DSL or Cablemodem. It's pretty graphics intensive, so without the bandwidth on your end, it's gonna be slow.

Yeah im on a T1 line here at work. Sometimes the graphics load right away sometimes they wont load at all. Not even the nav bars at the top of the page will load. Whacky forums, this is the only forums that is like this.

But back on topic! NICE SYSTEM!! Can't wait to hear a sound clip!

The problem you're describing is related to using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.X as your browser. I have the same problem. What works when the graphics stop loading (for me, anyway) is to open a brand new browser window and start again.

Vivid-

Maybe you can answer this for me. Why does the exhaust tubing bend around backwards as it leaves the muffler to the tip? It seems like it would add unnecessary length and restriction for the exhaust.

B&B Exaust sound clip

You've asked for it, so here it is. We put the exhaust on friday night and took it out to the track on saturday. We'll have some footage of the event soon. Enjoy the clip.

that is a sweet sounding exhaust, and it definately does performs. one question, why does does Dan Mermelstein claim the 19 hp, when the dyno sheet shows only 12 hp for the cat-back, and 5 for the down pipe. $699 is a very reasonable price either way, although im not too sure how much hp the borla is putting out.

3.2? They were claiming something like 11 previously I thought, with a dyno to back it up.

Dan was using the numbers given as peak H/P from B&B. 12 is the average after a few pulls on the dyno.

Sounds good, but I love that bodykit. I think that is the nicest kit I have seen for the Rx-8.

Probably, but you need to be a bit more specific about whats wrong.

While owning a RX-8 is a sign of great intelligence, telepathy wasnt an option in any of the packages :D

Are you sure? My RX-8 talks to me regularly, as I keep hearing "drive me.....drive me....push me harder" in my head when I'm next to it.
