maybe i should start a new thread with this question.
ps: i'll be getting a reflash after all the above is done, if that matters.
I think it would be bad if you were to go with a dual, that would definelty open it too much and lose some low end power/torque.

With the mods up front you need to open up the exhaust some.

I just left their shop and they found a supplier, their previous one went out of business, and they are meeting up with them this week to get pricing and such so hopefully I have somthing by the weekend.

still, the rasp is getting on my nerves
i don't understand how the ypipe could make it raspy...usually the cats/pipes are the cause, or a less-muffling mid/bpipe or muffler.

sounds like you need to get it up on a lift to hear exactly where its coming from.

ya, no plans for dual setup. i like the stock exhaust note, and the testpipes i installed last nite make it more pronounced without rasp.
i'm wondering if replacing the stock mini-muffler of the stock bpipe with that of an aftermarket bpipe would increase rasp. i hate rasp cuz imo, it sounds cheap.

The ones I have heard with the Japtrix mid pipe did not have the rasp. The rasp is mainly due to the test pipes. or going with a straight mid pipe without a resonator.

Sorry they have been really busy with rebuilding their EVO motor and installing a turbo on their RX8, but the parts are at the supplier for evaluation and they should meet soon to discuss making them.
