MO New RX8 Owner! Advice on Upgrades!? Any at all.

Have an 06 2 days after i had it coil went out. Drove it home
Replaced it. Cat is now done for. Need advice on which brand to go with for midpipe. Looked at alot. Kinda want it to be legal. But at the same time still sound really good an have that low tone pop an back fire to it. Havent paid sales tax on it yet. Saftey and Emmisions is up in 3 days. So ill have to have that redone before i go and pay tax on it. Also any input on intakes or stay stock an put the K&N filter in? Any advice at all. Read all forums. Youtube videos ect. Just confused. Helppp! Thank youu!

Midpipe is never legal, since you're tampering with the emission system.

Keep the stock intake. Keep away from K&N air filters - they don't filter very well, and you'll get dirt running through the engine.

If you have not yet found and read

you should read it. A ton of great info that will answer most of your questions about taking care of your 8.

Good luck and have fun with your ride!
