Got my rx8 the Catalytic Converter Straight pipe and the Rev8 Catback exhaust both from racing beat... Hopefully going to be installed with in the next couple days.. will keep this thread posted on how things go

Update on thread... I installed everything today and it went Great!!! i am very pleased with racing beat... I am wondering though no check engine light came on i do have the straight pipe on.. Anybody?

Says its a private photobucket account for me. Why not just paste the links to specific pictures here with IMG tags.

The check engine light could take many many miles to come on, or it might never come on. I would give it 300+ miles to come on from what I have read on here.

How do you like the sound of the exhaust? Is it pretty much the same as stock?

It will most likely come on after some mileage. don't be suprised if it does. Would be interesting to hear how different your car sounds than mine since I have the RB catback but not the midpipe.
You have a way to constantly read the code so you will know if any other code pops up?

I dont understand lol?

I am very impressed with Cat delete, and catback exhaust from racing beat, fit perfectly, alot deeper tone now and really screams on full throttle and quiets down in lower rpms...

plus you can really smell the fumes burning, kind of like a ATV

What I meant was......................when/if your CEL(Check Engine light) comes on because of the CAT delete. You won't know if anything else in the future causes a CEL or not. If you had a code reader you could at least check it for other codes, or you could always buy the Cobb AP which can mask that CEL(for the o2 sensor).
Check around thoroughly before deciding on getting an AP though as it's sort of dis-continued but back from the dead. The AP is also very good for a specialized tune for the car, but can take a long time to get this tune and directions need to be followed exactly. If interested, then research on this site.

I didnt think they had a tune for the S2

Oh......I forgot you had an S2........maybe not. My bad!
I'd have to go research!


As I saw your other thread you made................"Aftermarket Wheels thread" is a good place to look for wheels. Use Advanced Search and look for it. Has tons and tons of wheels in it with pics.

Yahh if they had one it would have been the first thing i would have gotten

looks, nice, get a video we want o here how it sounds

Ok ill upload a video, but it sounds alot better in person :)

Oh and quick question how do you check for exhaust leak, i dont think i have one its just nice to check when installing a new exhaust...

i assume i dont because flames came out of exhaust

Any CEL indicator? If not I'm totally buying one!

A video would be awesome! Just please don't use your cell phone.

CEL did come on.. just got my camera working today videos will be up with in the next few days.

(It took about 450 mile before the CEL came on)

Do you know where to buy this cel indicator?
