This exhaust looks like a piece of art! KS is a great company, with very dedicated and helpful staff.

thats what i was thinking too. although i havent looked, i actually recall that mod just being photochopped by someone. looks overdone imo though. i do like everything else on the car.

^-----i dono if its photoshopped just because there are multiple pictures that look the same, but yeah i also think its overdone.

A good concept but it needs to be revised to look a bit better, and to not stick out so much.

No, clips yet. But, as soon as I find one I will make sure to post it.

You made a good point Jordan, and I double checked again, and it is just the tips! The tips can also be used on the FD! But, Knight Sports do have a new exhaust system coming out! Here is a teaser picture.. (Especially for Anthony, which would go great with his Knight Sport kit and blue paint)

is there a sound difference in exhausts when the exhaust seems hollow to when it is just a 1 pipe.

hollow = like the stock rx8, where the tip is thicker than just sheet metal
HKS hi power= tip is as thick as sheet metal.

but yeah is there a sound difference or is it just for looks?

I personally like the spoiler, it's not like some random universal spoiler what was slapped on there. It was designed especially for the RX-8 to make it look even better with the kit. The hood just looks gorgeous from the side, I say get both.. The hood and the spoiler!

You can purchase them from Graham from Japanparts.com or directly from the Knight Sports site.

i really like the look of that spoiler but its semi HUGE! lol since it has a part that would be painted the same color as the car, it wouldn't look as rice as it does compared to the universal ones

One thing you need to get buy to give it the extra touch to go with your kit and your paint is the blue Knight Sports oil cap! I'm gonna end up making you buy all the Knight Sports stuff! LOL
