It would be awesome if they can produce a mid-pipe that'll not require the permanent removal of the two cross members (or be forced to use a "spacer").
If the sound is the same (or better) as MazSport's and they "corrected" the clearance issue, I might have to put my MazSport mid-pipe in the For Sale section.

I see RK on the list (not a surprise ) so since he is local to me, we can do a comparison between the mid-pipes.
+1 I may have to put mine up for sale as well to try the RB one

By the time I get this new quiet one, I will have two extra aftermarket midpipes collecting dust

To those looking for a DR midpipe I can get it done a lot cheaper than Racing Beat. My exhaust fabricator is in Miami FL. If there is someone that could drop their car off to them for a day they can fab the DR midpipe and I would let them have it for free. There are many resonators out there that would work. Our current resonated pipe uses one large resonator but adding another to it wont cost much more.

If interested email me jason@rx7store.net . Just need a test car for a day.

Having a few dual resonated midpipes to choose from would be fantastic for the rx-8 community!!!

Don't forget we need two bungs welded in for those that use wideband o2 sensors.

EGT & Wideband?

he's under the mistaken assumption that he needs the rear o2 sensor that is placed after the cat

So why did the Mazsport midpipe have two bungs?

turboxs also has two.

your exhaust manifold has a bung for the wideband (for pcm). Your cat has one to verify the cat is functional. Once the cat is replaced with a midpipe, you can unplug that sensor since it's useless and the pcm doesn't use it. So a bung on the midpipe can be used for an aftermarket wideband. The second one for EGT or something if you needed it. I don't think most people will make use of the second bung. Most of them don't even need the first, and more than likely have the OEM after cat sensor installed there.

One of the reasons I like this is because it sounds better than the rest. If it sounds good I'm in.

I would be in if Jason is going to go ahead and design one, its redundant to pay so much for a DR midpipe, its just a pipe with resonators on it.

Late comer... and I just bought a B&B w/ resonator. Not that I'm concerned with buyers remorse but what benefits would this dual resonator have over the B&B beyond the additional resonator ... assuming the front resonator doesn't melt? Would it just be quieter? The B&B is well priced if I'm following correctly.

Search challenged,

I'd be very interested in this, as RB has a good rep. I'd need it to be fairly silent (compared to the noisy catless pipes) and preferably look stock though (but I guess I could simulate that) :D

I'm pretty sure they'll have no problem unloading these if they make them, I'd probably be ready in the spring.

they should make it to look like a cat...haha they could tack some heat shields on it like the cats have on them...now that would be awesome. especially for emissions inspection.
