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

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 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?

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

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....

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

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.

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.
