ok, ive got 3in piping turbo back and the noise is starting to get to me, besides the ricey droning noises, its just too loud, it sounds like a freight truck and draws too much attention. would either buying a resonated midpipe or a quieter catback work? or sould i get both....

id run a resonated midpipe first..

imho this is your biggest culprit..

then determine if this alone will suit your taste..

How about a highflow cat? I hear they cut the noise down a little. You could also pair it up w/ the RB duels.

Everything is a compromise. Personal preference would be the HF cat, the cars w/ midpipes that I've heard all sounded strange but you may give up some performance. I'd go w/RB dual tip for looks, but IMHO, Greddy SP sounds the best.

Definitely get the resonated md-pipe. I've had a HF-Cat and 3" straight midpipe. The rx7store resonated mid-pipe is quiter than both the HF-Cat and 3" straight midpipe.
