I assume you mean the fog light ... it is from Mazda factory can get it at japanparts.com

If you mean the exhaust - it is Fujitsubo exhaust from Japan 90mm

Yes it will look nice - maybe look the same with exhaust finisher with big mouth muffler and yes small size muffler may look better with exhaust finisher - but my car is black and it is too much silver for me in a black car. I am not one of those people like Chrome wheel you see

It looks like it is to me.
IMO bigger tips look better than the stock. Especially with an aftermarket bumper.

yea it is the same size just the tips are rolled and is thicker than stock. To each his/her own I love the way the ms exhaust looks and honestly can't be happier with it,but borla and hks looks gorgeus too but just not my stlye.

regarding the FI questions you should do a search. And if you're purchasing an exhaust system for hp alone stick to the stock exhaust cause most of the aftermarket exhausts out there produces modest gains and are the least bang for your buck modifications.

5hp ?! wow that's a lot more than i thought it was... Thats news to me any references?

Oh it was in the BestMotoring Video - September last year. I recall that from it. I don't think I see that somewhere else. Maybe I saw it again in some offical MazdaSpeed catalog or part in the mag. I am pretty sure it is 5hp though. OR to be exact ~ it actually said approx 5 hp gain

For others ... you are testing my memory here. I only list the one that I am definity sure I have seen and remember:

Fujitsubo 7hp crank, 3Nm wheel
Fujita engineering 10hp
R Magic 13-14hp
MazdaSpeed 5hp
RE Amimeya ~10hp (I am not sure now :o)

I don't know if you can get an idea of the size, but these are the borla. They are much larger than stock.

This thread confuses me. Why would anyone want to see other people's pictures of their exhaust systems? It's pretty much going to be the same on every car. I would check out the manufacturer's webpage; they already did it for you . This thread needs to be moved to the photo gallery.

The way the MS spoiler looked on the RX-8 was one of the reasons why I bought the car. It would have been sacrilege to then buy the car without it
