And I might actually have my RB DR midpipe up for sale in a few weeks also..

 

Thanks for the link

Question for you - does the OEM resonator have packing in it? Anybody cut on in half?

 

Just a guess but I would think it's baffle because they're quieter.

 

good resonators have packing, otherwise it will create turbulence and not allow the engine to reach it's maximum power potential

Let me be the first to know .

 

It applies to any high flow straight-thru design, but the only way to prove it is through back-back optimized Dyno testing

 

 

This can only mean that BHR intends to use empty resonator cans in it's midpipe design.

Just relax. My statement doesn't mean any resonator with packing is superior to any without. It depends on the design and packing, of which most are cheap junk. My custom racing cat/resonator pipe costs 5x what your midpipe will sell for. The fanbois won't stop drinking the koolaid if it makes a few more hp and still meets emissions standards. Besides, yours will be all bling-bling shiny and come with a cool sticker.

 

I think you should snap out of the believing your own BS coma and ask yourself if this is really where you want to go? Sniping continuously on your competitors is one thing, but now you want to challenge everything and everyone on the forum who is not in line with the BHR way. I reread the article as well as actually used/tested the product. Apparently I do have comprehension issues because I don't see where you came up with most of that novel.

 

WTF just happened?

 

Semantics.

Each of them is agreeing with each other and saying the same thing, it just appears like they are arguing.



Word choice can make or break a statement regardless of intent


(I can find different ways of interpreting each of their statements, some of them incorrect. However each of them has an interpretation which matches what the article says...)

 

Thanks Ray.

 

You're Missing the whole point and may want to watch who you accuse of having comprehension skills or any other skills for that matter. You could have just said:

"BHR has something new that we believe will set a new standard for resonators and hope to prove it's worth soon"

and left it at that. Don't forget that you were about to ship out this new marvel to your customers following the original koolaid party before discovering that the bugs hadn't all been worked out yet. Despite this misfire you think we should all just gulp it down again even though there are only a few prototypes that were recently put in the field.

This is exactly why I chose not to make personal hobby into a business and also why I've been declining freebies from certain businesses. I don't want to be handcuffed into kissing somebody's *** when I see the potential for disagreement; customers, competitors, or anyone else. I'd rather just be some flunky on the forum who has nothing to lose or take personal.

We can leave it like this or clean it up and go back to being friends. Let me know

 

I'm not saying that you're any of those things, but were all fallible. You'll have to forgive me if I don't follow every BHR thread in detail. To some degree I understand you're livlihood is at stake and it's hard not to separate your personal feelings out of the business equation, but I really wish you and the other BHR minions would chill out on trying to dominate the forum as your personal holy ground.

 

Fortunately my team is just multiple personalities. Multiply me by 3 all beating everybody down for our own business purpose and you might have a point.

Pretty scary thought actually ...

now kiss and hug

 

Drop and roll might be more appropriate

Otherwise I only suggested using the RB dual res midpipe here because it's reputed to be quiet and has been readily available for purchase at a reasonable price with known quality standards. I respect BHR enough not to express opposing views in their dedicated threads and they too have a well earned reputation as a quality performance parts provider.

 

^^ To some degree, this all seems healthy for our forum. People who can deal with "certain situations" and who are able to move forward without the BS are generally people who myself and others would like to work with. Atleast for some of us car enthusiast...

 

I know RB is a quality company, I bought my exhaust from them and love it (it could be a tad louder though ) but the fact that their midpipe has 2 Resonators will that not limit some HP and make it more quiet than BHR's Midpipe which is single resonated and would be louder/ give you more HP? Let me know if I'm correct.

 

resonatores do not limit power or are restrictive in any way its flow through just a helping hand

 

Can I get a Coke with that burger and fries please?

 

I thought The Eagles were supposed to be comic relief to music?

 

so after all of this, i straight pipe my car for fun

wow it was loud, i scared my self every now and then too.

sound was a bit raspy, but GOD I LOVE THE BACKFIRE.

went through and underpass, let it rip to 9k.... sounds like i dropped a nuke in there.

with the rb dual resonated, you guys think i would lose my loud *** back fire?

i actually like the way it sounds straight piped, a bit ricey and droney on the low rpms, but sounds great up top, its just too loud though, not dd able

 

RB DR pipe sounds like stock.
