noob question
what bolt on's can i get without having to tune it? also what bolt on's actually have proven horsepower gains? i have experimented with a lot of honda cars and most people just think it's faster just because it gets louder. from my reading on this site, a midpipe and a exhaust is good proven power adders, and from what i interpret an intake doesn't do much. how do you get the cel light off if you have a midpipe?

The RX-8 doesn't respond well to " bolt-on's ", Mazda did a dam good job on this car. It's not easy or cheap to improve on stock.

so the midpipe will not throw a cel? i was looking at the exhuast, cat combo from turbo XS and it showed a dyno gain of 25whp. that's just hype right?

well i'm gonna have a straight through testpipe, because there is no emissions in florida. what do i have to do to fix the cel light if it does go off?

man...i wish i lived in florida!!!...anyways, there are no definite fixes to the cel, some have tried to get rid of it by tuning but still came back on, its just that our ECU is just wayyy too smart...i say just live with it...you might get a cel, you might not...
