RX 8 - HKS muffler
 

Hi! any 8 owner install the HKS muffler? So far is there any BACK FIRE? Appreciated if can post some comments and feed back. Thx.

hey..u wana c flames tat can bbq chicken wings huh?very 1st ting,the cat gotta b out...then u'l hv to run 'rich' to c 'flames',if not u'l onli hear the occasional 'pop'.

Sam, didnt u already see one of those in one of da meet-ups?

If u r thinkin of buying it - Go ahead! :D

Sounds good to me with occasional 'pops' like cuscorex has described.

I bet my last dollar u have seen it right?????????

heheeheee...............Neon , u r damn rite... I had seen tat b4. On my RX7 turbo, I bbq chicken wings w/o any bbq pit! hehheheh.......
juz called Wong form Garge R and order the HKS muffler and the box air filter..... just cant find the itch bud n wanna to put it on......

Cuscores, thx 4 yr feed bd. But to by pass / take away the cat; wwat would be the draw back or if there is any?

Just install a Hi-flow cat sir! All's well.....

renesis8,the draw bk,the engine chk light wil lit.im askin round those owners of the current model rex hw they got it over-ride...then, will b 500 fr LTA if u got caught(touch wood)

ya $500 donate to LTA for NICOLE HIWAY............ once they caught your car equiped with the so called illegal muffler. that's the thing holding me back to put the HKS muffler ...... but GarageR said that they need at least 30 RX8 onwers to level out the cost for the endorsement and approval from LTA. Dun know when is that going to hapen n I just cldn't wait. And on the other hand hate to bite the bullet by doing the muffler w/o approval from LTA................... Shit ...............

Hey Renesis8 so have you installed the air intake and exhaust? How is the performance of the intake? Sound? Low RPM any issues?

Sam a Sam, just do wad Eugene, Kgoh and me did la.

Save $$ Better performance i dare say - due Cat

And dun spend so much on a filter la. Go buy 120$ Big 120$ Small.

Kena can change car also.....hehe

hehehe........ If I kena..... I wont change car! I;ll keep my 8 and buy 1 more EVO MR.......

As for the air intake, Fab8 clamied tat juz drop in the MAZDASPEED or orther better filter element which r better than changing the whole intake with the box.......

Neon, is not that I dun believed in the performance tat u had done to your muffler... Juz tat I dun feel good and dun know based on wat ground the guy took away how many % of the fibre glass element and replace back how many %.........

But again, if the HKS going to take a long long time to be approved by the LTA. Then I gues I might give it a try..........

Err...don't recall making that claim :confused: Maybe mistook somebody else for me??

Coincidentally, I do have the Mazdaspeed drop in filter element on order and it should be here by the end of the month, so will let you know if theres any difference (not expecting anything much, though...)

Oop.... Sorry. Is my mistake that it should be 2f2f. not Fab8. Sorry Pal. :)

Fab, how much? I forgot...

2F2F, feedback sir. Forgot to ask ya dat dae too....

Forgetfullllllllllll.....
