i don't expect anything from racing beat... The company is a lot of hype and others that speak so highly about them on this forum are a bunch of leg humpers....not saying that their products are bad but just a lot of hype...it seems that their motto for their products is "just a small step above stock" hahha

Not that their kit has anything to do with their other parts, but...
They research and test every performance part they make, which is a lot more than I can say for other more well-known "performance" part makers who make RX-8 parts that, while they make your car louder, do nothing for power (except maybe reduce it).
Since RB is specialized in rotaries, which is something you won't find with other well-known "performance" part makers that (happen to) make RX-8 parts, they have a leg up.
So, if knowing-what-you-are-talking-about is hype, then, yeah, they are all hype.
That said, I'm not fond of the kit, as I've said before.

I'm guessing you are new to Mazdas.
Racing Beat has been around for a long time and been making quality products ever since. I've been to their facility, I was very impressed with their setup. They do more testing and R&D work than I ever imagined. There's not another Mazda parts manufacture to their scale in this country (that I have ever seen or heard of).
Racing Beat is a quality company lives up to their hype. They are a well respected establishment in the Mazda world. Mazda even uses them for factory tuning. The Protege MP3 for example...

Hype is exactly the wrong word for Racing Beat. They're not the guys claiming 10hp from a catback for the RX-8. Just because some other companies do, I wouldn't be so sure that their exhaust makes more power than the Racing Beat.

Me , too. Racing beat has always in my opinion produced conservative front ends. You can see that in their fd and fc parts. Love the sides and rear. Just put with ms front or r magic.

RB is not trying to reinvent the wheel, just enhance what Mazda has already done. Never intended for everyone, but quality is definitely same as oem.
If you do not like, do not buy.

RB doesn't make B.S. claims about an exhaust adding 25 horsepower to the RX-8 like some companies might. How is being honest "a lot of hype" as you put it?
Although I don't care for their body kit, I respect their products and their integrity.
