my RP supercat isn't causing any check engine lights.

 

I've had mine know for 5500 miles and no CEL ! This thing has been great :D .

 

I reset the ECU on Saturday, no CEL since.

I really love the performance gain, but that sort of thing is so addictive. I need more!

 

Do you need to get the RP Mid Pipe Bolt & Gasket Kit along w/ the highflow cat? Or can we just reuse stock gaskets? thanx

 

I got the kit, and used the bolts (just 'cause), but we felt the stock copper gasket is better then the aluminum one they give you. Next time I would save the money. But I have an extra gasket now if I need one.

 

Does anyone have the RP supercat with an rx8 store exhaust? Just wondering because i have them both on order and just looking for opinions.

 

That's exactly what I will hopefully be buying soon. I'd like to hear any input if anyone has it as well.

 

after a ton of curse w0rds and a few broken bolts today... i'd say yes

 

Does everyone else's sound like crap when the car is cold... or do i have some sort of exhaust leak that goes away when everythings up to temp???

 

Describe crap please

What does yours sound like?

 

Mine is lacking the wind passing over your microphone

Being an old ear, I can tell yours sounds sweet like mine

 

Hey, I have the RX8 store exhaust and would really like to hear your opinion of the the setup with the supercat once you get it installed. Please do keep us posted.

 

Staticlag, what cat-back do you have?

 

well, when its cold the exhaust note seems to randomly change while getting on the gas from the normal engine sound to something that sounds like a lot of air and vibration... plus when its cold it seems to be twice as loud as when its warm

normal or not normal?

I don't smell anything when i start it up that would suggest exhaust not going through the cat or see any vapor on cold mornings coming from anywhere but th exhaust tips -shrug-

 

when i start up in the morning there is a lot of steamy smoke coming out... but we have nippy mornings.. haha it looks cool..

i have stock system though

 

That does not sound right to me. I listened to mine this morning in 45 degree temps. It idled without those sounds. It could be the gaskets - shrugs also

I think Nemesis has the exact same setup.

I did have sealing issues with mine, it used to sound raspy and constantly change like rotor says his is doing. The problem was that I sold my stock cat and accidently sent my fiber gasket to the guy. So i had to wait for him to mail it back to me in the meantime. During the week or so I was without it I tried using the Permatex Ultra Copper to seal it, but the exhaust was so hot and I didn't have the hanger welded on that it tore up the gasket. When I got the stock fiber gasket back I took it apart and the exhaust actually burned right though the Permatex gasket I tried to make.

Moral of story:

Use stock fiber gasket.
Get Hanger welded on. ... Without the hanger welded on it the thing bounces around like crazy and makes whatever gasket you are using unreliable.

 

Ditto - that is what I did. Stock fiber gasket and hanger. Sealed up nicely and is held in place firmly

 

the fiber gasket your talking about is the one between the midpipe and muffler correct? I guess I'll see if i can crank down on the bolts any more. Maybe I have to get a hanger welded on - doesn't seem like its hitting anything though.


i just noticed its also backfiring like a ****... crappy sound recording from my phone
(edit - it wasn't making the strange sounds then....)

 

Has anyone have dyno results of the rp midpipe with a greddy turbo?

 

Can anyone post a sound clip of this with RB exhaust?

 

previous page.

 

Also, here's a thread of my video clip with the supercat and borla, which sounds similiar to the RB.

 

Thanks. Didn't notice you had RB staticlag. Both sound a bit to loud.
