I don't think anybody will look under your car to see if your midpipe looks good. The look is not very important for me but it's true that this one looks good. It reminds me the canisters on the Mazdaspeed exhaust.

It's still 339$ on their web site, so you should be able to get it at that price.

I am currently running with this entire setup from Racing Beat. The Pipe is owesome. I drove by a police cruiser, down shift so the RPM would drop below 4.5K the car sounded like Racing Beat exhaust with Cat in it.

As soon as police cruiser when pass me just as I enter the freeway, I open her up and the sound of the exhaust note combine with the Dual Res pipe just put a big smile on my face. The feeling I just can't describe. Just as a side note, my butt dyno feel faster too. I will take my car to R3 and put her on the dyno to see what she gain at the wheel. I will update.

When the pipe was install, I did run into one problem. I am telling everyone who might thinking about getting this from my personal experience so later on, no one would try to blame it on Racing Beat.

Three months prior to the DR pipe put in, I have my clutch replace. When the tranny get put back on, it was 10mm too low. I didn't know! After the DR Pipe when in, it started to hit the brace bracket under the pipe. When the car Idle, it would sound like someone is playing drum under the car. I when to Racing Beat to point out the problem; to make the whole story short, after I have the tranny raised back up to "Mazda Specification- Distance of the center frame(which where the tranny is mount on) to the brace bracket should be exactly 49.5 - 58.7mm" if not, the pipe will hit the brace bracket. Now this is perfect engineering IMO. My car is now sounded like an orchestra playing famous symphony to my ears from standing still to the peeping sound when the needle goes pass red line. Man I Love My Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, anyone who have their tranny remove and put back, if you are going to install Racing Beat DR Pipe, MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE TRANNY MOUNT BASE ON MAZDA SPEC.

Mine should be close too. I don't know why my tracking number doesn't work but Mike from RB told me that my pipe should be home by the end of the week.

I will take pictures and video for you guys
