Get the exhaust. Stock is a is a bulky bitch w/ dinky lil tips.

Save ur $ on the intake and use it for Short Shifter.

 

how about this:

FORGET ABOUT A NEW EXHAUST OR INTAKE!!!!

instead save your pennies and buy a sick *** NAWZ system. if you REALLY save up or if your just loaded, you can even shell out cash for a new ECU system because your stock ECU can only handle about a 50 shot.

personally i would aim for the 150 shot of NAWZ

 

with a vin diesel sig, im not sure if you're joking or not.

 

^^^LOL i dont think he's joking. With a sig like that im not surprised at his post

 

mike06 starts out with a hugeass misconception on nitrous, and ends in failure

 

CAI...done first and love the sound...good for the engine to...

 

^ as long as its not the HKS intake, anything is good for the engine

 

What's with the HKS unit?

I remember on my WRX just about any down pipe was good, except for the HKS one... because it block off the wastegate...

 

That's why oe is good for the engine, being it's CAI

 

the HKS intake is probably the shittiest intake available for the Rx-8, I used it for a while and it deprived my car of 3whp, I switched it to a cone filter and I got 3 whp back

all in all, HKS is nothing, its just a shitty name brand in my experience, their BOV was good, but now with the synchronic its not best either

HKS sucks, and the price is just freaking rediculous

 

Can we put you down as undecided?

 

no, decided, **** HKS, long live WHP, long live Apexi, Long live DIY!

 

I'm sorry but you are just getting a rx8 with an exhaust and cruise around town trying to look cool, hence your a poser. We all know that it will do nil to **** for performance. Also to say a Srt-4 is faster than the 8 is a ridiculous statement. I’m getting the impression he is talking about straight line performance which obviously our cars are not designed for in the first place. Save your money and do suspension.

 

Well from my experience CAI is cheaper and has greater change in engine noise.

But of course, exhaust is more noticeable from the outside. If you are only getting it for the looks, just get new tips. Some exhausts will also change engine noise drastically, it really just depends on which brand. Exhausts are expensive though.

Both will have similar performance gains, which may be nothing or minimal. I would think CAIs would give more change in performance than exhaust though.

 

For a guy that is supose to be ignoring me, you sure talk alot about me.

 

why you guys gotta hate in vin diesel???

 

Red LED footwell lights? poser.

I would say the SRT-4 is faster than the 8.
0-60 / 1/4 mile:
2004 Mazda RX-8 5.8 14.49
2004 Dodge SRT-4 5.3 13.9

Seriously, I love the 8 but I don't understand the idea that its god's gift to man. Some cars are 'faster', some handle 'better' some might even look 'better'. Who cares. Changing exhaust just for the sound seems like a valid reason- no more invalid than your LED modifications. You're changing the car to better suit yourself even if there's no practicality in it. The only thing I would really consider 'posing' is lying about mods, or using stickers to lie about mods. Any enthusiast should appreciate what someone else does to their car, even if they don't agree with it.

Calling someone a poser only makes you look like an elitist *******.

 

Heh...I changed mine to the RB Rev8...it sounds waaaaaay better than stock...much deeper and nice and quiet...even with the midpipe on...

It's dyno proven gains compensate for the added weight...so I'm right back to +0!!

But...its completely worth not sounding like a ricer...I guess that makes me a ricer too...

 

how does one hate inside someone?

 

thats pretty easy if your male...i've hated alot of people i've been inside of...

 

Ohh look at you & your prison talk

 

^^^lol, touche

 

Yes...thats where it goes...

 

.

Maybe you don't browse around enough in this forum. I purchased RotaryRasp’s Led to support him as a forum member, maybe you were too busy in the pointless threads. Changing a exhaust for sound and no power gain is just as ridiculous as those dim-witted ricer drivers. Just some punk asses trying to be somebody.

P.S. RX8 is not designed for drag in case you haven't notioced, you let me know when a srt can keep up with a 8 on the track..

 

what is wrong buying an exhaust?

ricer or your word poser, means look over performance. he is getting an exhaust, it looks nicer, sound nicer, and it should give some hp gain. maybe not a lot of power gain, but its lighter than stock, which means there are performance. what is wrong with that?

and why do you say there are no power gain anyway? i believe there are gains to aftermarket exhaust. if it gives better flow and is "lighter" that means there are power.

i don't know much about rx-8's exhaust system yet, but at least for my subaru my TBE gives 30whp. plus the guy said, he is NOT looking for power gain just some sound, he know what the rx-8 is for, so just answer his question exhaust or intake and leave him alone.

IMO neon lights, led lights, all those LOOK stuff that make the car heavier is RICER.
