You're right, even though the PGT offers more torque, NO MATCH!
Don't forget to remove the dealer sticker!

Because Stephen is my real life hero and I must do everything he does just like him Single White Female style, I have complemented my aging Ford Probe with a Mazda RX-8. Sadly, I did not get the doors or the Darin Pemberton power adder.
I started reading these forums probably 2 years ago, but didn't join until I had a reason to post. Heck, I've been reading the 3si forums for years. Still waiting to have a reason to post there.

me? pics? I don't have a camera. My brother does. Maybe I should use it.
So far, I have bought a cell phone and sun glasses to match the car. Everything I buy has to be black now. It's a sick compulsion.
As for car parts, I emptied my checking account to lower the car loan and generally don't touch my savings account. I'm going to a wedding this weekend so I think it would be prudent to reserve most of this paycheck for that. I have to devise a plan so that anything I buy in the early stages is not rendered moot by something I buy next year. I was thinking about the supercat, but I'll hold off till I'm willing to drive the car hard. I'm still on my first tank of gas. We should make plans for a 2 man mini-meet so that we can mock Nancy for still driving a piston-powered vehicle.

I ordered it Saturday. I have not driven it yet, but I let it idle and revved it some. It's a bit louder, but not really too noticeable. If you had never heard a stock RX-8 idle you would think the sound with the supercat was normal, if that makes sense. I revved it when the system was cold and there was a hint of rasp, once it warmed up it was deep and smooth.
As far as the install, it was cake. It really does have OEM fit to it. It's amazing how well it fits, I have never installed something aftermarket on a car before that fit this perfectly.
