Who makes the best catless midpipe now?
The Mazsport dual resonated midpipe was by far the best on the market but now it's no longer an option.

I would prefer one with at least one resonator to keep my car as quiet as possible.

My stock cat is completely clogged with oil from my leaking greddy turbo.

I was thinking about that but my plan was to clean it up and keep it for when I need to pass my emissions test.

I believe 05rex8 ran with the AP dual resonated midpipe and he mentioned it was a lot louder than the MazSport dual resonated midpipe.
I ran with the single resonated AP midpipe and it got annoyingly loud, so I swapped to the MazSport midpipe too.

correct Jon, it is stupid loud even with the 2 resonators. plus you cannot buy it separately AFAIK. you have to buy the whole exhaust system.


Why don't you guys have a muffler shop make one for you with an existing catless midpipe and the racing beat pre silencers? they are probably the same as the mazsport ones.

mysql added a silencer to his turboXS midpipe but I still find it too loud.

Cops are really bad in my city so I can't take the chance.

That is not the best silencer you can get, although it looks sweet.
I can post more if Charles gives me the Ok
