no --but it is fairly simple to do--i have a thread somewhere......
but you have to modify the connector plug a little, the venturi line has to be cut and just clamped on and the entire assembly has to be rotated to a 3 o clock position(forward facing arrow) and thats it. so many improvements in the 2009 pump.
Just do it huh? Thinking.

I placed a piece of rubber between the BeatRush transmission brace and the two lower transmission bolts (were the two pieces meet) and it cut down vibration/noise transfer considerably. I took a universal fit radiator hose I had laying around and cut one end (flat surface) and later trimmed the piece to fit between the two metal surfaces. I drilled two holes in order to fit the two transmission bolts and to keep the rubber piece from sliding away. I coated the rubber piece with urethane grease (the real sticky stuff that comes with urethane bushings) so I will not fade away nor will degrade the rubber hose piece. Support the transmission while removing the two lower bolts and torque to 100 ft/lbs. I did the same to my BeatRush differential brace.
Life is good.

Thanks Juan so I guess that when all said and done the rubber after being torqued down is about a 1/4" thick maybe even 1/8" thick??? my track even is in the middle of May and trying to get everything prep'd...

I finally got tired of my RX8 rear dust collector (rear bumper) and found your rear bumper mod thread. I did the same but instead of using the gutter screen mesh, I used a piece of steel mesh I found while at Home Depot. The diamond pattern is almost the same and I painted it flat black just like my RB front grille. I used brush paint instead of spray cuz it is more durable and it does not chip or flakes. I also added a small wire between the center of the lower bumper (right below the center triangle) and the metal muffler heat shield to prevent the bumper from bowing out while driving at 130+ mph.

This is very nice 
but I don't thinck this is very aerodynamic...'cause the air flow might have turbulence at the extraction point
Love it anyway ?!

I now have spark!
I recently did the Fluid Motorsports coil connectors.
Some "spare" LS2 coils from a friend.
(MSD 8247 coils are on back order)
My old Mazsport Ignition coil mount with extra washers for the LS2 coils.
MSD 90 degree boot spark plug wires.
MSD LS2 coil terminal ends for the LS2 coils.
I did not notice a difference at first, but the car seems to run better at idle and under load.

Good to hear!
I will ship out the MSD''s as soon as they are back in stock.
