Thank you. As soon as I get some extra funds, I should be picking up one of these. What intake do you have?

Now you guys just need to come out with a beautiful exhaust to match this sexy note and we'll be good. :D
Thanks for the great review Zelse. It's been an ongoing battle to make it come out this good. But I see that your as happy as we are.


And stay tuned for a Catback.
Yes I said it.

sounds like this could be a great option for those with Racing Beat's exhaust; given that it's one of the 'quietest' (and most popular) exhausts out there.

Those are international customers worried about their shipping quote

^ Charles I've read back 10 pages of this thread. I can not find the price of your new mid pipe. Is it PM only to get price?

I believe it is $425 unpolished and $575 polished but the BHR guys will correct me if I am wrong.

Glad to hear the pipe is well received! I definitely plan on getting one once I settle my exhaust... debating the MazdaSpeed dual-canister vs waiting for BHR to make one. I'll probably wait

This is the definition of QUALITY.

Though because it brings out the crappy ricey buzzing in the HKS hi power exhaust

Can you explain the sound part a little better? As far as your opinion of the ricey buzzy sound? this way maybe I wont lose as much sleep. I'm even down for shitty cellphone video if you have free SMS or a phone call. The one thing I wanted to avoid is the car sounding like garbage. All the video's (youtube) I've seen of supposedly midpiped (not as good as BHR, they all had other brands) rx8s with the hks cat back didn't sound too bad. I know those video cant be trusted. If it is unbearable, I will follow your example. I'll source something until the finalized production of the BHR Cat back.

But absolutely fantastic review!

We are also examining the possibility of offering both a Hi-Power-type single exit as well as the more popular dual tips.
why? is there a reason for one versus the other?

To be honest right now, I just switched to stock catback and the car is so quiet it's amazing. I didn't lose much performance at all and it's great. Scotty, can you PM me a bit more specific what it is you want to know and/or AIM me? We can talk about the cat back buzz there. Thanks.

So i hear the UPS truck come to a stop.. and ran out to the sidewalk to meet him.

They weren't lying when they said it was filled with packing peanuts. I'm pretty sure this could be dropped from a third or fourth story window without getting a single ding in it.
Let me also add OMFG these welds are the sex. Whomever you having doing them please send them a bottle of whatever they drink and bill me.

Took a few shots of unpacking and will get some more tomorrow morning when it's installed.

that should sound really sexy.
remind me to compare your sound against Ceasar's (FastRX8) at SevenStock.
he's got RP highflow + MS exhaust. I'm curious to see the difference.
