after installing the RP Supercat i received a CEL, after riding around for a while, i got it to go away

but it needs a hanger, FOR SURE!

 

is your supercat brand new from RP? thats odd, i didnt get a CEL nor did i need a hanger, but every car is different

did you get sound clips or vids yet? :D

 

no sound clips or vids yet, cant find video card

 

^your so disappointing

 

i'll have turbo clips by wed next week (getting mine tuesday - so I figure by wed it'll be installed)

 

msql got the HKS exhaust???

 

if he did nice!!! you should also get the HKS BOV! They sound way better than the Greddy BOV and they're pull type.

 

update:

I got some pics now, the HKS + RP Supercat connect 2 different ways. The Supercat seems to connect straight and for some reason the HKS seems to connect upwards . I didnt understand **** the mechanic was saying but thats all i seemed to grasp from the situation. The bolts I was sent were horrible and caused alot of gaps and leaks which made the exhaust sound like **** and made the fitment horrible. Which was the first problem fixed. Next thing that seemed to be wrong was the gasket from the headers to the front of the CAT was blown and i nor the mechanic had a gasket to fit the 3" piping so he used a silicone product. Blah Blah blah **** the talk, to get to the point: I spent some time at the shop, snapped some pics and fixed the fitment and sealed the leaks. The RP Supercat + HKS exhaust combo sounds good together, could use a resonator if your not going turbo but in my situation a resonator would not be necessary.. here are the pics:






video clip coming soon hopefully, cant find my ****** video card.

sorry for the **** pics, it was taken on my sidekick3 (shitty camera)

 

congrats man...need video and better pics next time!

 

Yeh definately. Im giving up looking for my video card so im calling my cousin to use her digital camera which has video. So i should have it up ASAP

 

good man bruh

 

That doesn't sound good. Is the fitment that bad?

 

ok finally got around to making the sound clip, enjoy!!

and yeh the fitment was kinda shitty but i didnt have the bolt and gasket kit when i first installed it, but i have it now so that made a difference.

nice niceee

 

sounds awesome!

 

Nice video… now let’s hear it moving! HKS designs their Cat-back exhausts to fit perfectly with the factory CAT. I have found that the RP Supercat is slightly longer and the rear flange sits at a slightly different angle than factory. With the Supercat and my old HKS Legamax exhaust used together, I noticed that the tips were pushed out about an extra 5mm and the R & L tip alignment was slightly rotated.

 

wow that sounds mean! take some drive bys too =D

 

hmmm, I might be okay then, cause the b&b catless pipe fits fine with the aftermarket and stock exhaust system

 

yeh the rear flange is slightly different and it doesnt fit all to well. ill go take some drivebys right now.. check back soon.

 

wow that sounds good! now some 9k revs and driveby's! note, it starts to sound even better after about a few weeks of driving!

 

uploadin 4-6 new videos right now, some revs and some drive by's!! just having some troubles on youtube for the moment.

 

here ya go:

Enjoy!

 

so would you say it looks awkward with only one tip

 

I was hoping for some violent rev's, but cool anyway!

 

no, not really, the rx8 doesnt need 2 exhaust tips, its all just for aesthetic purposes.
