Someone local has the same setup, and it is so damn quiet.

Very nice RIWWP. Liked the second one, with the commentary. Skidmarks into the wall.

So what do you think of the sound?

Skidmarks showing sheer idiocy and/or inability to drive are common up here. Hate these drivers.

I love the pipe. I like the sound more than stock, but it's not as good as it could be. I have to wait for you guys to finish developing the header and catback for that :)

It's mostly quality of video, though I do have both windows and moonroof open for the 2nd video, and the phone is ~6 inches from the tail pipes on the 1st. It IS louder than full stock, though only under no-load and WOT, and not by much. For normal cruising low or mid level load and such, it sounds completely stock. Or at least, a trained or experienced ear would be needed to detect the difference.

Yes, Easy, he commented already.:Drooling_

For all of you on the fence and looking for a midpipe, this one is definitely for you. I'm very picky, (an understatment of the year) this gives a very nice tone, I could barely hear the difference in the cabin.

Out for Delivery!!!!


But it's raining like crazy, and watch, I bet you this will be the one time they do not leave it in front of my door to get all wet. Yet when I am expecting a computer part or something for work they always leave it in the rain, :lol:

pdxhak 09-07-2010 09:42 AM

My pipe is out for delivery as well. Still no car so it takes some the excitement away.

Looks like a new pull-down on our webpage for ordering the BHR Midpipe will be needed, asking the question "OEM/MazdaSpeed cat-back currently in use?".

Ray,
I'm using the OEM catback, so feel free to send that hardware over whenever you get a chance. I haven't had a chance to install the midpipe yet and won't get to for another week or 2 most likely... I'll hold off until I get whatever new hardware you've got for me to use :)

Gracias!

Almost 4:00 PM and UPS still has not shown up. Stayed home for delivery so they better show up by 5:00!

RIWWP 09-07-2010 06:00 PM

Mine was delivered around 6pm, when it's typical to get deliveries around 9-10am.

pdxhak 09-07-2010 06:03 PM

Usually 1-3 here so we will see.

pdxhak 09-07-2010 06:19 PM

And of course the pipe arrives after posting :D: Too bad the box is smashed and an exhaust hanger poking out of the box. I need to open it to see if it is damaged.

Nemesis8 09-07-2010 06:22 PM

Crap - is it OK?

pdxhak 09-07-2010 06:33 PM

Everything looks fine. The tape at the end of the pipe was ripped off so the bubble wrap and the ring was loose in the box. Looks like there is some minor scratches but nothing major. But the pipe does not have the CAT so I will need to follow up with Ray. No worries though because I will not have my car for another 1.5 - 2 weeks so plenty of time.

9krpmrx8 09-07-2010 07:03 PM

I like it!!!

Nice looking pipe. Now get it on the car! I want to know how it sounds with your setup

9krpmrx8 09-07-2010 10:35 PM

Well if it wasn't for the stupid torrential rain storms I would have put it on tonight. I couldn't even do it in the garage because the freakin' rain was coming down side ways.

cavemancan 09-08-2010 01:38 AM

No FAIR!!! you got yours before me!!

I fart in your general direction!

Cattywampus 09-08-2010 04:36 AM

I passed the UPS truck while it was driving to the receiving facility this morning. Almost pulled it over to get my pipe. A few more hours and it will be at my door.

9krpmrx8 09-08-2010 09:41 AM

:lol: It's killing me to have it sitting on the work table. the rain has subsided some, hopefully I can get it on tonight.
