they're driving civics though. Cops EXPECT them to have stupid loud exhausts and all kinds of illegal / retarded mods.
our cars are a bit more subtle and not quite as notorious for that.

I wouldn't buy it. Waste of money.
Make plans to buy and have installed in USA. Try Mazda Trix or Reliable Rotory.
I'm sure RR can get it and install it here in Santa Ana Ca.
Save some bucks

I'm installing a non resonated catless midpipe from rx7store.com next week on my greddy sp2. That should be nice and loud haha. We'll see how long it goes before I get pulled over.

When I was in search of a good exhaust, I also came up to this concern, basicly I ended buying the SP2 Greedy then later bought B&B midpipe, to be honest sounds just about right infront of the cops lol.. the sound is not that loud nor too low, I might be able to post a video on youtube but if I do I'll want to compare with another RX8 with a diferent exhaust set up than mine

i'm located in SoCal and i had the hks hi power for almost 6 months, and never got any trouble for it.
as long as you don't attract attention to yourself by keeping the car in the low rpms you should be ok. however it is quite obvious that you have an aftermarket because of the single exit.
it still is my favorite sounding exhaust, and defitnely well worth it.

Ray, I got that reso installed...I like the way it turned out! Got rid of the raspyness like I wanted and still loud like I wanted it. I've got a small vibration between 4200-4600 when cold but once warmed up nicely it is pure heaven. Heading to the VIR next weekend, I'll try and get some video of me out on track.

The HKS Hi-power is my favorite exhaust for this car... It sounds amazing with the RB non-resonated midpipe, but its certainly very loud. I occasionally get pulled over and harassed for it, but in general I keep it quiet in residential areas and coast into my neighborhood when I come home at late hours. Now, I didn't have the HKS exhaust before my turbo, so I'm not sure how loud the exhaust and a midpipe would be without a turbo to muffle it. Probably obnoxiously loud.
