really? cause i have been pulled over twice without a cat and i just got a fix it ticket for emissions..

 

you're lucky, that's the one thing i'm afraid of. but i am usually a very cautious driver around the city. did they know you didn't have a cat?

 

i bought the exhaust new in december from fluid. it came with the DR midpipe in post #4 here https://www.rx8club.com/race-roots-134/absolute-best-pricing-agency-power-164063/

 

yeah, the cop knew i didn't have a cat so i got a fix it ticket..will you really get your car towed if you don't have a cat on?

 

this is all information i've heard and am not sure about the validity of this, i tried googling it for a source but could not find one, but removing or tampering with the catalytic converter is a federal offense punishable with an up to $800 fine in california. does anyone know if this is true?
i know if a shop tampers with the cat the can receive a $10,000 fine

 

Just got my AP exhaust installed and damn is it sexy!! But its also loud as hell. AP included their DR midpipe which makes it loud. Will the loudness die down once its broken in? If not, then I might just put my factory cat back on and just use the AP as a cat-back.

 

It will not, in fact it may get a bit louder. With the mazsport dual resonated midpipe, it sounds sexy..but as you know they are not around anymore. Racing beat will be coming out with a similar design hopefully next month. Check out my thread here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/%2A%2A%2A%2A%2Aattn-all-those-wanting-dual-resonated-midpipe%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A-161303/

 

05rex8 is the only one I know that purchased an AP that had two resonators on the mid-pipe.
I remember him posting about it a while ago.

 

correct, here is proof...pics of when I was selling it:

 

Awesome... never seen it before.
At least that'll fit in the exhaust tunnel.

 

Yeah had my AP exhaust for a while and love it! Thought it was to loud at first but love it now. Never heard of any flames coming out of it though, does this really happen that often?

 

i have the same mid pipe. 2 resonators. But i got mine off of sportcompact cars's site i think. Would a stright pipe like the RB b louder? There is a shop close to me that makes test pipes.(evolution performance)

 

yes.

 

Kicking myself for getting rid of my AP midpipe.

Thought a High-flow-cat would be quiet enough, it was hella loud, and I loved it. Till I got pulled over. Now I'm going to be buying another one off Fluid.. Will a non-resonated high-flow be quieter than this midpipe?

Either way, I don't care.. Just curious

 

you got pulled over with an RP supercat?

 

Yes they will tow you.

It's upon officers deiscretion, so.... if your a dick or speeding too much you will get towed for sure.

 

Nah, it was an SR motorsports high-flow...

Same deal, basically.

 

that sucks..have you been towed before or what?

 

How would one rate the dB of this exhaust to the HKS Hi-Power? (keeping the stock cat on the car for both applications)

 

does anyone know how this exhaust compares to the HKS Legamax in the aspect of hp gain and sound
thanx

 

There is anyone who installed the agency power catback with a midpipe that had a cat and a mid muffler ? like sard or re amemiya or hks? The sound is gonna be more quiet ???

 

Thats why its good to know the commanding officer of your local bureau and get a lady officer number well your at it

 

i have the AP DR midpipe with greddy SP2 exhaust. and i love it. i think it sounds great.
the whole "will the sound change when broken in" yes it does. its still loud but its a nicer loud. when you first have it on its a winey loud. after a some mles and high revs the heat it will change. at least mine has...

def puts fireballs out the tailpipes also. doesnt take much to do that on the rotary. its not very loud. its not a POPPING backfire.

 

I also just installed the AP exhaust yesterday. I didn't want to have trouble with CEL lights so I got the RP supercat with it and sold the race pipe that comes with the AP exhaust. Not a bad deal. this setup is AWESOME in my opinion. Sounds great, notice in power increase, and just looks great. I installed it during an engine performance class i am taking and people from other classes couldn't stop complimenting on its great sound when we started it up. Everything bolted up perfect. and still no cel light.
