Got another catback on my car, did a bunch of maintenance work, replaced the coils, and put my fogs back on.
I feel re-inspired for the rx8! I can't wait to get pictures of my far too low car on the track to post up, only to have people scoff and laugh at is

I shouldn't have installed it as it needs some welding work, but I was a bit to ansy not to. Similar design to the JIC full Ti, but I don't believe it is the JIC. The JIC has 2.5" piping while this exhaust has true 3" piping, though the canister piece + tips are identical to the JIC.
The previous owner said it was a prototype for another company, then later said it was a JIC. I believe it came from the same factory as the JIC, due to the materials/weld quality, but was never actually labeled a JIC piece. All in all, it's full Ti & 3", a very rare piece for our car so I am happy with it. Pretty loud with the rest of my setup, but I'll do my best to make it work in the streets.
After all, 'manufacturers' such as JIC often rebrand a large number of their parts, though many come from the same factories utilizing the same materials.
