Id say go for the RE-Amemiya Super dolphin along with the exhaust manifold




both sound awesome!

I think there are a few clips on youtube
heres one:

Uhhh... Amemiya may be the MOST respected rotary tuner on the entire planet... if you guys don't think he makes quality **** please do some research on just who he is and the specifics of the work he does. And yes both the exhaust manifold, sport catalyst, and catback exhaust fit the 6sp manual rx8s.

Cat. replacement midpipe is where you want to go first for sound and power. You'll get a lot more sound and a little more power. 5hp or so. And you can shoot flames. RB sells them.

Note: This is not emission legal as it removes your cat.

Holy crap...slow your roll. Nobody said it wasn't quality. It's just a matter of it doing any good.

I repeat what I said. Do some research, it's pricey stuff, but it does better than most of the brands do in terms of performance and quality.

I'll chill out when you have any idea what you are talking about

Update language pack to your computer then you can read everything from all over the place.

Not trying to be mean to you just fwiw. Just saying, there is no question that his exhaust products definitely work. You get your pulleys on yet?

yes, re-amemiya products are quality and reliable and such... but honestly, they arent getting much more (if any) than some other exhaust systems. The only category I think it might prove better in is weight, and I cant say that for sure.

I got headers, and a 3 inch titanium exhaust from Agency Power, it sounds insane, and the hp difference was noticible since day one. everything ran for about $1000

For max power and tons of low end torque, you can't beat this setup. It's cheap too!

In Chicago, the rotary group (EVOLV) (Check the midwest thread for meets), there are owners with a wide variety of exhausts - come to a meet and check them out - I've got a Borla, others include Racing Beat, Mazdaspeed, JIC, HKS, Corksport and more.
