Quiet Midpipe
Well I'm thinking I have clogged cats and eventuallY I'll want more power soon..so I'm thinking of getting a midpipe, ecu, etc.
I really don't want to be SUPER LOUD.
What's a good quality mid pipe that will keep the noise to a considerable amount.
I love how it sounds now....
R1 with downpipe and filter

That's the RX-7 Store resonated mid-pipe.
And drawbacks as to what? That specific mid-pipe, or mid-pipes in general? To answer the former, none that I know of, the latter, you'll have boost spikes since you'll no longer have any restrictions in your exhaust.

What's the difference between the high flow cat and the resonated midpipe? Obviously the high flow cat still has the cat and the resonated midpipe doesn't.

. Seriously though if you are going with a MP you will have to install something to control your boost- manual boost controller, electronic boost controller, restrictor plate, etc... I believe that most hi flow cats will give you around 10hp, whereas the Mp will give you something more like 25mp. Expect to lose a little midrange power but a good bump in HP up top with the MP.There are the new Metallit Cats that are supposed to flow almost as good as a Mp but they are expensive. I just ported my wastegate and bought a greddy profec B sepc II so that I can run a midpipe along with my M2 ecu.

I have the Petitt resonated mid-pipe and now that I'm non-sequential it's terribly loud. Anytime I run hard I am afraid of cops hearing it. I like some grunt, but my God! Does anyone have any comparisons? Even just a bit less would be great!

. The resonated midpipe that I am running is basically the same one sold as Gotham.
