This same question has been answered probably twice this week alone. Try searching general discussion. ---------------TONS OF POSTS------------------- Good luck with your new ride and read the owners manual ASAP.

As mentioned above, there aren't any easy significant upgrades that can be made to the RX-8. Replacing the cat with a mid-pipe is the best bang for the buck option.

Bingo. It's just getting silly here now. Perhaps time to move on ....

Tuning using Cobb AP ($575), new intake (< $400), upgraded coils and wires ($200-500, depending on what you get), light weight pulleys ($225), light weight flywheel ($250-400), new exhaust system ($1000+).
Beyond that, you'd be talking about adding a turbo or supercharger, but that gets expensive quick. The other options include porting... but that's a whole other topic (and a lot more money). |
So what is your guess on that $3K+labor will give you in HP gains? Mostly in the high RPM range I would think.

This is ball breaking :crazy: |
I keep on starting to reply. Then I stop, because what I thought was witty is just lame.
So I will just avoid posting a response. I doubt he will be back anyway. |
