Mazsport is the quietest!

 

How much did the Mazsport DR midpipe sell for new?

 

I had to go back through my checkbook just to find out...
I paid $490 for the MazSport midpipe (which obviously would have included shipping).
So I assume it was going for $450 without shipping.

 

I had a Mazsport midpipe on my first RX8 and now have the RB Midpipe on the 2nd ... they are both of very similiar construction. Obviously RB did redesign the two resonators for better fitment, but in terms of sound they are identical. Very quiet, relative to midpipes ofc.

 

still rocking the mazsport here..def. brings the noise down..at the time this was the only solution for making a catless exhaust system sounding nice for street use..its nice to see there are other quality options out there now

 

I was wondering the exact same thing. I'm thinking RB is the way to go for me at least. I hope it will sound ok with my stock exhaust .

 

From the video's i've watched on youtube, seems like all midpipes combined with the stock catback will produce a raspy sound.

 

^yes, you can hear the rasp at around 4k on the stock catback

 

Then never mind to that! I tried to find a retailer of the mazsport midpipe and couldn't find it. Mazsports youtube says it is mazsport.net but that doesnt get my anywhere.

 

Well then you fail because if you didn't bother to search these forums then a simple Google would have shown you that Mazsport seemingly disappeared after scamming scores of people.

 

There was 2 ways of informing me of that. You picked the wrong one. Thanks for being a such a great person.

 

Your right, should have said that it is the closest to stock sounding midpipe that I have heard. Its got a nice deep tone and no droning.

I'm thinking the guys at mazsport were using racing beats pre silencers- They look very similar.

Also I know what your saying about the fitment issue.. i fixed my rattling problem by adding washers to where the cross members bolt up. The washers gave me the clearance that was needed. If this rattling is the problem just add the washers so you can keep your cross member braces

 

Does Racing Beat offer a D/R midpipe that will mount up with the AT?
My Mazsport AT D/R midpipe is different than the MT version. (the S bend between the resonators is larger on the AT)
The reason I ask is because the piping bends and angles are different because of the larger size trans in the AT. Or did RB think of this issue before designing the size of the first resonator so the type of trans wouldn't matter in regards to fitment?

 

I like my AP DR midpipe. It's only loud when I mash it or shift hard but I back fire.

 

mazport is wat i have and its real nice but since they dnt make them anymore go wit the RB DR its the closest to it if not exactly like it sound wise

 

yeah, how is the sound compared to an AP (agency power) dual resonated midpipe?

a lot quieter?

 

no, the ap is loud and will be raspy at certain rpm ranges.
if you want quiet, go with either the BHR or the RB Dual Resonated midpipe.
check my sig for my sound.

 

Id buy BHR's Single resonated midpipe if its louder than RB's Midpipe... , Since I have RB's Rev8 exhaust its not that loud already and somewhat close to stock, I want something a little louder so if BHR's midpipe makes it louder and sound better then im down. BHR's quality/fitment is amazing as well...

 

this man speaks the truth... haha but a little rotary rasp is ok with me =)

 

Same thing with my RB.

 

my 2 favourites haha yea I have the turboxs and its super loud, now thats also with the turboxs catback so the midpipe alone as dozer mentioned may be better.

 

Alright I'm not knowledgable of this but is there any reason you can't put this on a midpipe.. say turboxs? I'm willing to take the hit for asking something stupid but I really have no idea.

As you mentioned Team I wan't to be emissions legal but also have some of the benefits of a midpipe.. In Ontario we have emissions tests every 2 years and I don't have my oem cat.

 

Agree.
I had my car with the MazSport midpipe next to another RX8 with the RB DR midpipe, we both have the AP catback, and they sounded almost identical.
You can't go wrong with the RB midpipe IMO.

 

Yes, you should be able to buy the cat pipe size that matches the midpipe (3" for TurboX?) and mount it in, but this will only make it emissions legal and not help with the sound so much. You still need a resonator to address the noise issue.

 

ugh, saving up for RB dual resonated it is. bhr too expensive, and yes alzorz, because of YOU. i think i might be getting the mspeed catback with my rb midpipe.

my favorite sounding rx8 over youtube so far.
