Mine was 2854 on a set of scales I calibrated myself (15 years in the scale business, in another life).
This is a Base Model with:
Sport Package
Racing Beat Exhaust
Racing Beat Front bar and Endlinks
18x8 SSR Competitions
275/35/18 Hoosier A3S04's
8 Gallons of 100 Octane Race Gas
Add 16lbs for the stock wheels with 275 Hoosiers.

Excellent news. So i'd be looking around 2800 give or take a few pounds. I drove a white 6MT with sport package no sunroof last night. I think I might go back tonight and leave with company..

Supertrapp would be good, but MAN is that going to be loud!!!
There are pics of the Borla and the RB exhausts at the link in my signature.

Loud? **** bro, I don't care. It's not my car. :D
I'm just thinking out loud. Back when I was autocrossing my FC turbo I had a buddy with an FC NA - RB headers to a race pipe to a two-in / two out flowmaster. THAT was loud. I imagine with the cats the RX-8 has, and a factory manifold, it wouldn't be too bad. Plus you can take out all the diffuser discs and make it fairly quiet.
Hey, Cliff - what RPM range do you find yourself in at the big autocrosses? Thinking any torque loss from a straight pipe might be moot if you're above 5000 most of the time (which I suspect you are).

I could show you a bar graph if I'd had something to log data with this past year, though, if you catch my drift. :p
