Guys,
The hard part is done... the internal design has been designed! We are now awaiting the arrival of the subcomponents from our suppliers so that we can assemble the units. Once we recieve the parts, we can start to produce these units very quickly. As usual, updates will be posted to the site.

Hey Jim!
Will you be posting audio of your exhaust? I am very interested in hearing it (plus I don't buy an exhaust without hearing it first). Will you also post dyno charts? Peak HP isn't as important to me as seeing effect over the entire rev range.
Thanks.

I am working on obtaining both the dyno charts and sound clips for the RX-8 system.
My main concern with offering sound clips is the sound quality that is produced by a simple speaker in the computer! Now, I am sure you have a full gaming system with 5.1 surround sound on your computer (or at least a set of decent speakers), but what about the guy that doesn’t? I have listened to sound clips on different sets of speakers, and the results can vary greatly. These clips can actually work against us!!!
I have been working on various methods to record and save these clips, but I suggest you use these types of recordings a rough “guide”. The limited dynamic range of the recording and playback has limited usefulness in replicating the sound of the actual exhaust. (For example, have you ever heard a recording of a rotary engine, a Ferrari, or a Porsche, that REALLY sounded like the real thing?)

Ok just talked to RB about 5 min ago, they said that the first 15 exhausts will be coming out on friday but that all 15 are already spoken for, he did say that mazdatrix preordered 8 of the 15 so get a hold of them. And the second batch of exhaust will be in mid april and will definately be alot larger than the first 15. I think the wait is well worth it.

It has not been decided yet, but the guys at RB said that it would be today or tomorrow that they decided on a price.
By the way he also said to stay tuned for their intake that has tubing to expand on the stock lower right hand bumber intake opening.

This is kind of ironic. On one hand people are clamoring for dyno charts, sound files, pictures, etc of every exhaust out there, and in this thread we have people pre-ordering an exhaust with no pics (other than prototypes) no sound files and no dynos.

PS: Of course if I missed something and there's a "RB exhaust dyno!" thread right below this one I'll feel like an ***...

Sorry 310guy i meant lower right hand side of the bumper!
where the stock air intake opening is. they are replacing the stock and adding a larger diameter air duct that will feed the air box.

Looks like they updated their site and the first production run is ready. $595 from their website, I'm sure resellers will be able to go a little cheaper...
