RevHighOnline.com ships very quickly, I had my exhaust within 4 days of ordering it. Not bad for standard shipping. You should be fine with the four jackstands. Yeah, there are spring loaded bolts that connect from the Cat the the pipe. I cant remember the size socket I used but as long as you have a set, you're okay.

Good luck.

G8rboy

Cool... thanks

I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago from revhighonline, and had it at my door in 4 days! Awesome price ($524), free shipping. Been driving with it for exactly one week now. I do not think it is loud at all! Perfect growl.
Tips have already turned colors, which I think is kinda cool (haven't made up my mind fully).
I have seen no mods on any RX-8's here in Tulsa, it's kind of nice being a little unique now .
Enjoy your exhaust!

I just missed a batch last week, so they didn't ship mine until yesterday... I was hoping to install it this weekend, but now I have to get the pool ready for the summer instead. Now I have to go to NYC on a business trip next week so my SP2 will be arriving and sitting lonely in my garage until I get back : (.

Why must work always interfere with my fun?! :D

G8rboy

Not loud enough to warrant the extra $... and U shud learnt too spel

Is revhighonline the cheapest for greddy sp2?

G8rboy

I couldn't find it any cheaper, on top of free shipping and no tax... hard to beat.

... And I LOVE FedEx Ground- can you believe Saturday Delivery?! My SP2 was just dropped off a few minutes ago... now I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning :D

G8rboy

Woohoo! This thing rocks... high quality, solidy built, perfect fit and looks fantastic. And the best part- the sound-- it sounds friggin' incredible... I feel like I'm driving an exotic supercar. The rev-burble-pop is so much fun to listen to, I know my mileage is going to suffer thanks to my right foot playing with the gas-pedal shaped volume **** :D

The install took a little over an hour - basically one hour to remove the OEM, and 10 minutes to install the Greddy (and that's with a hangover and 4 hours of sleep : ). In case anyone else is reading this before installing- the spring loaded nuts on the cat/midpipe are 14mm, and you'll probably need a deep well socket. My old trick of lubing the rubber exhaust hangers with soapy water spray helped speed the removal of the OEM exhaust quite a bit.

Here are a couple closeups of the tips in detail:

LoveMy8

Same install with me. The OEM was a pain in the ***, but the GReddy was really easy! Congrats on the new exhaust....Enjoy the polished finish on the tips, that will soon disappear! Yeah I know it sucks. Anyway, good luck with it and enjoy, I know I AM!

Welcome to the Cult of Greddy SP2 G8rboy, now you can take over for me the praising of this exhaust on the board when people ask for recommendations. I am going to my first track day with my SP2 5/7 and can’t wait to hear it make it’s music for 25 minutes straight over 7,000 RPM.

G8rboy

Awesome... sounds like you're gonna have some fun.

theCATALYST

Woohoo, another SP2 convert. I bought mine late last year from revhighonline for $502 plus shipping. Been in love with it ever since. And I agree with earlier comments, driving above 5k or 6k under overpasses is really something every 8 owner should experience. Its a real headturner.

G8rboy

On my way home from work there's road cut into the side of a hill, with a 20' tall retaining wall on one side... today I had that piece of road to myself, and as I ran it up to redline the Greddy was reverberating off the wall- it sounded like I was being chased by a Formula race car at 9000RPM. I had an eargasm

I want this system, but I am really don't want anything too loud. How would you compare the noise to the stock system?

G8rboy

Well, at idle and low RPM cruising, there's just a subtle bass note to it - reminds me of a 350z/Infiniti G35. At wide open throttle however, it's quite loud... considerably louder than stock. So far I've heard the Borla, Racing Beat and now the Greddy in person... the Greddy is easily the loudest, but not to the level of a civic-ricer-fart-cannon exhaust... it sounds much more refined than that. There's no "buzziness" or droning at highway speeds... the two biggest concerns I had. I couldn't be happier with the exhaust note, and with my custom intake, 'N' flash, and exhaust I couldn't be happier with the performance.

Jdunsh

Hmmmmm, its such a difficult decision. I want somewhat loud, but I don't want it too loud to the point where I couldn't take a girl out to dinner in it. Decisions, Decisons!! Its either Greddy or RB.

G8rboy

I will say that the RX8 is insulated pretty good when the windows are up and sunroof is shut... much better than my Miata with a Borla exhaust- you couldn't escape the noise if you wanted to. My wife is not happy with the new and impoved aural experience, but she hasn't been inside it yet, just heard me coming and going, and revving it up in the garage- the sound from behind it is pretty damned aggressive.

Not sure if that helped much... but if you're on the fence with the noise level, you might also want to look at the Hymee Enhanced exhaust.... good looking, great price, and from what I've been told, it's a little more mellow than the Greddy, but more agressive than the RB.

I would also recommend looking into the RX8Store exhaust.....its a Magnaflow system and also sounds great! I just installed it within the past 2 weeks. It has a deep, throaty sound to it that isn't too loud. It sounds great at mid-range and really comes alive at WOT. Besides that, it has my wife's approval!

Jdunsh

haha, thank you for your inputs it has helped a lot, the points about your wives are very helpful. As of now I think i'm going to go with the RB exhaust only because I just ordered the RB intake. Also in the future if I decided to go with a midpipe I think the the Greddy would be too loud for me. Thank you though for your input, it did help.

theCATALYST

I wish I had an overpass long enough to shift all six gears, I would love to just listen to the rrrrrrrrrrr, zip, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, zip, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

expo1

Any long tunnels by you ???

juniorbean

Dumb question... but does anyone have pictures of the tips after they've "turned" colors?

I have Comptech SS Exhausts on my TL-S for almost 2.5 years and they haven't changed colors one bit... so I'm kind of confused why the aftermarket exhausts for the RX8 do this when they too are stainless.

Thanks in advance

I will add my .02. I have had mine on for about two weeks. The place who did the install (they put on sways, tires, wheels, etc) said it was one of the nicest exhausts they have seen. They loved the way it filled out the holes in back. As far as sound, I am totally impressed. I had a hard time deciding between the RB, GReddy and Borla. I am sooo happy with my choice. Too loud? Not at all. Like what was mentioned above, under 4000, hardly a difference. Floor it - get the rpms up - it sounds so sweet. I was out this past weekend, windows down, sunroof open. Laid on the gas a couple of times and heard the subtle roar - music to my ears.

My wife was in the car - she didn't even notice. So....too loud for spouse or date? No worries there either.

G8rboy

I think it has mostly to do with the heat the rotary puts out- our cats run much hotter than a piston engine. After one week, mine have the slightest bronze tint to them... not bad yet. I'm looking into this Never Dull stuff people are talking about and see if a weekly application of that will help.
