Duel-rasonated midpipe

Ok here’s the story, I wanna buy an Agency Power Dual-Resonated Midpipe but problem is I have a BeatRush Center Transmission Bracing that might get in the way. So my question is do you guys think it’ll fit. Thanks.

Thanks dannobre, I was kinda scared it wouldn’t fit with the bigger piping. And oh btw does anyone have this midpipe and if so do the resonators help with the sound?

I just sold that midpipe to another local. The car doesn't sound bad with it at all, it does make it a little more raspy but that might be because he still has the stock catback. It was nowhere near as loud as the single resonated though according to another local that had it.

If you dont want to make your car significantly louder by adding a mid-pipe, wait for the racing beat dual resonated mid-pipe. It should be the quietest mid-pipe on the market.

errr...they are both dual resonated midpipes...while there is going to be a difference between the two...it isn't going to be like a dual resonated vs straight pipe.

I wander how big the resonators will be on the racing beat midpipe. Because if it’s as big as the mazsport resonators were then I don’t think it’ll fit with my BeatRush Center Transmission Bracing.

No, racing beat redesigned the resonators so they should be small enough.

Sorry to go off topic here, but how do you like the transmission bracing?

racing beat products, at least for rx7's, are well known for producing crisp clean and relatively quiet sounds. Their catbacks for the 7's are a lot less noticeable at idle then just about any other combination.
