I managed to install my first power mod...I hope you can view the Kodak Gallery ok...lemme know what you think...I'm sure it's nothing new, but hey I'm excited about it!

Kodak Gallery -- RX8 Greddy exhaust

 

Nice pictures.
So why the Greddy over some of the others?

 

Cool, any hp gains? i was considering this vs agency

 

To be honest there's really no HP gain from what I can tell...as weird as it sounds I feel a little torque gain that's all...I can tell because if I mash the gas pedal on a right turn the rear lets loose, it never did that before...throttle response is improved which makes shifting much more fun...and it's super loud...anything over 5k at WOT is LOUD!...but given that it has absolutely no drone on the freeway and it's even quieter than stock when you let off the throttle, I think it's a great exhaust overall!

I was looking at the Espelir 500...that was my #1 choice, but it was on backorder for weeks so I just decided to go with the Greddy...if money was no option I'd have the RE Amemiya Dolphin Tail muffler...that thing looks amazing!...but for now I'm happy with the Greddy...it's loud when you're on the throttle but never annoying when you just wanna cruise.

 

Congrats! Now give it to me! LOL!

 

Ah! Mine was all clean and shiny like that...once upon a time.

 

You think it is loud at WOT?

Throw a midpipe on it and then you will think of it as super quiet when it has a stock cat and resonator.

I can't wait to put the RB midpipe back in. I miss the sound that it gives when shifting gears. Sounds like doooom when letting off the gas.



Use some english custom polish hot chrome on the tips to keep them looking good.

The sooner you can apply the polish the better off because it helps prevent the golding that happens since these tips are single walled.

 

Yeah, I have the SP2 and SR High Flow Cat, and its a bit quiet for my taste. I will probably get a resonated midpipe once someone on the forums sells one. The gf couldn't even tell I added a aftermarket exhaust, which I'd say is a good thing, or I just have her broken in now.

 

sweet, yeah i remember when mine was that shiney too. i'm getting rid of the sp2 exhaust soon and going with the evo-tt soon.

 

What's the weight (kg or pounds) and pipe size (before mufflers and tips... mm or inches) of the greddy exhaust?

 

What's english custom polish hot chrome and how do you apply it?

 

It is a polish with waxes made specifically for hot environments like exhaust tips.

Gloves are recommended because the chemicals are harsh on the skin.

1. Shake well till the little steel ***** inside shake freely.

2. Apply with a soft cloth following the grain if possible. I believe on the Greddy the grain follows the pipe.

3. Wait a few minutes for it to haze over.

4. Wipe off with a clean soft cloth.

 

Thank you sir...ordered a bottle just now...I shouldn't worry about applying it to the inside of the tip should I?

 

Well if you do it will shine up very easily because of the waxes that are in it.

So I would.

 

i was thinking about buying one real soon. if you could can you take a video of a fly bye so i can hear how it sounds and btw congrats

 

are we suppose to dis regard the cloth after...becuase of all the carbon build up?

 

Sorry, I don't have a camcorder. I suck I know.

 

go look at youtube.com and type in rx8 exhaust, or greddy rx8. should be a flyby and a rev one....

I have the sp2 and LOVE IT!!!!
