RX-8 Store Exhaust
 
I'm about to buy one of these to go along with my RX-8 Store midpipe. Does anyone have the catback? Pros/Cons?

I had the rx8 store catback for 2 years with the stock cat. I installed it myself (fine except those darn spring loaded nuts) without much trouble.

The exhaust is quite a bit louder than stock and does have a bit of a drone at certain cruising speeds which eventually became annoying. I do recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight exhaust with a deeper note as long as you don't the added noise for daily driving. The tips look great too (clean them often). I did recently take mine off and will probably be putting on a RB catback.

I imagine adding that midpipe will make it very loud, so be prepared. It should give a little performance boost though.

Jason at rx8 store took care of me when I ordered so no complaints there. Hope that helps. :icon_tup:

thanks a lot man, big help.

luckily, this thing isn't daily driven, and will only be used for weekend flame-shootin'. the previous owner debadged it, so the fact that it shoots flames out the back will only add to the "what the fuck is that thing" factor the car already has.

i don't mind the noise or a CEL. if the noise gets too bad, i'll just weld in another resonator. no biggie.

it is a full 3", correct?

hmmm I'm not positive on this. You might ask rx8 store. The pipe is definitely big.

Big Money Pit 08-28-2008 11:33 AM

well, their website says 3", so i guess i'll just trust them.
