Are you carrying this yet?

I want to buy the pipe, front and rear sway bars and end links from racing beat.

They quoted me at $690 shipped to 33185. Can you do any better? I ask cause you gave me a good deal on the exhaust, spoiler and intake from RB a while back.

Let me know, thanks.

Jason

Im sure I can do better on those prices. We also offer a racepipe that is a little cheaper and the samething.

im might be interested in the racepipe too!

Fearsomefatman

interested in this race pipe also, how many peeps have to get it for the price to be significantly lower... I mean 5 bucks off realy isn't that great

mysql101

racing beat tends to sell at their msrp, so you're almost always better off buying from one of their vendors instead.

I emailed Jim at racing beat and he said to expect about 4-8 ponies from this pipe. I was a little taken aback as people with the rp supercat say 8-12. Also, the with the supercat you get no CEL and with this you are almost guaranteed to. But the advantage of this would be that it is 150 dollars less than the supercat and it is a Racing Beat product.

just received the order yesterday...

Took too long to answer me... :-)

you know how it is when you have an impulse to buy something...

how much hp can we really get from a race pipe?

Fearsomefatman

more importantly, would it be possible to fit a resonator with it so that we could use it in the street?

Jason

I can do our racepipe for $190 and the resonated pipe for $260. There isnt much difference between our pipe and Racing Beats as they are just straight pipes. If people want the Racing Beat I can save you $10 off their price.

do you have any pics of your racepipe? at that price i might be interested

samspick

pics please..

llzjayarzll

whats the differencebetween your mid pipe and your cat midpipe? arent they the same thing?

WRXtoRX8

no pics yet i see. anyone on here already have their pipe?

otrovago

yeah, I got it and it sounds sweet... I'll post pics and soundclips later..

WRXtoRX8

cool thanks for that price I think it seems a like a great pipe for the price. just curious about the quality and sound

WRXtoRX8

otrovago where you able to get pics and soundclips? really interested in this pipe

otrovago

I was able to load a clip to this website:

Racing Beat Exhaust and Catless race pipe

Downloaded and tell me what you think...

Just curious, does it sound a lot better in real life than it does in the clip?

otrovago

yeah, that clip does it no justice... I had the stock clip and this one so that you can just use it to compare the difference but that one got corrupt and I can't use it no more. You can ask anyone that was at the dragon run this past september to see what they thought of it....

OK, so I'm given to understand that there is not much HP left to get from my 8...even with all the aftermarket **** out there. From what I know, that was the whole point when the engineers let the RX8 leave the factory.

What's the point to spending over $500/part for only 4-8 hp gain? I have the dough, but does it really make a difference you can FEEL?

My thing might be "weight reduction." Wouldn't that improve my 0-60 times and handling?

I'm thinking carbon fiber hood/trunk and lighter wheels for starters. Then, removing back seats and having some custom interior work done so it doesn't look like ****.

Let me know...

Also, I do want a louder more free flowing exhaust. There's a lot of talk online about these racing exhausts. Doesn't the car lose the dual exhaust outlets with that product?

I was thinking of buying the GReddy exhaust I saw on www.mazdatrix.com. Any opinions?

PS - Why not save some money for some twin turbos like the old RX7? How much for those?

James.

U gotta understand, like you said the 8's N/A power pretty much on the max already

say you're thinking about the hood, Stock hood is like what, 16 lbs ? and a Carbon fiber will only save you about 1 lb of weight. If Im not mistaken.

The stock wheel is only about 20 lbs each. a *light weight* one usually comes in about 16, thats 4 lbs of saving for each.

Removing back seats ruin the idea of this car. You should've got yourself a 2 seater instead.

Single outlet exhaust will give you better flow when you go FI. for N/A , dual or single doesnt really make a different.

Greddy exhaust is a waste of money, most people who had it before got rid of it and got MS dual exhaust.
