RX8 Noises
I have a few noises with my RX8 that I hope someone can point me into a direction that it might be.
The biggest one being a rpm depending whirling/whining noise. I think this is maybe related to the Air Pump and/or SSV valve. Am I correct on this?
Also on first startup there is a pretty constant high pitched noise for a minute or so then it goes away.

The airpump is an electric motor, it doesn't vary with rpm so it's not that. SSV is a valve, it produces no continuous sound.
Only delete the air pump if you're also deleting the cat. It's there for a reason.
Truthfully, these cars (all cars?) make all kinds of noises, you'll go crazy trying to identify each one. Is there an actual problem?

I do get a rough idel on the car, but I have coils, plugs and wires coming as a first step in trying to correct that.
other than that and some suspension clunks, I am not aware of any major mechanical problems with the car, but I am also not super familiar with the normal noises this car is supposed to make either.

Honestly, sounds exactly like my RX-8... but check that you don't have the belts too tight. That can cause whining/whirring noises.
The startup high pitched whine is the air pump. There's a rebuild guide here to replace the bearings if it's a screeching noise, but it just makes a lot of noise anyway.
