Have you tried contacing Speedsource directly? And I wasn't aware they used a different exhaust manifold on their 2 rotor Renesis cars...

the bar is sold exclusively through Mazdaspeed Motorsports to it's members and I believe it's a front bar only, so limited availability

the same diameter x wall thickness with multiple endlink location holes is available through other sources

for the rear bar I believe they just modify the OE rear bar

the exhaust manifold is tubular and sold directly through SS I believe, again very limited availability so good luck ...

I read a while back that in some cases they were running without a rear bar...

Be careful with header/exhaust selection. It is my understanding that several of the commonly available header options actually make less HP than the stock exhaust.

You can bet Sylvain and the whole SS crew will be extremely busy between now and the 27th or so(I think they have a race that weekend to go win- )
If it were me, I would either email Speedsource with my needs, or what till after the 24 hour race and call. I doubt anyone else in the country has put the dyno time into renesis exhaust work that they have.

Have a picture of the bar? I was told by Mazda Motorsports that it was just a formed tubular bar with multiple end link holes.
