HKS hi power installed!!
finally went to full function and picked up my exhaust yesterday and installed it yesterday.
first impression: the exhaust is very well made. HKS did a really good job on the exhaust. all the welds r really nicely done. the whole exhaust is really really light i didnt have a scale with me at the time but just by picking it up by hand it felt really light
Installation: installation was easy it took some time to get the stock exhaust off because of the hangers. but after that it was easy.
after instalation: first start up the engine sounded really really nice. this exhaust really gives out the rotary sound. it's a little bit leaning towards the loud side but i got used to the sound already within 1 day i highly recommand this product if anyone is shopping around for exhaust

RX8 HA HA
FYI it weigh's in at 23lbs
On a natuarally aspirated 8 it won't make anymore power than the next aftermarket catback. On a turbocharged 8 there will be a hp difference. I believe during testing it made 10-12 more whp than the JIC catback. Testing was done on fanmans car. I dont have the dynograph but the power band read a little more different with the single outlet vs. the hks legamax catback. There was a difference in the midrange and top end though. Low end torque felt the same.

i don't think that would ever happen in the U.S. . the typical rx8 owner in the U.S. is cheap and would not want to spend the dime on something like that. Im sure it would cost as much as the titanium system they have for the 350z...which is expensive =(

This one is much lighter though.

i used 14mm and 10 mm sockets and socket wrench to take off the exhaust and the ground wire that's been grounded on the exhaust.
2 screwdrivers and wd40 to take off the hanger it's alot easier that way
it was kinda hard to pop off the plastic thing that surround the exhaust there is 7 pins you have to push in and the whole thing pops out.
and you will also need allen wrench to tight the adjustable ti tip i forgot wut was the exact size but you can just go to local auto store and buy the ones that come in a set of 12 and it's the biggest one

I have a picture of the grill atttached to the exhaust shroud. It was attached with small black zip ties. I also drilled tiny holes for the zip ties to go into it. Pretty easy
