Video: RP Midpipe w/ B&B Exhaust...
Just installed the RP Midpipe and B&B Exhaust and all I can say is WOW. The sound is incredible, but its insanely loud. It sounds like a full blown gt car when wot but at 4k and below it sounds really deep and throaty. Overall I love the sound and performance gain. I made a little video clip of me putting the car away just to give you an idea of what it sounds like, btw I never went above 4k rpm in the clip.

Like the sound.
I don't know about mine, but when I first start/warm up the car, whenever the RPM's get to around the 4k mark, you hear a "rattle" or "buzzing" sound. Does yours do that too, have you ever noticed? Also when you blip the throttle just when you're still, you sort of hear a rattling noise too. I have the RP High Flow Cat and Greddy exhaust and it does this. Can't wait to hear it at full throttle.

Yeah, between 4k-5k mine makes rattling sound. I believe the pipes are vibrating on the support bars on the bottom of the car, dont know for sure though.

I don't think that noise is the pipe hitting the bars, sounds like it's the exhaust flow. I can't imagine what it'll sound like at WOT, just hearing you rev alittle was too loud for me.
I'll post a video of my borla with RP supercat soon. It's still quiet but throatier.

This thing is so loud, im seriously considering getting a rb exhaust or putting the stock one back on. The performance gain is incredible on the top end so I want to keep the midpipe on for sure.

the "farting sound" may be only b/c his engine wasn't warm... mine sounds smooth... anywayz if you like it, keep it the way it is, who cares what others think. if you think it's too loud, put on a different exhaust :D

Wow, that doesnt sound healthy at all. Maybe the engine was really cold though... i hope.
Damn, that really makes me think twice, well no, a lot more than twice if i want the B&B midpipe, the supercat, or any other midpipe/cat pipes.
