Angry Driving me freakin crazy.......

I got this problem with finding headers, downpipe and high flow cat that come all together. I got friends of mine with other "tuner" cars that get sets like these for around 600.00 or so. I can only find these parts separate and I'm about to spend an arm and a leg to get them that way. I don't even know if this is a place where I can post a question like this, sorry about the inconvenience, but I'm new to the forum thing and I'm getting really damn mad here. I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

Welcome to the forum!
I've never seen an all in one and the headers I've seen are horribly expensive. The worst part is that they won't make much power. Check the vendor section on the site for more info.
Why not go FI?

Thanks man. I know that all of the stuff is too expensive. I found OBX headers for about 300.00 and i know over all im not gonna get too much of a hp gain. Right now I'm only looking to do the general mods for it. I don't know harldy anything about a rotary engine and I'm just kind of toying with aftermarket parts for it. And the going FI... anything right now is way out of my price range and I don't want a used turbo or anything like that. Got any good vendors with some good deals?

I'm afraid that nothing other than FI or NOx give any real power gain on the Renesis engine. The basic mods are well covered on this forum in the horsepower sub-forum
You can look into the Racing Beat ECU flash, Cat back, Cold Air intake but don't expect much HP for your $$
Everything power related for this car is 1) expensive, 2) of limited effect because Mazda did an excellent job of extracting power from this engine.

The exhaust ports are the bottleneck, not the headers.

save your money for the super charger that's already out but give them time to tweek out most of the bugs.intake and exhaust are as far as you want to go untill the s/c is completed.ther are a few other mods but i would not mess with the headers or midpipe as long as your under wro.(jmo)

I appreciate all the advice. I've noticed that most of their cars really can't touch it, but either way, I'm always lookin for something more. Where can I find out more about the new supercharger?
