I'm selling one if you're interested. It does have a noticable sound difference, but it's not too loud. No CEL either.

ill think about it. i kinda wanna get it new. yea i heard about the increase in sound. i hear it sounds amazing with a greddy sp2 exhaust, and thats what i have, plus rx7.com is only 30 minuets from me, which is also why i am interested lol. How was the increase in performance? was it noticible or no. and why r u selling it?

Slight increase in power. Not a whole lot, though. But you're not going to get much increase in performance without going FI for the RX8. I've been offloading some stuff to help pay for a S/C.

You better be very careful. It will raise the sound on an aftermarket cat back exhaust quite a bit. The Greddy is already a loud exhaust to begin with, and with the RP unit it will be quite a bit louder (with a stright pipe it is almost unbearable). When I had it with my Racing Beat it sounded pretty good. But when I swapped out to my JIC it was a bit too loud for me, and with the Greddy it would be even moreso.

Your in Texas. Just stop by RP and hear one for yourself or contact some members in your area. I agree the Gredy Cat is pretty loud and with the RP unit it is even loud enough to get tickets.
