe/high flow with the cat-back.
Gas smell will be worse with a mid-pipe.
In the end, it comes down to personal preference.
Some like it louder than others.

:iwstupid: What he said.

yup, comes down to what you like and what you're willing to put up with.
I have the RP supercat with an RB exhaust. Great combination (IMHO) and I have yet to be harassed by police.

Also keep in mind midpipes are illegal. You probably new this already.

Global warming.

ps; wtb mazsport dual resonated midpipe

Woot! Global Warming, it will offset the coming Ice Age.

^ nice

encounters with the law varies from state to state.

my mazsport DR midpipe should be here soon. its going with greddy sp2 exhaust.

hopefully it should sound great. i drive highway every day. so il let you know if its annoying or not.

RP midpipe, no problems yet.

thanks i just needed feedback cuz i dont know witch one to get but does any have any links where i can purchase a super cat or a midpipe either way i want to shoot flames :)

Theyll all shoot flames. If you tried hard enough you could get flames from the stock setup; rx8's run very rich.

I would have to say that encounters with the law vary from cop to cop

^^ Agreed. From personal experience, I was being and idiot, and floored my car, I was doing 49 in a 25 and around the corner came a cop. I got a huge fine. I was running the Agency catless midpipe, and he said he could hear me comming from 5 blocks away. He was furious with me and even said he was going to take me straight to jail, but never did check to see if I had a cat or not. I got really lucky! Now take that same situation with a different cop, I might not even have my car now. Something to think about.

Way to go, slick :lol:

You did get lucky, though, man!

oh well can any hook me up with some links to sites where i can a god highflow cat or a nice midpipe

www.rx7.com
www.mazsport.net
www.racingbeat.com

does gas mileage go down when you put a midpipe on?

nope

thanks for the links invasion08
so i think im going to get a midpipe ill let u guys know how it goes

what if you dont have the back o2 sensor on the midpipe..

will that effect gas mileage?

with a midpipe and CAI, I still average 15-18 around town and 20-22 on the freeway. That has not changed due to any mods.

WHy wouldnt you have the sensor? Theres a hole for it in the pipe (hence why it throws a cel)

yes yes i know... long story short.. mazda stole my cat and my o2 sensor so i have a shop weld a piece of piping in there for a short term thing... sounds like crap and i think im burning through gas like crazy... idk.. im about to be at half with 100 miles.. is that about right?
