Hey guys, was wondering if someone has ever put a test pipe on his rx8 ?

Is it easy and what do i need to do? I can lift the car easy no problems, i do my oil change myself, but i am not very experimented in exhaust. So i know its just a piece of metal but if someone has experience that i can benefit of, it would be welcome. (I already know that a CELL will pop on and will have to buy a cobb acess port to remove it.)


(sorry for my english)

 

The car has been out for quite a while.................

Thank you !
But its not a resonated mid pipe, its just straight pipe lol

should be the same i will read the thread tho.

 

A pipe is a pipe is a pipe in terms of installation.

 

Stay away from the OBX midpipe, it is garbage. I had to bend the portion of the pipe that meets with the catback inwards all the way around and still was required strip off several inner layers of the OEM gasket to get the gasket to fit.

If you have the stock cat back it will sound raspy and awful. If you have an aftermarket catback it will be loud as hell. I don't foresee my pipe lasting very long based on the quality of the metal used, especially with turbo EGTs. Even for a pipe you get what you pay for, I'd recommend saving up for the BHR resonated midpipe.

 

your thread

please search and report back to us with an answer

 

Alright, i already bought it, damn... i will try it and if its not good i will ship it back to the seller to be refunded, hope i will have more chance with it, wonder if i should buy a magnaflow catback with it or it will be too loud ? Wich one would be better for the sound ?

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/bhr-midpipe-170605/ not cheap BHR, but like you said you get what you pay for

 

Seen on youtube, "OBX rx8 test pipe" its not that bad, but could be a more deep and clean sound...

 

Volume doesn't translate well over youtube.

 

What do you want to say j8 ?

 

I'm saying youtube is not the best place to determine how something sounds. It can give you an idea of the sound but volume doesn't come across very well.

 

True, well i'l see when i will try it myself, it will be my first experience with exhaust, I wish i will appreciate it.

My uncle have a mazdaspeed 3 and he put a test pipe similar to mine, i think its an obx, and the sound is not much more different, just more louder.

 

Only big question, will it make a noticeable difference in torque/horse ?

 

If I had a canadian quarter for everytime that has been asked, I would have a ton of canadian quarters.

 

lol

 

I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to play nice.

 

I noticed a nice boost in midrange power.

 

Nice thanks beodude.

i know its off topic but is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5PCS-...ht_3555wt_1165

looking nice on a black gt rx8, is urethane good ?

 

It applies to everything, especially things that need to fit

 

i will try it and post if its good

 

Go cheap on product and pay a lot for fitment or pay a lot for product and have cheap fitment. I'd rather have a good product because it will be worth more in the end.

 

why are you looking for everything on ebay? lol
