The whole line was in violation of User Conduct Rule #7

7. Don't make slanderous accusations. If you have a problem with another member or business, and cannot prove it absolutely, don’t bring in into the forum. It could be treated as grounds for a lawsuit if you do. Provide your proof in any such posts. Post with accusations but no proof will be deleted, and the poster will be notified. If your beef is over a purchase/sales experience, we have an area of the forum devoted to that, the "Good Guy/Bad Guy" forum.


Continuing in this manner will result in more than just deleted threads.

I'm a little curious why the post where the person only said "the only other mid pipe I could find was the one Fluid was selling" and all that was deleted, because essentially he's just saying what you can buy out there right now..Wasn't really slanderous or anything wrong.

There were quoted posts and post that were replies or a reference to other posts. Doing it that way just keep the continuity of the thread better. Yes, one of yours was deleted. So was one of mine.

lol not complaining about mine being deleted. It needed to be, just don't like it when people cause crap like that on a good thread. Just was curious, but good point. Thanks.

Back to topic

Any news about this from anyone? :/

And to answer that guys question (I forget the username)
Yes, only good midpipes right now is
-Preowned Mazmart for sale mid pipe
-Fluid's new midpipe


And upcoming rival of this midpipe is the new BHR midpipe. So not many options now, but some really good ones coming up. Sorta like the Xbox 360 vs Wii vs PS3 battle coming up.

Good is relative...there are more midpipes available depending on what you are looking for. The Mazsport design/sound is the one most desired though.

I am not sure if you are referring to one of my posts, but regardless, please don't forget this is my thread and I am the one that brought this up to Jim at Racing Beat, just to help this community. I already have a DR midpipe; I don't need one. I get nothing out of this. Don't get me wrong though, I don't want to be praised for doing this...anyone could have suggested it to them. I am more than happy to help in any way possible and hopefully this is a way for me to give back to the community; even though all I did was offer RB an idea. But my point is this to everyone: please keep this on topic and show some respect. This forum is getting ridiculous with all the flaming and e-thugs. /rant


I will email Jim to see the progress. However based on my latest email from Jim, don't expect anything too soon since their lead fabricator was on medical leave. He should just now be getting back to work. Let's be realistic here guys. This will take time. I am sure they will not put their name on the line and produce a crap product.

Thanks,
Jon

Just got some news from Jim Langer at Racing Beat. Things are looking up! (for both the lead fabricator and the midpipe)

Thanks for the quick reply. Gerry's ankle is still pretty tweaked, he can only last until noon until it swells up like a giant sausage. Everything is completely healed back together, but the swelling is the main issue with him. He's trying to get things back up to speed, hopefully he can start on the fabrication of these resonated pipes within the next few days. .

Finally an update!

RX-8 Resonated Catalytic Converter Replacement Pipe*
2004-09 – All Models

Coming Soon - Very Soon!! Initial production has begun!

Now's the time to get in line on our waiting list! Simply fill out an order and send it our way. You will NOT be billed until we have the units completed and you receive a confirming phone call from us. There’s no risk, if you decide you don’t want the pipe, we’ll simply give it to the next guy in line. So what are you waiting for?

By now its well known that a non-resonated catalytic converter pipe on the RX-8 can produce a overwhelmingly loud exhaust, but if you require a modest, quieter exhaust tone, then the Racing Beat resonated pipe is your answer. Designed to provide the ultimate combination of performance AND sound, this pipe is sure to be a hit with RX-8 owners.

Racing Beat offers a full 304-stainless steel catalytic converter replacement pipe with dual resonators for RX-8 racing applications. Fitted with two (2) specially designed resonator units specifically for the RX-8 chassis. Both our resonated and non-resonated pipe versions are a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock catalytic converter section. Our replacement pipes utilize a genuine OEM rear mounting flange for a secure fit to the stock (or an aftermarket) exhaust system. Each replacement pipe is equipped with a sensor fitting for the oxygen sensor. (Note: Placement of the sensor in the pipe will cause the “check engine” light to be illuminated, but performance and engine systems will not be affected.)

Legal in California only for racing vehicles, which may never be used upon a highway.
What does this mean? Visit this link regarding Frequently Asked Questions About Emission Laws And Regulations.

Return to the RX-8 Home Page.
https://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda4.htm

Get your order in now. $339 + S&H for a DR midpipe. Safe to say I'm on the list.

Yeah. I tried to pay through the direct link and it bounced me back to their main site because it wasn't on the referrer list.

Damn... the ultimate decision. It pretty much comes down to who will have theirs out first. I want one before Vegas one way or the other.

Based on the statement that they're in their initial production run, in addition to previous statements that they were just waiting on the improved resonators, it would seem like RB has all the parts on hand and just need to do their production fabrication. BHR is planning on having prototypes on display at an upcoming event but haven't given an inkling towards final pricing and shipment dates.

If you're not in a hurry just wait. I think if you're looking for proven sound reduction, particularly the highway 'drone' reduction associated with some exhausts like the Borla, or you need something relatively soon you'd go with the RB which is based off the Mazsport DR which was the only catless midpipe I've ever read about that could handle the Borla drone. If you're looking for a reduced sound than most (all?) single resonated midpipes and reduced weight from a DR midpipe and have time go with BHR.

There is a 3rd player involved. Not many here know Corksport is coming out with a dual DR as well.

I'd rather support the local guys (RB / BHR); also they are the ones that have been advertising their product. If CS doesnt advertise it they obviously dont want us to buy it lol.
