How come the Aussies and the Kiwi's get all the cool toys!!! Awesome work Hymee. I'm wondering if all of the supercharger parts will clear in the engine bay of a left hand drive car though?

")Hymee's little concoction could be worns as bling by some of those big boy's and personally I reckon looks good enough too.
"once were warriors"...famous movie about south auckland. (temuera morrison - star wars dude...)
And the "too many sleeps" refers to the Nat's in Aus which I'm off too in about 5 days!.....where we hope His Hymeeness will have the bling back under the bonnet for all to aclaim.

A thing of beauty my friend... A true thing of beauty indeed 
Although you are spending my money way faster than I can earn it.
Lets look at the quote:
Twin Screw Supercharger
Motec engine management
Extractors
Highflow Cat
Total cost:
I am afraid it is bread and water for me from now on! :o

Speaking of emmisions...
The stainless steel high-flow cat with stainless steel catalyst is "50 State Legal" CARB and EPA approved

Go Texas Longhorns!
my god man, that is AWESOME.
How much lighter is the midpipe than stock? Does the center pipe in the header keep the air split? Hows the sound on the midpipe?

Hymee, did you find that you really needed to upgrade the exhaust with the S/C, or is that just a little decoration on the cake? Any proven gains with the exhaust upgrades when super charging?

I get giddy everytime I hear CARB. There is virtually nothing that is CARB approved for the RX8. Please Please Please persue the sticker for your Supercharger kit. I'm trying to keep the car 100% legal in California.
BTW it looks sexay :D

Hymeeeeee!!! u da man!
So... seeing any improvements with your header design? (looks beautiful by the way)
How does flow on your cat compare to the competition... RotaryPerformance, SR motorsports and Canzoomer? Yours has a silencer on it as well, right? And this bad boy is CARB and EPA cleared for the 04-05 RX-8? Hot damn...
Good work!
Oh... looking at those S/C pics... how does the intake setup work on it?

I have been reading various threads that always mention CARB. What exactly is that? I know it has to do with Califronia, but what the heck does it do for the exhaust?

California Air Resources Board. they regulate anything having to do with vehicle emissions, and you need either an approval or exemption on the product to be able to use it on your vehicle and keep it legal in california.

Would some extruded honing help with flow?? or would it be considered ****..?
Btw, Hymee, are you thinking of selling a complete package?? ie SC, right back to the exhaust tips? inc grill kit etc etc?
