What's the best Midpipe? Give me your feedback
I am currently running a Ebay special straight through mid pipe. I want to make my car quieter. Should I go with a resonated mid pipe or one with a muffler in the mid pipe? I was thinking of taking my mid pipe and having a resonator put in. Or should I but a pre made mid pipe?

I did do a search and there are a few threads about high flow cats vs midpipes. I didnt find one about midpipes and each person review on it. I know im going to get one or make mine into one.

I've got to wonder whether it makes too much difference from one to the next. A mid-pipe is a piece of bent pipe with flanges on the end. Not much room for variance there. A resonated pipe is just the same with a muffler section welded in. So long as it's a straight-through, low restriction muffler, it should be fine. Just make sure you get stainless.
Pipes with high-flow cats are probably a different story.

Just shop around for different resonated mp's from the various Rx7 vendors. Plenty out there to pick from, and there wont be much, if any difference other than price. (assuming your picking the correct size tubing)

on the cheap a dynomax bullet race muffler http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-24219/ although its not stainless at 46$ ya cant really beat it. and get it welded in at any exhaust shop unless you already have somewhere to get it welded in.
another thing to consider after adding a resonated midpipe is getting exhaust wrap and wrapping yours through the mid pipe ending at the connection of the catback. from researching this it usually quiets the exhaust more than adding a resonator from what some have said on the forums here. not to mention you get the heat containment benefit from this.

not just the mid pipe the downpipe as well something like this http://www.banzai-racing.com/20B/20B...w_08-25-09.jpg
i havent done it yet but i have all the pipe and hardware to do so i just need to find the time. im going from a 3" downpipe to 4" magnaflow race muffler mid pipe to 4" flowmaster catback to the new setup of a 3-3-3 with the dynomax as the midpipe and a magnaflow muffler then wrapped. The 4" setup was waaaayy too loud im expecting te 3" to be much more docile.
although my local friend put this setup on minus the wrap years back and said it was very acceptable.
on the sound reduction for the wrap see this thread https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...highlight=wrap
