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.

EXHAUST CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT PIPE, 04-ON RX8 RESONATED
Racing Beat Catalytic Converter Resonated Replacement Pipe, 04-11 RX8
Racing Beat REN.V2 RX-8 Race Pipe
Resonated Catalytic Converter Replacement Race Pipe – RX-8 owners have discovered that a installing a non-resonated catalytic converter race pipe on a RX-8 can produce a surprising loud exhaust tone. If your racing application or local track requires a modest, quieter exhaust tone, then the Racing Beat REN.V2 resonated race pipe is the perfect solution.Racing Beat offers a 3″ OD fully stainless steel catalytic converter replacement pipe with dual resonators for RX-8 racing applications. Fitted with two (2) rotary-designed resonator units selected specifically for the RX-8 chassis. Each resonator is tightly packed with stainless steel wool for optimum sound supression and tone quality.
Both our resonated and non-resonated pipe versions are direct bolt-on replacements for the stock catalytic converter section. Racing Beat replacement pipes utilize a genuine Mazda OEM rear mounting flange to ensure a secure fitment to the stock (or an aftermarket) exhaust system. Each replacement 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.)
Each race pipe comes complete with all required mounting hardware, gaskets, and installation instructions.

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 HPSKU: 16397

EXHAUST HEADER 13B, 74-78 NO FLANGE EXCEPT PICK UP
Racing Beat 13B Exhaust Header, 74-78 No Flange. Will not work on the Pick Up
This rotary exhaust Header/Collector (less outlet flange) is ideal for RX-2, RX-3, RX-4, and COSMO (does not fit rotary pickup) custom exhaust installations. The flame-cut, .5-inch thick engine flange provides positive sealing and alignment. By integrating the collector with the header we reduce the effort and cost in completing the exhaust system. Engine-to-pipe gaskets are not included but are available separately. An Air Control and Check Valve Cover Plate is required when using this header with a stock intake system.
If the stock resonator is eliminated during installation of this unit, we strongly recommend selecting a Power Pulse Presilencer and installing it in place of the resonator to maintain a pleasant noise level and character.
