Any updates? Need this as my stocker is killing my Turbo power. Plus I've only put 1.7k on my car this year and need something to tinker with before my wife makes me sell it cause I don't drive it much.
I have a full race pipe/ catback exhaust ( from manifold to back ) from TURBOXS installed in my car and the sound is beautiful but its insanely loud. I was told to check the BHR mid-pipe cause it should make my car sound a lil bit lower without loosing the quality of the sound. My questions are will the BHR midpipe attach to the TURBOXS catback ? and can any other fellow RX8 owners let me know just how good the BHR midpipe is?
Today, I picked up 50 front and 50 rear flanges. I already have 50 O2 bungs, 50 resonators, 50 hanger rods, and 50 hardware kits.
I dropped off parts for one (1) midpipe to be built as a test of both build process and fitment. Once I am satisfied with both, we begin full-scale production and no more parts/supplier delays. Should all go well, I expect to have these 50 done and shipped by the end of August and the remaining pre-order list to be done very soon after that.

I am headed to our fabber's shop right now to pore over the detail-work on the new run of pipes and the first unit (which will be test-fitted on my car) will be done by tomorrow morning.
As soon as fitment is verified, the green light turns on and the mass-production starts.

You should've taken payments when you made the list (though I know your answer is you won't make anymore pre-order lists).
Personally I had the money for this a few months ago, now we're in a very tight spot (we even had to downsize our anniversary trip) and I'll likely have to wait a bit before being able to afford this.
I admire your business ethics and that you like to shield your customers from paying for something they aren't getting right away, but in another way I would recommend taking money from people while they have it, it's good for business! Though I can also see how this can backfire (turbo kits anyone?).

You did it right. We are all impatient (especially me) but had you taken money, people would be bitching up a storm. I am looking forward to quieting my HKS down a bit.
