Having bought a few things from them there are always finish flaws with their stuff. If they could fix that it would be nice.

So this is not an opinion forumulated by one individuals account, it is that individual and other company's accounts that lead me to my belief.

Not that this matters, but other side of the US? I, and this guy, are in WA state and RB is in cali :P
And yet we only have your word...

At Sevenstock this year I shared my header design ideas with RB for the Renesis. It utilizes 2 seperate collectors instead of 1 with the center runner being longer than the outer 2. I first posted this idea here at least 2 years ago. They said that was a combination they had never tried and they tried alot of them. They were interested in it. I saw some of their experiments in header design and learned how they tested numerous others I didn't see and talked about what combinations they tried. I fully expect them to try my idea and if by some strange reason it works, I fully would expect them to build it and sell it. I have no legal claims to it so I stand to gain nothing if they did make it work other than personal satisfaction. I wouldn't say or claim they stole my idea and they aren't bound to give me any kickbacks from it if they do build it. If I didn't want an idea of mine potentially used by others, I wouldn't have told anyone about it. The idea doesn't include the exact parameters to build it. Just an idea to try many combinations on. I'll let someone else do the research into if it works or not and in what configuration it works best in, if at all.

semi-objective is about as good as purely subjective

Better than berating the product that you have never had. At least I have something to compare it to. I doubt a tenth of the people have actually seen more than 1 or 2 of these exhausts, let alone have had them on their cars.

you don't have to own an RB exhaust for an RX-8 to know that it weighs more than OE

Sure, and that is why I swapped it out, but that doesn't mean it's quality is poor or it's a bad product like some have stated. If I was looking for a great sound and bigger chrome tips I would highly consider this exhaust. Not everybody autocrosses their car, so weight is not as much of a concern. Everybody has a different criteria, but apprently some posters on this board refuse to accept that, and only think the products on their car must be the greatest.
