    Default Mainstream Performance RX8 Exhaust

    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




    Thanks Mainstream Performance!

    P.S. They even stayed late to finish my exhaust cause i showed up late (Me late? NEVER!)

    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.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    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.
