Right sports car sound.....
If they want to get the sound just right, maybe Mazda engineers should hook up with Acura/Honda's engineers and copy the sound of the NSX's heart.

I would think that the RX8 will come from the factory with an exhaust that was capable of handling the needs of the Renesis, short of forced induction. So, I would expect that adding a bigger pipe will do nothing but increase weight (unless the stock pipe is more kinked than necessary, such as on the Miata, but even then...).

A free flowing (reads: header, straight pipe or presilencer and performance muffler that won't melt in a week) exhaust is the number one performance booster on an NA rotary.

There are no wings for the RX-8. You will have to use your mAd PhOtOsHoP sKiLz to cut wings off other cars, modify them, and paste them onto the RX-8...

...Not so. They tuned it down from 280 bhp to 250 bhp. I don't have any insider info on how, but the easiest way would be through exhaust and emissions.

you mean from the RX-01 RENESIS?? i think they probably "de-tuned" it for emissions, and for longevity... if i remember correctly (and that's a long shot) the RX-01 spec RENESIS had a 10K rpm redline, so you can see that may be a big area for power reduction for the sake of engine life (a whole lot, i'd reckon...), but also more emissions equipment would (quite obviously) improve emissions and choke the engine a bit...
OH!! Sputnik, as for NOTA's aero kit, he's got the IMSA spec one (that's the real race kit that they sold to consumers, i think), just in case you're thinking of the stock pointy setup that the SA had... the IMSA spec kit KICKS SERIOUS ***!! it's too bad that the FC never had anything like that (that i know of), or the A-Spec (japanese) kit for the FD (again, one rockin' aero package)... i hope that the next 7 will at least get one, if the 8 never does <<knock on wood>>
**edit: oh, i see now what you said Sput... :D
