Works well for hot dogs and marshmellows though.


Someone had to say it

 

^stay away from me!! ><

 

i think it can be dangerous cause i was shooting flames 20-30 times in a day and after 5.5k miles my engine's back rotor wasn't compressing i ordered a new engine with my 6 month savings

 

20 to 30 time a day sounds fun but i guess it was a lil much huh?

 

Do any of you find shooting flames keeps the tailgater's away?

I am intrigued by the idea of shooting flames at people following too close.

 

I see. Melting bumber could get messy. Now I understand the concern.

 

shooting flames at tailgaters are exactly why they bought midpipes..........

 

which midpipe pairs up best with borla?

 

I've been shooting flames like every day too.... and so have many others. You're the first person to say it's bad.

 

According to Borla's Website, it's 3'' piping so I say go with Agency Power, Turbo XS (What I have), or B&B. There's others out there but in my opinion, these are almost all the same. By the way, AP and TruboXS has a resonator built into it, this makes it a bit quieter but still shoots out flames.

 

awesome, thanks for the info.

 

No problem, I'm glad that I am of some help

 

pretty much all of them do, since almost all midpipes hook up to the stock exhaust, and almost all catbacks are designed to hook up to the stock B pipe.

I think the turboXS is the only one that doesn't hook up to anything besides the turboXS catback.


also, don't buy an exhaust just based off what someone says on the forum. Make sure to listen to sound clips (which while subjective, given enough clips, you'll get a good idea what it sounds like).

 

I'm able to pair up the TurboXS Midpipe to the OEM exhaust with a little bit of elbow grease and a special donut gasket. If you don't want the hassle of finding such a gasket, don't buy the TurboXS Midpipe since it was designed for the TurboXS Catback. Go with Agency Power or B&B, the RX7Store one is really good too from what I've read. AP, B&B, and RX7Store should bolt right onto the Borla since it uses it's stock location for the connections.

 

oh so the turboxs doesnt bolt to the borla?

 

No, not onto the borla, it requires some modding on your side for it to fit onto the borla. I highly recommend the Agency Power or the B&B midpipe. Those will bolt right on.

 

oh ok cool. i will probably get the agency power because i heard b&b with borla sounds ricey.

 

without a turbo, ANY catless midpipe on just about any aftermarket catback will sound rice.

also, you're kidding about going with the AP instead of B&B, right? You realize a catless midpipe is just a PIPE. They're all the same length, same bends, and will result with the same sound.

 

Don't some of them have resonators? I remember looking at some pictures of them and seeing different size resonators on there. That should change the tone/sound of the exhaust.

 

resonator is an option you can add to anything. It doesn't change that the catless midpipe is just a hollow tube.

my b&b has a resonator. borla still sounds like rice without a turbo on it

 

I see, but in theory, wouldn't a different size resonator on either midpipe would make it sound different? Lets say if you compare one with a shorter resonator on a straight and another with a longer resonator on another straight pipe, it should produce a different tone, right?

EDIT: Yeah, the sound of my exhaust also sounds rice but at the same time it sounds very rotary

 

It might, but the change is minimal at best.


I only see catless midpipe in your sig. With the OEM catback, it doesn't sound ricey.

 

Even with the catless midpipe and OEM catback, it still sounds ricey to me. It sounds like I have a fart can on my car. You know those civics with those fart cans that sounds really raspy? That's how mine sounds like....

I'll post up a video of it later on today, I can't remember where I left my camera. It should also help O.P. on his decision to get a catless midpipe.

 

trust me, that's not ricey.

Here's a few of the combos I had a while back, including borla + b&b:

Awesome vids. I need to find my camera so that I can post up the vids that I took the other night. Thanks for your opinion on my TurboXS midpipe and oem catback setup
