Ah.... Mazdaspeed kit rear does not have any problems. I have large tips, but no issues, because there is enough space.

The normal Mazda rear does not seem to give enough clearance space for large exhaust tips. So you have to figure something out like use metal guards, etc....

 

I didn't do the modification myself (got the car secondhand), but I know mine is a MazdaSpeed exhaust with stock rear bumper/spoiler.

Does not burn anything, while the car still sounds like a symphony.

 

FWIW, no issues w/ melting on my RB and I had it hot enough to permanently brand a coworker.

 

Yesser, I've been branded with and RB Exhaust... here's my smilie!

 

tard,

i here the rx8 can cause kidney stones also!!!!

beers

 

^^ (inside joke)
At least that one didn't leave any scars!

 

Yup gets hot back there. My friend just got a new exhaust. When he was exiting the freeway he let off the gas and poof poof flames! gased it, let off and same thing! I told him but he could not believe it.

 

do the metal exhaust finishers help stop this?

also, do the metal exhaust finishers help stop the plastic becoming discolored? mine's going a bit gray.

 

First time I realized how hot the exhaust tips got was after a bird had **** on my car at a red light. As soon as I got home I took out the hose and started to use the water to wash off the bird **** off the trunk lid. As the water was running down the back of my car I started to hear sizzling and steam. It was the water vaporizing as it hit my Greddy exhaust tips! Quite the sound and sight.

 

I got the espelir, but mine doesn't shoot flames though, just puffs of smoke, but its still muthafucking hot......I was stupid enough and curious, I drove for like 10 minutes, went out to get gas and was like, hmm is it hot? and then like ZZZzzzzzzz ARGGGGGGG
