SO, I am looking through the pics and all of the sudden im like damn, thats an aftermarket exhaust, maybe they will trade me?. So i email them, and less then 1 minute later a lady calls me saying, "Hi, I heard you have some interest in an RX-8 for sale." ?????????? I said no i am interested in the aftermarket exhaust on it. She said it wasnt aftermarket according to the sales people and I was like, I can tell from the pics it isnt the OEM exhaust. So basically I need to know if I am an idiot or maybe i can still get a nice exhaust out of this.

 

def an aftermarket...sort of looks like the mazdaspeed but can't really tell....you're not crazy it's not stock HOWEVER I don't know if a car lot is going to selll u an exhaust off a car on the lot...but good luck they may!

 

Ahh thank you, i thought i was going crazy, but yeah my idea is to trade them for the OEM exhaust, because some people wouldn't want to buy a modified car...

 

What? You want to go to a used car lot and trade them parts off their inventory?

Just wondering... how does a thought like that cross your mind?

 

well that makes more sense, but I'd doubt they would want to do it...

 

^I doubt it too but worth a shot i suppose....

 

Holy overpriced rx8 batman.

 

you have to give something to them.

propose the idea of better sale chance, aftermarket means modified, you modify to go faster. no one wants an abused car, offer exhaust swap, maybe pay like twenty dollars, and get an exhaust out of it, and they get a more appealing car.

 

^yeah alot of people will not be looking for a louder/modifed 8 (of course unless it's onle of us haha)

 

could just be tips w/ oem exhaust...

 

Leather black/red interior but no sunroof? Did they offer a package like that, or is that a FrankenEight?

 

There is a sunroof


It's highly modified 8


If it is Mazdaspeed exhaust, they may state it is "stock" because it is a mazda product and on their inventory or they are the biggest around

 

How does a catback on an RX8 make it "highly modified"? Assuming it doesn't have any exhaust upgrades.

 

^would also like toknow this? highly modified would b turbo supercharger, nitrous...or ALOT of NA and suspension stuff

 

Sarcasm never killed the sheriff

 

maybe JDM stickers are highly modified?

 

Sarcasm doesn't travel over the interwebs very well

 

Could be MS or Racing beat judging by the thickness of the tips

 

Let me know how it goes and I'll trade for the clear side markers

 

i actually did this with my last car (350z i hate it now lol) but usually car lots want cars that are as stock as possible coz aftermarket parts lead buyers to believe the car was abused. i worked at one and the more stock the better so i went to one i saw an aftermarket on and they swapped clean for me just took my stock their mechanic actually did the swap too so it worked out well. as for that 8 it could really be tips on an oem system i havent seen a system that looks like that it looks bigger than the ms for sure.
