well mazsport is an authorized racing beat dealer, soo they could have just used those.

Nemesis8 01-24-2008 11:30 AM

Anybody have one installed with the Racing Beat REV8 exhaust? Curious as to what the exhaust note sounds like.

chetrickerman 01-24-2008 11:50 AM

All the hot air you spew has more to do with global warming than my midpipe. :icon_no2:

470 bucks? I'll pass.

WRT RX-8 NA performance I've accomplished more than most anyone else here, and being emissions friendly in the process.

Kind of funny that some irresponsible punk claims that I'm the one spewing hot air :lol2:

There's no skill in talking trash. FWIW, the cat I used will support up to 400 hp. I haven't seen too many Renesis applications exceeding that. I wouldn't expect guys like you who spend thousands on wheels , turbos, etc. to invest $700 for a cat converter, typical.

I hate Mazsport prices, $470 for a mid pipe?:nono:

I have melted/destroyed every other midpipe I have used. This one is holding up nicely.

I melted the packing on ones with resonators and got a nice rattle from them. The other ones made my car for too loud to be tolerable. Then there was the one that didn't fit right and shot fumes up into my car. Then there was one that I was told would scrape as it went over instead of around my diff.

You get what you pay for. You think it would be better for me to buy 3 midpipes that didn't/don't work or 1 mazsport that does?

chetrickerman 01-24-2008 06:49 PM

^ what he said sums it up

It was a reference to the fact that you don't polute (hot air) and that I don't believe in Global warming. :dunno:

Not talking trash. Didn't mean to come off that way. I have 2 cats in my garage right now. The OEM and an aftermarket. I also have a resinated midpipe. I can switch between any one of them at any time. Plus I only drive my car about 5K a year. So I did and continue to spend the money on a cat converters.

Team,

I dont know what CAT you are using, but I have been through, Random, Stock, Steelcat, Bonez, and whatever Rotary Performance down in TX uses. Not one of them survived except the stock, which I removed before doing anything crazy to the car.

Actually both the guy who sold me the Random and the guy who sold me the Steelcat had to buy me lunch when they melted into doo doo.

HJS (I believe) - Billy Boat is the US dealer. You'll have to get it welded on a midpipe.

These have all been cats with metallic substrate cores? Because I've been told by some FD owners that metallic substrate cores work just don't get ceramic =/ Unless if the renesis gets hotter boosted than a 13b-rew does....

Daemos 01-25-2008 01:45 AM

Funny...I can't find a price on the HJS cat...but I found a website with horrible english that I managed to make out 100cpi racing cat but it didn't mention anything to do with emission compliance...

How would you compare the exhaust note to that of the RP Supercat / RB Rev8 to your current setup? I want to go quieter and have a lower sound bite. Lunch is on me if you make it to Aberdeen one day :rolleyes:

MazsportScott 01-25-2008 05:27 PM

Update!
 
We posted a driveby video on our website Mazsport.net. This unit had been on the vehicle for about 4 months during testing. Thanks for the interest, Scott

RedefineRX8 01-25-2008 05:54 PM

sounds fantastic, can't wait to have mine installed.

Nemesis8 01-29-2008 10:59 AM

I like to hear this midpipe coupled up to the single exhausts made by HKS and Racing Beat, but I'm sure nobody has this setup yet. What note do you think that will produce? I'm not worried about performance gains, I just want the most flow at the lowest exhaust note, and to do it as quiet as I can.

Vasichko 01-29-2008 10:09 PM

Wow $470 is what is listed on their site.

8 Maniac 01-29-2008 10:58 PM

if only they had a reasonably quiet high flow cat option... emissions legal + performance would be quite popular as well I think.

Best of luck getting anything but a non-stock cat that is legal for use on your car... or finding a cat that will survive the rotary.

a responsible illegality trumps an irresponsible illegality any day
