no, the rx8 unlike the rx7 has a unique 3 piston layout, each of which is a flame suppressant. Fortunately the use of a dual cat setup will encourage flames.

I know if you try HOPUPRACING.COM they offer free shipping on all their exhaust and even on a mid-pipe. And the prices they have are also not bad, also since i live in miami their is a web-page that has the HKS single for $390 but you have 2 pay for shipping its dynamicturbo.com, just in case any one is interested.

If you want a V6 sound, then sorry.

If you don't want rice, then I know just the one you need then.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Greddy SP2

Invision Performance had it in stock. Just installed mine last thursday. No place to install the grounding strap from the OEM exhaust. So I just took out the strap. Hope this does not cause any issues.

I cant't believe they leave out a bolt for mount the grounding strap.

I have a stainless steel bolt TIG welded to mine for that purpose.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Borla installation report!

Here's my take on the Borla I just put in. Was $670 shipped from performancecenter.com

I have a STOCK cat and intake. I have the canzoomer but I can't imagine that affect exhaust sound at all.

It really does sound amazing, and is particularly 'glorious' in tunnels and parking garages.

Build quality: really, top notch. Nice welding and nicely packaged too.
Sound: perfectly deep and rumble-y, especially low in the RPM's.
Volume: It's actually somewhat quieter than I imagined. Above 5-6K RPM in anything above second, it's heavily washed out by wind noise when the windows are down (this is from inside the car, I haven't listened to it with someone else driving yet.)

For reference (in arbitrary volume levels) I would say that:
0 = stock everything
7 = just the borla
10 = my friend's greddy sp2 with greddy intake.
15 = greddy sp2 with catless midpipe


All in all, it's perfect for someone like me who drives it to work every day (at a hospital, nonetheless, with lots of old and sick people haha). If this is your special event weekend-type car and you want every moment to be loud and rowdy, then maybe I'd recommend something (else) that is louder. Or get the borla with a midpipe, and you'll have the best of both! I will say I've heard at least 3 other rx-8 exhausts in person (with stock cat) and this one has the best-sounding note, it really is perfect.
