You can't have your vehicle registered in another state if you live in AZ. Arizona sucks. You can have out of state plates or registration or you get a freaking ticket. Even if you just moved here- I got one. Even if you're a student! AZ is ridicoulis. I have too many horror stories of the terrible laws here.
But anyways, if you have your vehicle registered out of state, how do you get your state plates and tags for it? You can't, or can you? I don't see how you could goto the DMV and get California plates with a Nebraska registration. Too much hassel.

I am looking for sound and or video clips of the RP Super Cat with the Hymee, Rx8Store, GReddy SP2, Mazdspeed, and stock exhaust. And what others think the best combo is minus stock exhaust.

What to do with Stock system?

For me to get an aftermarket exhaust, I would have to drive a good 2 hours at least to buy it and have them in stall it. If I want to keep my stock system in case I need it, could I fit it in my car to take home?

Just installed the RX8store catback today. I wasn't very pleased with the packaging as there were a couple of holes in the box and tips were slightly scratched intransit. I would've installed it myself, but it was missing the hardware(bolts & gasket) and too be honest, I was just being lazy. Turned out to be a good decision as my muffler shop wasn't able to utilize the stock exhaust springs. He ended up modifying a set that he had to work with the new center pipe exhaust flange.

The stock exhaust will fit in the back seat as long you have them remove/cut the center pipe. I'm not sure if I'd want to drive two hours with it back there though as it shifted around alot in my short drive home.

I too am looking at getting either the RX8STORE catback or the GREDDY. You are pleased with the tone of the exhaust? Any sound clip?

I've only had it on for about a day now, but it has a nice solid deep/low tone without being raspy. I'm sure it will mellow out as time goes on, but right now the only time I don't hear it is when it's parked.

No sound clips yet, maybe this weekend.

jzrx8, the supercat with the stock is really nice, it's alot louder when on the gas but when just driving around its hardly noticable, also u can really feel it pull in higher rpms from 7k on. install should be easy it only took me and a friend 45mins

I am not worried about the install at all, I will just put it up on my lift at work and use my air tools so it should take even less time.

In a matter of a few days. my MS exhaust tips are turning goldish. I remember reading, but can't remember...What are people using to remove this discoloration from exhaust tips? I tried my Never Dull, but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

For some sick reason I am intrigued by the RE AMEMIYA Super Dolphin also. I doubt it is one I would buy. I just like the way it looks under the car. I think it would be very heavy and worry that it would sound rice.

I was trying to shrink the picks down to post them but I could not get the size right.

Re-Amemiya Exhuast

Good job in getting all the info together mate.

Here is a few more addition/choices for exhaust:
Re-Amemiya Titanium:
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/commodit...49303&scd=8908
Stainless Steel:
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/commodit...49303&scd=9300
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/commodit...49303&scd=8504

I have Greddy/Trust Titanium Exhuast on mine, it looks and sounds great too.

Well maybe me being military would help the fact. I have my car registered in Oregon or Washington. I use my current mailing address here for the plae for them to send the plates and decals. I always have a friend in another state where I know that there are less strict laws. Like window tinting for example. When ever I go on vacation, if there is something like registering or something like that to where I need to get the vehicle smogged. I just get it done while on vacation. Its time consuming but its worth it in the end.
