yea but put 6 mods that give you 2 whp each thers 12whp. it adds up

Notice how good at math i am

mmats69

very true. but the money you spend to get that small gain is not worth it to me

lol, well thats contradicting as I read all the 1-3whp mods you had on your winning blue RX8 that you sold.

I was aware that the exhaust would only change the sound as it does with every other vehicle. The intake was a huge mistake.

I didnt think the intake was that big of a mistake, I mean it adds cool sound and it feels like it breathes better up past 8000 rpms......just like K&N said it would, lol. I wasnt expecting 13's from buying an intake.

no, it's what you had the "k&n typhoon v.1" = fail

aem/ms cai/ revi = dyno-proven success

that is CORRECT. Look at my Dyno thread, more specifically, look at the top 5 cars that day (out of 19 RX-8's) coincidence? not likely...

Pulleys are a waste of money. If you REALLY want to help your car in the long run, you should be looking at Mazmart's new water pump. I know that doesn't sound NEARLY as Cool as a pulleys but your car will definitely thank you in the long run.
Is yours a manual? If so, you need a short shifter.

do I seem like an AT type of fellow!? Haha, yea its a manual, my next mod is between a midpipe and a short shifter. LOL, new poll, which of those two should I do next? My next comission check is on the 5th, at that time I will be buying more crap for my car. What do u guys think should be next?

superdon2

u'll fail emissions test with a midpipe plus the smell of the fumes is obnoxious.

save up for an aftermarket exhaust, you gain ~5hp and your car will sound better

or you can get a supercat (~5hp) which costs half the price of a cat-back system

Renesis07

I would just swap the stock cat on for emissions, LOL. Is the smell that bad? Thats honestly the only thing I'm worried about with a midpipe?

superdon2

^cel!

importshowoff84

Yea, the check engine light will be on. But, all it is telling you about the cat. It won't hinder any performance (at least that's what I was told), all it will do is annoy you until you can learn to ignore it.

I know about the cel, that won't bug me, my gf picture would block it anyway, haha! The smell is my biggest concern, would it stink up the interior?

wassup_nuthin

the smell isnt that bad, to me i dont notice it until i get outa my car then you can smell it but its not like. omg! the smell its killing me! maybe im just used to mine but i dont even notice much ne more.

Renesis07

In your opinion, is it worth the money?

superdon2

i think it's worth it since you literally can't burn it unlike a supercat which needs replacement.

i'd recommend Mazsport's dual resonated midpipe. it's the most quiet among the bunch.

costs more than a supercat though.. with the same price you could get a used aftermarket exhaust.

ill look into that, sound doesnt bother me though so Ill probably just get one that isnt resonated, lol. Catbacks just dont seem worth it to me, I mean all that money for sound, they do sound nice though

^^^......sound AND looks. The stock exhaust looks like it should be on an Accord. Sorry but it is dinky in comparison to what is wrapped around them. To see the sporty RX-8 and see the little, skinny pipes coming out the back.... its kind of like lookin across the bar, seeing an attractive female wit nice rack, and when she comes around the corner you see she has chicken legs and no ***. Eh, but i guess everyones opinions vary!

Renesis07

iTrader: (1)

haha!!! That analogy was amazing!!!! the catback will come later. I looked into a turbo XS midpipe, it said that its designed for the turbo xs catback. WIll that midpipe be okay with a stock exhaust?? Wassup nuthin, u used this midpipe with the greddy, everything turn out allright?

Renesis07

iTrader: (1)

acually, I just noticed that the greddy is soon to come, so your using this midpipe with the stock exhaust, how's that combo wassup??
