Here is a quick list I made of pros and cons of a midpipe (cat delete), and why I think it is a MUST HAVE for an rx8.

  • @JDUBZisYAHWEH
    Would decat my 8 if my dumbass government didnt require emissions testing every two years.
  • @Dainci
    Important thing: if you just pit midpipe withiut changing muffler it will barely shot flames. Rear muffler is very restrictive, there are many topics about it on forums

    I just buy an RX8 Evolve thanks to your videos ! I dont want to modify it a lot like you, but i may install a mid pipe one day !

    I just bought a BHR Midpipe without a cat. Still waiting for it to ship in though. At first I was kinda worried about the smell but now I don’t think that it’ll be that bad. Keep up the RX8 videos!

    Sounds a bit too loud for me, but don't think there is too much that can be done; I've driven a rotary without a cat back before and it was pretty loud. Also bought a CRX that I didn't take on the highway first, and it was quite loud and droned, but it was also geared terrible and ran something like 4 or 5k rpm at those speeds :p My exhaust plan is RB header, BHR resonated midpipe with catalyst (depending on the regulations when purchased), and the RB Rev8 cat back. From what I've researched, it will give me the least sound increased with a deeper tone. I think at current prices it will run around $2000. Need to do BHR ignition and some other stuff first, 26k miles, so that 30k maintenance stuff approaching soon, exhaust will have to wait

    Great video! So far, i love my Rx8's mid pipe :) I have a de-cat midpipe install video on my channel if anyone is interested πŸ‘Œ The smell is kind of annoying, because your clothes and car interior absorb the smell a bit, but once you're used to it, it's all good...not healthy, but petrol heads will smell you coming :P
  • @jaycool5978
    Actually u can get a decat, which will take the O2 sensor. It looks like an acutal Cat but it's just an empty box
  • Hey mate.. Nice car.. Did you ever try google "How to clear nvram rx8" ? I hope this is not the answer to your japanese tune 1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position, but do not start engine. 2. Pump the brake pedal at least 20 times within 8 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.

    I wrecked my rx8 slide it into a post these cars are very tempting careful
  • @NateRist
    BHR ftw! racing beat is great, but the BHR midpipe's resonator uses a swirly piece of metal welded into it whereas racing beat uses steel wool
  • Black Halo Racing makes an excellent pipe is about 500$ but its the best one around. Paired with turboXS catback and ur golden.
  • @shadowzone2013
    Is there a specific way to get it to shoot flames? Or does it just happen when you're driving?
  • @m4d_al3x
    it kinda sucks that in germany they prohibit a car ever from driving on public roads if they catch you without a kat.
  • @michaelm.1576
    Where did you buy those cool halo light rings from?
