Yeah that was just when he did it, I believe he sold them and that person had them PC'ed but that was a while ago so I may be wrong.

I'm thinking about picking up a cheap MS rear diffuser and fiberglassing the right opening closed.

I really love the FD look with the single exhaust and would love to see something like this

That would be sweet.

imput1234 09-30-2009 10:25 AM

^most of those "meshes" and shit to cover up the exhaust holes look like shit. I think it would be dope if someone made a rear like Vertex with single outlet, or some sort of diffusor like the MS with single outlet, that flows well.

Chris 09-30-2009 10:38 AM

the problem there is that the mesh does not match anything else on the car. For someone like myself I would have to stay close to an oem look. I try to keep my car as clean looking as possible. The shroud would have to somehow keep the flow of the car.

Chris 09-30-2009 10:40 AM

an ms rear with a single outlet wouldnt look too terrible.

RyansRx8 09-30-2009 11:55 AM

^^^ I like the rx7 pic it flows really good theres no plastic piece at the bottom that's exactly what I'm looking for, I think something like that for our car will look great

Enjoy

Yeah, that's bada$$

Edit on second thought I would like it better if the tip came out more to the left but that's the idea I would like to have

IMO, HKS single doesn't look bad as is on the stock rx8 rear, and certainly not bad at all with the MS rear. If your so concerned about looks of a single then maybe just buy a nice dual? For me the thing about the HKS is that its cheap and light, and making a custom bumper to fill in the rear shroud for the other side seem to defeat the cheat part of the equation.

nikkdizzle 09-30-2009 07:26 PM

i get what you're saying, but what if people buy the hks because they like the sound of it..

we're just seeing if we can get someone to perhaps make a rear that fits only the hks...theres a few interested, but i dont know how many people would actually buy it...

NgoRX8 09-30-2009 07:55 PM

I love the sound of the hks hi power. I can't imagine it with my rear, but eventually I plan to get it just cuz. haha

a track set up?

yeaah i think by far the hks hi power is the best sounding...but its defintely not for everyone.

i have a custom exhaust from an old member on here SouthFL and its single sided.

wb rx-8 09-30-2009 09:37 PM

im agreeing single side FTW!! i was thinking about doing something with my rear cuz i got the rmagic but i just dont know what to do yet.

RyansRx8 09-30-2009 10:41 PM

I do remember seeing that JIC rx8 and it was badass something like that would be cool

chickenwafer 10-01-2009 04:37 PM

That looks AWESOME!!!

I'm seriously going to have to try that...cut away the fake mesh portion of the rear bumper and the shrouds but keep the side aero pieces....damn that looks good.

Then I could redo the exhaust because the big can of the HKS Hi-Power would look weird exposed...

pdxhak 10-01-2009 04:57 PM

It looks a bit unfinished but promising. I think with a little molding someone could finish up the appearance. Maybe even add a diffuser...

chickenwafer 10-01-2009 05:02 PM

Yeah I agree...but it does look VERY good especially considering how easy it would be to do. Custom exhaust would be the bigger challenge. And it looks like there is no more exhaust heat shield.

hahahh funny you should mention,,,

blamerobb 10-01-2009 05:09 PM

it does look pretty good. it would look really nice with my exhaust.
hmm someone should pitch a diffuser to hks, since its concerning there exhaust...

I have been thinking for the last few months someone needs to make a rear bumper like this. You see lots of other cars with rears like this which provides the owners more exhaust choices. It is one of the reasons why I really like the INGS shrouds.
