The high flow cat isn't too bad but it is a lot easier on a lift. It has one rubber hanger where the exhaust has four of them. Much easier to do than a catback.
The Revi makes the car idle very smooth. I have helped install this and I have the Ram air fitted to the stock box. I would like to get the Revi though. Just look at it as a possible waste since I am planning on Supercharging.

Awesome, I'm definitely going to have to look at the short shifter then. But that still leaves room for the intake or flywheel or exhaust. I would want to get the flywheel in before I go dragging, so it's still in my mind. 
I might just have to go for the REVi.

if true that would be in violation of MNAO policy, sounds like more of a BS scare tactic to me

... i did a rough calc a year or two ago and despite the MS being heavier then RB's, the MS has alot of mass removed from the outer part of the flywheel because of the holes - so much that I believe it came out almost identical in inertia to RB's

Can anyone tell me who makes the Mazdaspeed Flywheel for the 8??? I am looking into the one that is coming out for the 6S and I wanted some company background... I know Mazdaspeed always sublets their engineering...
Thanks...
Thanks...
