Anything to let your car breathe easier is worth it.

Did you tell MM that you needed to mask the cel? I believe that is something you need to tell him so he can program it (the flash) correctly.

so the only disadvantage to having a midpipe without the AP is the my rx8 will flash the engine lights at me, right? the midpipe actually doesn't hurt the engine in anyway?

midpipe can't hurt the engine, it's after the engine.
A well placed little black sticker can fix the CEL.

problem with ignoring the CEL is that if you get a real issue that creates a CEL, you won't know.

So most people prefer to remove just the 'cat malfunction' cel, so that any other issues are known immediately.

No. It helps it breath and you get 8-11whp from it.

I wonder how much power you would gain from a full exhaust. I was thinking around 20whp and more.

The light won't flash... just stay on solid.
It will however still flash if you have a mechanical issue even with the CEL on for the O2 sensor.

If your O2 sensor breaks, you'll still get a CEL because its not functioning at all.

Could be ported for that idling sound. Can't help you on the midpipe/exhaust question though =\

true, it sounds a bit like 20b idling but when he revs it, its definitely a renesis.
