  Power Output

  Utilizing in-house dyno test facilities, the Racing Beat engineering staff has undertaken exhaust system extensive testing with the RX-8 Renesis engine. Their research has found that simply adding a large-diameter, “straight-through” muffler is very loud, and power gains are only modest. They focused their development efforts on optimizing the power output, while maintaining a moderate, but aggressive exhaust tone.

  Based upon our initial test sessions, it appeared that the Mazda engineers did not leave much “untapped” horsepower behind in the stock exhaust system. Although it appears there might be modest power gains available from a “cat-back” exhaust system, be wary of big horsepower claims from any aftermarket exhaust system.

  Racing Beat’s testing has provided the following results:

  Stock production engine – with muffler removed +5 HP
  Stock production engine – with RB muffler + 3.5 HP
  Stock production engine – with aftermarket system “A” muffler + 3.5 HP
  Stock production engine – with aftermarket system “B” muffler + -1.5 HP

  EXHAUST CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACE PIPE 04-11

  Racing Beat Catalytic Converter Replace Pipe, 04-11 

  Racing Beat REN.V1 RX-8 Race Pipe

  Each pipe comes complete with all required mounting hardware, gaskets, and installation instructions.

  RX-8 Race Pipe – 2004-2011 RX-8 – Racing Beat offers a full 304-stainless steel catalytic converter replacement pipe for RX-8 racing applications. The weight of this pipe is 10 lbs. This mandrel-bent 3″ OD racing pipe is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock catalytic converter section. This pipe utilizes a genuine OEM rear mounting flange for a secure fit to the stock (or an aftermarket) exhaust system. (See photo below.) The race pipe is equipped with a sensor fitting for the oxygen sensor. (Note: Placement of the sensor in the pipe will cause the “check engine” light to be illuminated, but performance and engine systems for racing applications will not be affected.) Removal of the OE catalytic converter/presilencer section will result in a noticeably louder exhaust tone.

  MUFFLER RX8, RACING BEAT “RACE”

  MUFFLER RX8, RACING BEAT “RACE”

  Power Output
  Performance gains are comparable with Racing Beat REV 8 Street Exhaust:

  Stock production engine – with muffler removed +5 HP
  Stock production engine – with RB street or race exhaust + 3.5 HP approx.

  Sound Quality
  While louder than the stock system, particularly under full throttle, this exhaust system can be used for those looking for a very aggressive exhaust tone for their daily-driven RX-8. A modest driving technique will produce a moderate and tolerable exhaust tone, but jump on the throttle and this exhaust really comes to life. Full throttle does not produce a buzzy or harsh, but a more exotic sound like that of a tuned V-6 engine. During a long-distance trip to the race track during prototype testing for this system, our independent test driver commented that highway cruising was very tolerable, without any droning sounds or harmonics.

  This exhaust system is equipped with a stainless steel connecting pipe and all required mounting hardware.

  *Measured approximately 50′ away from the side of an otherwise stock 2004 RX-8 MT under full throttle. Your actual decibel reading may vary. Other factors, including atmospheric conditions, additional performance accessories, tires, etc.. may cause variations in your actual sound measurement.
