Mainstream Performance RX8 Exhaust

[Vteckidd]

I recently had Mainstream Performance make a custom exhaust for my RX8. Pretty much anything for the RX8 is retarded expensive, ($900+) and they dont offer alot of options.

Charles, Rob and James were able to tailor make an exhaust exactly to what i wanted. Nothing too loud, but definetly not quiet either.

Their pricing was great, i paid $550 for this exhaust where other competitors were in the $900+ range. The overall look was great, and the sound is SICK.

Judge for yourself:

2 Magnaflow Oval Mufflers
2 Magnaflow Tips
2.5in Piping

And for those that said my car wasnt low enough, the springs have settled a lot more , its def a lot lower than stock

Sounds really good. Kind of reminds me of my Racingbeat header and muffler combo on the first gen. Did you look at the Racing Beat system? I don't know how much it costs but $900+ sounds a bit high, then again, you utilize 2 mufflers and it might be very different for the 8 than the 7.

That better not have been a cold engine you were revving.

No offense but the general Rx-8 community is for lack of a better term "rotary stupid" and they don't know how to properly take care of their rotary engine. I'm not saying you're one of the dumb ones but about 80% of the Rx-8 owners at the last Mazmart meet bounced off of redline leaving the meet right after starting their cars up on a cold engine. Just making sure that you know to warm it in idle for at least a few seconds. If you don't the engine won't last as long and you'll just feed into the negative rotary reliability stereotypes.

i had just driven the car home about 50 miles so it was very warm, and at operating temp

lol i KNEW someone would say that , no offense taken though

Yeah I wasn't attacking you, just trying to possibly protect yourself from yourself, but you already know, so props for that. Good job, I love the way the system looks. Any undercar pics?

Do you actually think he would have a 5in exhaust on a NA car? What kind of dumbass are you even after he said he didnt want anything too loud. Re-read it, it says 2.5in.
