Not everyone is show before go here, singles don't look that bad, in realty the due exhaust is for our car just adds weight with no performance gain.

i don't think it looks half bad actually. Weighs about the same as the rb single exit race exhaust. On the other hand 23lbs is still pretty heavy for a single exit exhaust. If they made the whole thing titanium that would be badass but also expensive. Not sure if this was mentioned in the previous post but what's the piping diameters?

The pipe diameter is 75mm.

I then put the stock back on and while I can floor it without being chased by police, I am suffering!!! The heat this thing produces back and forth in my motor is killing my 8 and me. I can't drive it anymore. I am in a loophole now. I don't know what to do but I miss my single one...

you want ugly?
Bring you're dual tip RX-8 out to the autox and run against my single pipe STU Class RX-8,
there's nothing uglier than getting the holy crap kicked out of you ...
