Now ... if you are thinking about mods that best suit the MM tuning process .... again I would say this is your best mod.
The catalytic is a major restriction in any exhaust system that has one ... removing it helps period. (Not to mention the RX8 catalytic tends to fail and you might as well save it for just passing the emissions tests

I'm also going to mention that it weighs a ******* tonne ... really .... gotta be 30lbs anyways .... someone may know the weight.
So all that being said ... I'm not sure where you got the information or idea that removing the catalytic on an "Automatic" is a minor power loss.
I would like to see that thread if you have a link. Maybe I'm completely wrong on this <shrug>

I can weigh the stock cat tonight... it's chilling in the corner of my garage along with all my other stock components that have been removed over the years..... but It might already be in the stock part weights thread

Removing the catalytic and putting in a straight cat-delete midpipe is the easiest mod and likely the best gains for ease and cost imo.

No mistake on that logic about the cat... Have read your other posts on this before... And i agree with you..
Anyways,
Tried to find the link but cant seem to find it...
if not mistaken, this is the one...

I was just recently on a totally staright pipe, single sided custom exhaust... The car was damn loud !!!
More like an F1 car roaring through the streets!
Anyways, when i was on it... felt like the car was barely climbing through the rpms... Felt like the air was flowing through too freely...
Changed back to my Knight sports High Flow Cat and it was better...
Based on butt dyno nonetheless...
*just my 2 cents from a daily driver*

Ok, first of all I am completely new to tuning. ^.^;; Secondly, I can't seem to find the information I am looking for about the Cobb.
I read in one of the posts that there is an expected gain of 10-20HP. What about fuel economy? My 8 is completely stock right now and I am looking to see if this will improve both engine performance and fuel economy. If it does improve fuel economy, how much does it do it by? I'm trying to justify if $600 is worth it, basically.
Thanks!

MM;
Got a question for ya. So I have been working on a new device for the S2 folks, you can check out my progress here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-ii-interior-audio-electronics-167/rxduino-development-chat-218257/
My question is, do you know exactly how the AP is masking PIDs? With my device I have both read and write access to the MS and HS CANBUS. Maybe we can collaborate a bit? Us S2 guys would love to get even a simple PID masking going.

Actually, you can ask MM to decrease your fuel consumption as part of your tune (which he does, anyways). Don't expect a huge amount of savings. Maybe 1-3mpg?

Have had the MazdaManiac custom tune but only part way through it. Was wondering if there is a time limit for getting my calibrations sent to MazdaManiac. I have only recieved my second map but havent gotten around to doing the drive logs for it. I am sitting close to a year.

You were sent 8 e-mails over a period of three months in March, April and May explaining the new submission process.

I asked this on another thread and got a bit of a response (thanks to those) but I recently suffered loss of compression so my 8 is currently being rebuilt but im also having porting done and was wondering how this affects my calibration ive on done 2 logs so far but will I have to start from base again or can I use my last calibration to record my next logs I only ask cos im closing in on my 6 months now and im gonna have to run the new engine in first.
I would ask this on the new google talk scheme but I keep missing the dates .
