I just installed a RB dual resonated midpipe today and i'm so surprised with how quiet it is. Same volume at idle and same volume at cruise but a little different tone -- i'd say it's a more mellow tone. The only time i really noticed it being louder was if i gave it the beans from ~4-6k. I dont think it was any louder from 6k-redline but it sounded nicer for sure. Overall it's a much more "full" sound without a huge increase in volume.

My girlfriend went for the test drive with me and she said that if i hadn't told her i installed a mid-pipe she didn't think she would have noticed.

I'm running an Exoticspeed R1-T cat-back BTW.

 

Trust me, anyone who thinks they love the sound of their car with a straight pipe will hate life after a few weeks.

 

not when you have an rb rev 8 my car is so quiet straight piped its not even funny i rarly notice

 

here's a few more for the collection:

 

has anyone else noticed that the price of the RB midpipe price has gone from $330 to $360
now thats some BS...price is from raceroots

 

Racing Beat's site shows $339

 

aight thats where ill get it from then...gotta do something
turbo xs is loud as a ****
sure was hoping i could find one on here for under $300 tho

 

Sorry for the 3 year bump.

I currently have an exoticspeed RII exhaust and im pending on a Racing beat dual reasonated midpipe.

Now i basically want the exhaust note to hopefully be slightly louder, nothing crazy. Can Dual Reasonated midpipes actually make the exhaust sound quieter ?? Stupid question i know lol.

Or am i better off with a BHR midpipe .

 

yes the RB dual res will be quieter
BHR is pretty quiet too though

 

As in quieter than the stock CAT ??

I dont want it to quiet down the exhaust :|

 

No, stock cat will be quieter than any midpipe.

 

kk thanks that all i needed to know

 

I don't notice any sound difference between the stock catted mid-pipe and my MazSport DR MP which uses two of RB's resonators. Unless you count the popping at high RPM's when there is sufficient heat after some beating.
