Hi all,

I've have the new MK 3 version of my RX-8 catback Sports Exhaust fitted to my car for a couple of weeks now, and the first production unit has been made with a batch to roll off the production line as we speak.

Improvements

New full length intermediate pipe. Fully mandrel bent stainless steel tube. The stub-adaptor is abandoned. No longer is it necessary to pull apart that pesky factory u-bolted slip joint!
New heavy duty jigs for professional series production.
Slight flow improvements - reduced bends.
New OEM style hanger brackets with locating knobs.
Further welding "Pulse TIG".


The original characteristics are all retained, including the beautiful looking 4" slash-cut double wall stainless steel tips, perfect note and no drone. If anything, that note is slightly improved IMHO.

The same characteristic pops and crackles during shifting and trailing throttle are still there as well. Put a big smile on my face when I drove it for the first time :)

Pics shown don't show the 02 Laser engraved stainless steel ID plates, which are coming soon from the engraver.

Enjoy the pics!

Cheers,
Hymee.

PS - I would like to get a Group By together for you US folk so we can work a bulk shipment stateside to save on exhorbident shipping costs. 10 units will be enough to get going.

:Eyecrazy: Oh....she's a beaut Mark! Simply gorgeous!

Damn............I have the RB exhaust but this looks awesome.
Not to hijack the thread, but can you PM me with any US SC plans you may have and when.............or at least direct me where.
I know about the thread, but can't find the plans on bringing to US?????

That is one b-e-a-utiful exhaust!

No price yet? I may be interested!!!

as of now the price on mazdaparts.com is $785

that looks like pure sex

as of now the price on mazdaparts.com is $785

He still has one or two Stainless MK1 systems available.

Since then, stainless has gone +, USD has gone -, and the new intermediate pipe has been added...

Cheers,
Hymee.

Ugh. Out of my price range =X DAMNIT. I WANT IT.

wow, that is one SHINY and sexy looking exhaust. The tips look a little odd to me because they look 'thinner' then most of the exhausts I've seen. Might just be the angle the pics were taken at.
Still great looking

its gay cus its hard to buy hymee stuff in the USA!

you should bring some stuff over for SSXI!

wow looks great Hymee!

Btw, thanks Snipz for the price ;) Missed your post.

forgot to ask what the price would be though... hehe. got a little too excited.

Looks very nice Mark, slick piece.

Mark that looks excellent!

How does the weight compare to stock?

I dunno, but it looks better, sounds better, goes better and the boot (trunk) and console areas are noticable cooler.

Cheers,
Hymee,

Nice:)

What's up with this crap! I thought Hymee made car parts, not pieces of ART work.

those mufflers look smaller. Nice job.

But I still don't understand why you don't have one muffler with two pipes comming out to the rear.

I would think that would be better flow,

Hymee.... have you been off roading again? I see alot of dirt under there :)

How much does she weigh?

just stunning!!!!!!!

back pipe dia?

very interested. borla for sale ;)

beers :beer:

Is that the price for the MkIII?

edit: I meant MKIII

Is that the price for the MkIII?

edit: I meant MKIII

I'd say that would be the price for the existing stock. AFAIK, he only has a couple left, and they are the original MKI version. There are no MKII's exported to the USA. There are about 15 spread between Europe and Australia.

There is 1 x MK3 on the road, on my car, and a couple nearing completion at the factory.

MODS: Can I get permission to run a group buy thread for the US folk?

Cheers,
Hymee.

looks nice
What is the weight?

Any sound clips?


Thanks.

weight?!

looks nice

Any sound clips?


Thanks.

i think there might be one in the exhaust summary thread.. i think hymee is using the same mufflers so the sound should be close to the same..

the thing in person,, well the tone is dead sexy..

beers :beer:

What does the stock system weigh?

hymee according to this (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=81791&highlight=weight+stock) thread the stock system weighs 38.6 lbs

I have the original MK1 with stock cat, love it - the sound and looks are to die for.

That's his post with the sound clips from 2004. I didn't see any from later. That sticky could really use some updates on the front page.

It'd be nice to hear the mk3 and compare the two.

hymee according to this (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=81791&highlight=weight+stock) thread the stock system weighs 38.6 lbs

Is that with intermediate pipe?

Cheers,
Hymee.

Stock CAT back weights about ~40lbs.

Is that with intermediate pipe?

Cheers,
Hymee.


yea,

mine came in at 39.5 lbs.

beers :beer:

so amazing looking, sounding, and built great........can we say group buy????

my eyes hurt its so shinny!

What is the measured dB for this exhaust?

Maybe I missed something, but with a group buy what would we be looking at in terms of pricing? $785, or is that the MKI price only?

$785 is the MK1 price from Mazdaparts. I'm looking forward to hearing some more news about this exhaust

Damn it Mark, Whats happening to you ! Stop making Beautiful objects all the time ! Go release a newer version of the Scanalyser !!!!! :P

j/k :P

Anyway, depends on the final price, I might hop into the GB. Please let me know how much it would cost, the weight, and pipe size. Cuz Im going to Turbo it one day.

Hell Im going to SSXI this year, if price is good, you might as well just bring a few with you (lol) and we will install it Right at SSXI, of course I will pay ya with those Green looking cash :lol:

But them green bills aren't worth so much any more... :(

I think it was 94dB in accordance with ADR27A (Australian Design Rule) - stretching my memory here.

Cheers,
Hymee.
