I have one. Like the sound/looks on it. No HP increase that I could feel. Havent done a proper dyno (detaching wheel sensors to prevent limp mode), but comparing stock vs Greddy dyno's saw a 3HP loss.
Again, this was in limp mode, so dont assume the exhaust lost power until I do a proper dyno :D This is also well within possible variations on the dyno.
I should get my stage 1 this week and I plan on doing proper dyno testing of the car with stage 1 turned off/on next week so I'll have better numbers for ya.

GReddy exhaust is fairly quiet, I would know... I was one of the first in the states to get one... anyways, the tip changes color due to heat - a goldish tinge, which is common for stainless steel exhausts. from dynos, I saw about a 12whp increase, but I could barely feel it.

The evo has a different canister design.
It puts the outlet/tip at the lower end of the canister so the exhaust hides up under the car and all you see is the tip.
Not sure that this would apply to the RX-8 since the canister is hidden by the rear bumper already.
