Yeah he kept dropping and taking off and then slowing back down. I did drop 2 gears to quickly get off the freeway then he cuts 2 lanes to get off. I lost him on the off ramp long very turny off ramp.

what do you expect from a turbo-4 econobox?
just sayin...but really some better shoes and coilovers and it would make a great weekend warrior for sure!

nice dude! looks like no one here is interested in stock parts anyways!
still planning on getting a greddy SE?

He did have nice sounding exhaust tho. My friend wants to get a ms3.

Anywho that's my highlight for today. What's going on? I haven't been on much the past few days.

are you sure it wasn't stock because their stock exhaust sounds great stock.
or a common mod is just do a resonator delete on the stock exhaust and it's amazing
i wish mazda created a better sounding exhaust for the rx8...would of saved me $400!


tell him its a great car to have!
it may not drive anywhere near the rx8

but it for sure can handle quite well, is fast out of the box, and gets better mpg!

Ya im still planning on getting the Greddy...its affordable and it looks nice...idk why but I have been hoarding Greddy parts. Thats why, although its a R&D product (not sure maybe thats why it doesnt fit perfect or have the hose nipples) I have the Greddy cold air intake.

Its a Cold Air Intake...and I am going to try and find a way to fab some parts to make it fit right. lol i actually got pretty lucky getting it. I went to that Greddy sale and I spoke to one of the guys and they said they had sold it and it was the only one they had...and so somehow I found the person that bought it on the forum and bought it from him

I think they didnt put it into production cause of the poor product support the 8 recieves from many companies...our cars are not the most popular and parts for it are not too high in demand i guess.

Naw the tip was pretty big. I've seen stock tips on the ms3 but this one wasn't. Yeah my friend is saving up. Ever since I got my 8 my friend has been wanting a Mazda. Lol told him to go for the ms3. The 8 takes alot of care.

I can't choose between the SE and the SP2. I'm thinking about selling my midpipe. Idk.

I am gonna try and mess with it tomorrow some more maybe...im actually running with the hoses not on the intake so it worries me. As far as anything else I didnt really use the bracket...its kinda a tight fit on there so I let it be...it was a ghetto install but we were gonna close shop soon and I had to get my car outta the bay.

they're cheap easy to find and if done correctly can look pretty good or make a great track car!

cool sounds good roger!
hopefully you can get it all to fit right!

and gr8 if you sell your mp i haz first dibs! been wanting a mp.
what kind is it anyways?

i say go SE its a much better looking exhaust and isn't so expensive.
i love hi power i think its the best sounding one. imo been wanting to hear B &B in person because on youtube it sounds good but never heard it in person.

My friend wants a 4 seater lol.

Mp is lightly used probly 3000 miles on it. It's in my siggy but a ap duel rez. I love the sound paired with my rb intake on stock exhaust. No dents on a small scrape. I'll keep that in mind nikk.

Yeah I've heard the SE and it sounds nice. Also the SP2 sounds good with volcoms setup with the single Rez exotic speed.
