BHR Ignition system or BHR midpipe ?
Okay so last time I took my car to the dealer they said my catalytic could be clog or internally damage. Also I've been having trouble starting the car while it's hot. I have been trying to save money to by BHR ignition system and BHR midpipe with cat. I don't have the money to buy both now, so I was wondering which to get first ? If the order matter ? Thanks in advance!

With hot start issues IMHO you should get a compression test before sinking any more money into it.
Then, if cat is bad, fix that first.

When you say having trouble starting hot...do you mean it takes a little longer to start when hot? Like an extra second or so of spinning the starter vs cold....or is it a bigger problem?

Nycgps: I'm assuming I could get the coils cheaper at the dealer ? Also we do have emission test here in Chicago that's why I was think on getting the midpipe with the cat.
Bigcajun: since I bought the car, less than a year ago, it has had problem with hot starts. I did take to the dealer and it passed the compression test with flying colors.
Moliver: is a bigger problem. Like I have to wait until the car cools down a bit so that it could start.

You can get a set of OEM coils from Advance Auto Parts using coupon codes (they are floating around online). I used one recently for 40 off $100+ and got a set of oem coils for about 80 bucks. And like he said, lifetime warranty, so you could just pop back in every year and get a new set lol.

Paimon: I will take a looked around online. That makes a lot of sense. Yes idk why I used dealer and cheap in the same sentence lol.
nycgps: yes I'm serious. I'm a noob when it comes to all this. This is my first car. The reason I'm trying to buy the midpipe with a cat is because of emission test here in Chicago. I don't have the money to buy a new cat at a dealer. I searched around and like the sound of the BHR midpipe. So I say why not get the midpipe with the cat and is way cheaper plus would sound a lot better. Seems like you know a lot more about me, what do you think ? Oh yea, my start was really bad and bought a new one and installed it already, so is not that but it helped.

You might have better luck trying a search first.
Try rx8 club checking fuel pump pressure.

the oem pump pressure should be ~60psi. use a gauge to check the pressure on the fuel line by the drv side fender(im assuming you dont have aftermarket gauges). be careful with the clip on the line. search about those so you dont start a fire

Sorry, could not resist that. OK, more useful answers above, if you still want to know how to check the fuel pump pressure, I suggest you find a trustworthy mechanic and ask them to do it 
Be careful with the fuel since you don't want to start a fire!
Also, be aware that if you get a mid-pipe, you will smell fuel while sitting at lights and be illegal.
