Who else can say they can see them selves in their midpipe? Hmmm :smoker:

Attachment 251276

After seeing and hearing pdxhak's pipe (we have the same cat-back) this is high on my list of upcoming mods!

Gets Charles another buck and a half...

i'm trying to find time to swamp out my pipe.. i'll take a replica shot.. something tells me it still isnt that mirror-like :rollingla

I agree with this. If only there was something else to make it more prominent...

Like, gee I dunno... A BHR cat back system might help with that...

Silly idea, I know.

:rolleyes:

Hey look! You got the curmudgeon model!

that would explain why my midpipe has always complained about "those damn kids on my lawn"

When is the BHR catback coming out? Will it fit a B&B midpipe? I want it naow!!!!!

Hey Ray---how close to the trans does the resonators get?
I have been running the mazsport midpipe for a couple years now and have been very pleased with it, but I did have to add shielding because it is really close to the trans.
Would yall consider selling a midpiple shield as a package deal?
The pipe would not have to be shielded all the way around--only on approx 50% of it.

Just proves that I'm along for the ride. :suspect:

You ever going to reply to my PM??

What PM? :dunno:

thanks Ray--been thinking about doing just that and getting the front part of my cat pipe weilded on so I can have a better gasket. Even with the carbon ones I can still get a very small leak.

Hey Charles, haven't gotten my tracking number yet, just wondering if it did ship out yet or what the deal was.

Thanks

Drew

You'll know it shipped out when it gets delivered tomorrow morning ;)

Oh boy oh boy :). Don't get my hopes up haha

Looks like it's shipping out tomorrow which is fine with me. I'm just ready to bolt this sucker on, break it in, and send in my calibrations to MM for my tune :)

Aaargh! Poking around the BHR website looking at the fuel pump kit for a winter project, I came across http://blackhaloracing.com/2010/09/1...pe-came-to-be/ which shows you starting with the Moroso added to the midpipe. As perhaps proof of the saying, "(self-defined) great minds run in the same gutters", this is a similar arrangement I came up with this summer on my own. To whit, from my vGarage entry:

"rx7store 3" pipe with Magnaflow 59959 metalic substrate high-flow cat and Moroso 94051 spiral-flow muffler/resonator welded in". (The 92055 has become the 94055 and the 94051 is the non-polished version.)

The Dave Sport was out of stock when I ordered it, so I got the Magnaflow instead. Unfortunately, in the preceeding pages of discussion I didn't pick up that you were gonna offer a cat version (I won't run without one). I bought the pipe used for $100, so parts came to $250 plus about $75 for welding and fitting (not exact, I also had a port-matched manifold installed which I had them do at the same time (no engine lift in my humble garage)). I was a happy camper right up to the point that you tell me that this will fall apart (unless the 94-series is better than the 92-series was). Aaargh!

I first tried it with the stock muffler and was amazed that the sound was only slightly louder than with the stock midpipe. With the Greddy SP-2 on as well, the sound actually seems better-controlled and more tolerable to me, than with the stock + SP-2. I suspect the BHR version will be similar in that one now can "tune" the desired sound level over a range of near-stock to rather brutal by the choice of cat-back. Winter projects include "second skinning" the trunk and floor areas of the car with sound deadening material, which may give what I want without going to an OBX or RB cat-back.

How long before you saw the baffle failures in the "first 7" pipes? Probably need to save my Christmas money for the BHR ... :(

You must be as happy as a dog with two dicks! :naughty: :cwm27:

one track day

In contrast, the BHR improvements are topping 15,000 miles on my 8 with no change, failure, etc...

A few months of stop N go traffic in Miami with BHR improvements and all is well. :worship:

What page are all the vids on of all the comparasons of BHR pipe with catbacks? I found it last week but im not going through 100+ pages!

Well, sounds like I've got a BHR resonator in my future (plus a re-welding job). If the DaveSport survived that, it should survive anything! Any idea what the EGT went to?

Yes, I think the no-cat thing is of marginal, if any, gain - especially considering that DaveSport survives a high level of abuse.
