Off-topic acoustics education done.

That's some witty remark that seems to escape me at the moment. But touché.

here is a little video I made with midpipe and rb dual, granted I am single so you do hear the wastegate open at high boost, I am running RE Amemiya TA exhaust right now and it seems quieter than the RB duals, still have to get the car on the road to see if it is quiter though

I'm no expert with this. My understanding is that flow is impeded, more on the Magnaflow than on the Borla. Can't remember where I heard this so take it for what it's worth. Either way, I'm very happy with the Magnaflow setup from the RX7 Store.
