I've got 6500 trouble free miles on her. According to K&N, the intake yields 12-14hp. Borla says the exhaust is good for about 10-12hp. I can definitly tell the difference (butt dyno only). The engine breathes much freeer, and the Borla has a nice throaty exhaust note. Louder than stock on acceleration but can't tell the difference while cruising.

Those have to be the nicest aftermarket wheels I've seen on an RX8. Nice, subtle, and fits the car. I like it. Good job and enjoy that ride!

Not necessarily, but there is a noticeable difference. They also showed me dyno graph of an Rx8 showing an increase of 12 hp at high rpm.
