It isn't as bad as my friend who had an unreasonated RX7 store midpipe on his is.
Drove around a bit today, the car is very tolerable at normal cruising speeds even with my HKS hi power on. Only time it's a bit loud is just getting going, but I think the exhaust I use has more to do with it than the pipe. The car sounds great now. Car feels fantastic at high rpms also.

Scott, I just want to say thank you for making an absolutely flawless piece. I only wish all other companies would put in the attention to detail and quality of work that you do in your products. This was worth the wait, and you have gained a customer for the long haul.

I know with a midpipe you're going to smell something. But how bad is it with Mazsport's pipe? Just want an idea cause if it's wife/girlfriend and mom tolerable, than this is my next pipe. I currently have a hi-flo with a Borla and IT'S LOUD. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S COLD OUT!!!!
You have a wife and a girlfriend?

Actually my fiancee, but you got me (getting married in Chiang Mai, Thailand 3/20!!!!).
So it's still the same smell, eh? Any ideas on air fresheners to nutralize the "who farted sulfur" smell? (hehehehe)

Haha nice. I still think the other way would have been more interesting. Congrats thou 
For the smell - while you're driving you obviously won't smell anything and if you have the air on recirculate you shouldn't die at stop lights. What really killed the idea of a midpipe for me is the thought of sitting in my driveway in the morning, or at the office in the evening, warming up the car. I wouldn't last a week cos my neighbors/coworkers would strangle me...

need to post some videos of WOT.
The video's mazsport has are of cruising - so it shows how there's zero drone, but not how much muffling is done at higher rpm ranges. Having some exhaust sound is desirable.

Thanks for posting - hmmm, need to think about this one, lots of money here.

thats pretty good. the hks hi power can even make a turbo car too friggin' loud. So if it makes hi-power quiet enough to not make me want to rip my ears off my face, then it should work for anything.

It's really not that bad. Like I said, first and second gear during normal driving are DEFINITELY LOUD, but other than that no complaints. I love the tone of the exhaust.

will this bolt up to the turboxs exhaust? I know the turboxs has larger than OEM flanges, but would this really be that big of a problem?
has anyone installed this with a turboxs unit? Solve the exceptional raspy loudness?

There is a significant reduction in volume and the raspyness will turn to a much deeper tone as well.

it's not that bad. It's not silent, but it's certainly bearable. Slow uphills re the one thing that kills me, damn it drones. I'll try to take a few while driving videos so you guys can judge for yourselves how one of the loudest exhausts on the market sounds with thie midpipe.
