Make sure you have oil, though you can easily pick it up anywhere. Fantastic car for long distance trips.

that's amazing! (just read through that thread)

You definitely have proven that the RX-8 is a great car for long distance trips, LOL

Start with CAI. If, after that, you still want your car to be louder then, go with a mid-pipe.

Video examples of the volume of various exhaust modifications are useless in my opinion. If you remain uncertain of which options to consider, I recommend going to a local/regional club meet. There, you will get to meet other people who have already done exhaust modifications so that you can hear a variety of set-ups from mild to wild.

haha your not helping!!!! that video is great i love the way the exhaust sounded and it wasnt too loud so now i dont know what to do lol but i guess ill hold off on the exhaust mod. and thats why i would keep the stock muffler on so that if i do get pulled over i can say its stock haha
