if the EPA find out youre running without a cat (in a state wheere the EPA has powaa), they can fine you some big bux.

i think if you dont have on in aus, its upwards of 3000 or something silly like that

MM's map for the Cobb gives a real 'feelable' increase, which is all you can expect.

That, together with the raised idle and increased oil injection rate, make it a very worthwhile spend.

Not being a machanic or anything, is the Cobb something I can do myself or is it difficult?

You could load maps easily, yes. You probably couldn't create your own maps/tunes.

It's just a matter of of plug into the OBD port.

If you wanted a car you could dramatically improve for $1000, you bought the wrong car.

Good performance parts and going fast cost money...lots of money. $1,000 is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to RX8 performance.

I agree that a cat delete and the COBB would be your best bet and would cost you about $1,000 when you're all said and done. The deleted cat does cause an increase in the smell of gas. At least in the state of Arizona, I've not once been stopped for it.

I've also traveled to LA, and passed through over a dozen other states with my car and not been stopped for having no cat.

Ive been pulled over 3 times without a cat and the cop never even noticed the smell , just proceeded to give me a lecture of how dangerous it is to have tint and how I should have a front plate, lol.
