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?

Depending on your driving habits, yes. Ive seen as low as 160 on a full tank, and as high as 300.

dang ive been feathering it and thats where i am..

Are you driving predominantly city? Lots of stop signs, stoplights?

yea just about all my driving is

hey im stuck a super cat or a rb midpipe which one ????
ill take ur votes

then 200-220 per tank is doing good.

I was wondering what a few posters asked... Ever since I put on my Agency power dual resonated midpipe I seem to have lost 30% fuel economy.. from about 16 mpg to 11.. The only difference was the midpipe.. Could this somehow affect my AFR and make the computer think it needs to run extra rich for some reason?
