Updated! End Links and Anti-Roll bars ordered, coilovers are on now. I found out I'm getting a Bonus this year... most of it is going to Australia and the car loan... but I might blow some of it on getting the exhaust done sooner >_>

I love the sound but I'm honestly not sold on how good the light blue tips will look.

Hm, it will match up with the light blue stems on my wheels but those have always bugged me a bit too. I'll have to try it in photoshop... speaking of which, I just got paid back by my housemates and I've got a surprise bonus coming... I might just buy this week... Free next week, Brad?

No problem

So now you need to make the decision between exotic speed and bhr? Will the brh catback have Ti tips?

Sorry if I was unclear, I'm waiting on BHR releasing a version of their midpipe with a highflow cat. For Cat back, I'm still sticking with the R1-T.

That said, Charles says BHR is thinking about doing a catback as well but that it's months away at this point. Something to consider for next season at best, but I really like the sound of the R1-T and Charles wants to base the sound of the BHR one off of the Borlan's sound.

Since the Borla is my favorite sounding cat-back I would like to use that as an example or basis of what I hope to achieve with any BHR Cat-Back offering. I do hope to have a unique sound, just as we do with the BHR Midpipe, and I am sure that can be achieved because our mufflers will be custom-made. Probably the coolest feature of our midpipe is that it tends to bring out the different characters of each cat-back they are used with while still keeping some of it's own tone.

I am also pursuing a couple cat options to see which one would be a better choice for our midpipe.

Right now, we are making slight improvements in the design of the midpipe and once that is done I will focus on the development of a cat-back system.

Prob one of the only body visual mods ill spend money on is that EU spoiler. I like how it sits more flush to the trunk than the Evo-R trunk lip does.

Does the new US rx8 have the same lip spoiler as their EU counterparts?

Don't worry, it only takes 3 BD's to get them. Shipping blows my mind. I used to ship documents overnight to London and as long as I got it in before 5:30pm at 10:00am the next day I'd get a delivery confirmation.
