its probably because header/midpipe are the only things that gain some HP haha

Thats why the AP thread also has a ton of views ;)

Hmmmmm. See below \/

That's not what I meant; I really DID audition for Disturbed a few years ago. Drove to Chicago in my RX-8 with my 6-string bass and hammered it out. Obviously, I didn't get the job but I had a lot of fun, met the band, met some other really cool people. In hindsight I am glad they didn't hire me because I would not have custody of my two kids and I certainly wouldn't be serving the needs of my beloved RX8Club friends.;)

I'll be sure to bring over a pair of poopy pants for ya. So you can wear them on your shiny head. Better than Coppertone Sunblock.

Hey! What Hooters are we going to tonight?

I am not sure if I can speak for Easy on this (and he would never admit to it, anyway) but he and I are starting to trust one another on these installs and we only had 1-2 errors that were easily remedied on the spot. The car runs pretty good, aside from some minor tuning gaps, but MM will handle that. I am pretty sure pix will soon be posted, too.

STFU! Trust!? STFU!

Easy has deep rooted issues with "trust" and "commitment"

It's okay Eric, you're in a "safe zone" here and amongst friends. :)

With almost 180 BHR Ignition Systems in the field and nearly universal acclaim from those who are using them I woulda thought THAT product (whether BHR's or Esmeril's) would have been more popular. :dunno:

Either way, the midpipe development forges ahead and we are very confident everyone will like what they see/hear.

Could you expand on this? What do you mean by "tuning latitude". More power to be had with the Cobb AP?

There are various limitations that exist with the stock cat which are no longer issues with a catless midpipe. The most obvious is not needing to be concerned with your EGT's as high exhaust gas temperatures will cook the cat at somepoint.

The other aspect is there's no risk of unburnt fuel clogging the cat or having to worry about excess pre-mixing or oil injection doing the same. Most of the stuff which makes the rotary perform better or last longer is hazardous to the environmental parts of the car.

But yes, these benefits would only be truely realized with the COBB accessPORT which can tune to take advantage of your modifications.

That aspect is one of the most common misunderstandings with modified cars. Simply adding intakes or exhaust might yield some gains but until the car is tuned for those modifications you're not using them to their full benefit.

This is why BHR stands behind the accessPORT being one, if the the best bang for your buck with the RX8.

If people are willing to spend $350 for an intake or $700 for a cat back exhaust that does nothing except make more noise, the AP is a bargin!
