2005 Nordic Green RX8
Greetings, fellow rotary owners! I decided to jump in on the bandwagon and take some pics of my RX8. It's an 05 manual that I got back in December of 2007. Coming from an IS300 (which unfortunately was lost in the canyons), the 8 is definitely a refreshing experience!
I don't have any pics of it under the hood but it's got a K&N Typhoon intake system and an Agency Power Exhaust. The exhaust really amplifies the awesome sound that rotaries produce.
Anyway, here are the pics.

Haha, you can thank the shiny wheels for seeing those! I tried driving with those on one time, wasn't as easy as with a nice pair of driving shoes, or even regular shoes.

Nice ride! I'm thinking about getting that exhaust, but I'm concerned about the fitment and melting shroud problem. Have you had any trouble with yours melting? Also, is it too loud? I'm trying to decide between this exhaust and Racing Beat and I don't want it super loud, thanks for any input

i've got the same intake and exhaust setup. are you using the midpipe? its really loud.
Regarding the melting, I've noticed the plastic immediately above the tips is a tiny bit warped but it's barely noticeable. To contrast my buddy who had an FD with stock exhaust had problems with his plastic melting.
I wish I could record with any level of decent fidelity how it sounds. I was inclined to put the stock exhaust back on when I first got it but I've come to love the way she sounds. If you don't want loud, I'm sure there are other setups you can go with.
