nice keep updating... good one - it will be one of my definite mod
|
bob and xdeed - From what I understand the B&B exhaust which claims the 19hp your speaking of, is WITH the midpipe AND exhaust NOT just with the exhaust only.
Just a FYI for the sticky. With the info above I have narrowed down to the B&B or Borla. Thanks again for collecting all the data. |

Hi guys,
I know you are proliferated with options of what is available in the USA. We have produced the first "Hymee Exhaust - Stage 1" Catback :) Please see the following thread for some more pics and reviews including sound opinions: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=16734 Cheers, Hymee. PS - $850 Australian is about 630USD. |

Guys imagine the cool factor of having a hymee Australian exhaust on your cars at halve the price and in some circumstances better workmanship./ better materials , steels aint steels . Nichael |
Bob, Outstanding thread, keep up the great work!

Here's some nice pics of most of the exhausts side by side. See this thread https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=17242 for more info.

Hey guys I was wondering what happens to your warrnty after you put on an aftermarket exhaust and intake system. Besides just taking it off and putting it back on. Does an aftermarket exhaust only void your exhaust warrnty? Any answers will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Failure to Elucidate
Definition The definition is harder to understand than the term being defined. Examples (i) Someone is lascivious if and only if he is wanton. (The term being defined is "lascivious". But the meaning of the term "wanton" is just as obscure as the term "lascivious". So this definition fails to elucidate.) (ii) An object is beautiful if and only if it is aesthetically successful. (The term "aesthetically successful" is harder to understand than the term "beautiful". Proof Identify the term being defined. Identify the conditions in the definition. Show that the conditions are no more clearly defined than the term being defined. References |
