The AP is a great little device but please remember that MM is swamped with work so don't expect to receive a map from him for a few weeks...

Expect to be completely ignored for at least a month. I'm almost up to 2 months of complete silence.

I wouldn't buy a AP from him; do the exhaust.

look fellow 8 brother, the best bang for the buck is the flywheel,sorry to be off topic, however dude with turbo is right when it comes to waiting for a new clutch because of the price of instalation. But he controdicted himself by saying" u dont gain power, youll put down about 4 horse". The exhaust you will feel a little and the sound is good, great if you have a borla, no bullshit, its the only ONE BAR NONE!!! Probably like 8 horse for the borla not the most gain but the best sound. The flywheel lets you put down more wheel horsepower, which isnt a horsepower gain on the motor, but to the wheels, which is what matters right? Your 8 will spin up faster than with a stock flywheel, its simple physics, less rotating mass = more USABLE power, got it? I dont have a valid input on the cobb for I have not installed such a part. So it could be good but is it worth the money.. Sometimes you need to think maybe I should have bought a Z06 for the money eeeewwwwww.....

I personally would get a Borla. They sound absolutely fantastic. I'm sure others will chime in on their personal experience with this exhaust.

Once I get the BHR Ignition the Borla exhaust is my next mod.

This system (part #140078) installs to the flange located just after the catalytic converter and is made from full aircraft quality high quality austenitic stainless steel. Borla incorporates a single 3” mandrel bent inlet pipe leading to a 19” long, 10” wide transverse flow muffler. Exiting the muffler are two 2.25” tailpipe tip assemblies. It is a split rear system with a 4” Borla embossed single round, rolled edge, angle cut polished stainless steel tailpipe tip at each exit

If you really want an exhaust then get a high flow cat. instead. More power and cheaper. Cat is ~10hp. Exhaust is 3.5-5hp at the most.
Agree. Do the high flow cat instead of exhaust. You will get better sound and more power. If you still want more sound after the high-flow cat, you can always add an exhaust then.

I would strongly recommend the Rotary Performance Supercat. It gets a lot of good reviews, and I had great luck with their customer service, even though I bought mine used: http://www.rx7.com/store/rx8/rx8exhaust.html
