so is there a point in installing a midpipe in a NA car without AP?

J8635621 09-22-2009 05:17 PM
More power and sound lol? Also don't have to worry about the cat dying.

Anything to let your car breathe easier is worth it.

Red_Fox 09-22-2009 09:54 PM
but getting pulled over and caught with a midpipe is not gonna be a happy ending

Did you tell MM that you needed to mask the cel? I believe that is something you need to tell him so he can program it (the flash) correctly.

Wankel_Rotor 09-23-2009 06:20 PM
so the only disadvantage to having a midpipe without the AP is the my rx8 will flash the engine lights at me, right? the midpipe actually doesn't hurt the engine in anyway?

Jedi54 09-23-2009 06:23 PM
midpipe can't hurt the engine, it's after the engine.
A well placed little black sticker can fix the CEL.

HockeyRX-8 09-23-2009 06:24 PM
your cel will stay on all the time and no the midpipe wont hurt your engine

mysql101 09-23-2009 06:24 PM
problem with ignoring the CEL is that if you get a real issue that creates a CEL, you won't know.

So most people prefer to remove just the 'cat malfunction' cel, so that any other issues are known immediately.

Cobb AccessPort

No. It helps it breath and you get 8-11whp from it.

I wonder how much power you would gain from a full exhaust. I was thinking around 20whp and more.

The light won't flash... just stay on solid.
It will however still flash if you have a mechanical issue even with the CEL on for the O2 sensor.

If your O2 sensor breaks, you'll still get a CEL because its not functioning at all.

Could be ported for that idling sound. Can't help you on the midpipe/exhaust question though =\

true, it sounds a bit like 20b idling but when he revs it, its definitely a renesis.

HockeyRX-8 09-23-2009 10:22 PM
sounds like it's turbo'd
