I heard there is no such thing as a GS model RX8, and 15 whp is a ridiculous claim for a header alone to provide.

wow thats lame..

regardless of what they call it... there is no header alone that will give you 15 whp by itself. Period.

It sure is pretty but I doubt it adds much power...

And yes we have a GS model.

almost all company do those hp claim anyway. like sr motorsports claim 12hp from their pulley kit.....no difference.

we just need someone to try it and do a dyno b4 and after, but then who are willing to spend the money and try???

I'll bet the cost of the header at best it produces half or less of the claimed horsepower on a completely stock car. Anyone want to take that bet?

tube headers are useless on the Rensis, a big log manifold gets it done and for less $$$

At least it would be lighter than the OEM exhaust header.

Where can this be found? Is it the low power (4 port) engine?
