Don't know much on RX8s,

You guys can't put some non-foulers to push the O2s further away from reading the exhaust? It works for most of us w 350Z. You can also erase the codes with an OBDII reader but it'll come back on if you don't fix the problem. Just some things to think about. I'm curious why it would throw the light. Are you replacing everything from engine back. Good Luck

Yeah theirs people who tried non-foulers but no worky worky :[

Theirs a Cobb Access Port, that will turn it off forever. but i dont have another 700 laying around :/

i think danny told me he went some where to get his turned off when he got the exhaust. was wondering if they can do the same for me.

I wanna get a Agency Power Exhaust http://www.fluidmotorsports.com/p-93-exhaust.aspx

also this is how its gonna sound and look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTCJZLFc9Po

i doubt you will get a CEL with the complete exhaust.
but if it does i would recommend the anti foulers, but the resonator seems legit for no CEL. the cobb ap wont erase it but trick the ecu, only way for that is to take it to a cobb tuner(closest is in el paso) but i dont think the base map on the AP will make the CEL go away.

o and a heads up with the exhaust mod and warranty. you know the dealer isnt mod friendly. bout would like to see your rx8 throwing flames

with the cobb access port he can get it tuned but the access port is too damn expensive. but the base map on it wont make the CEL go away, just unlock the ecu and add like 50hp depending on mods and the only cobb tuners in tx is in el paso. thats expensive already.

same with the unichip for the rx8 but i think the unichip is more of a hassle.

I would get a CEL and anti foulers (non-foulers) wont work, their was one guy said he had it on but only worked for 3000miles, resonator would set it off still, im gonna need a high flow cat, but im not gonna be able to shoot flames :[. As for the Access Port Mazda Maniac will tune it for you before they send it or they can give me the stock base map from AP which is stupid haha. I dont think they would void my warrenty, dont forget the Magnossan-Moss Act they have to prove that thats whats causing the problems before they can void any warrenty . And if they do ill still have my engine warrenty and the other stuff besides exhaust and emissions. SCWEETT!!! haha or i can always take it off when its in for service and warrenty work, and put it back on haha

then **** it its just a light.
as far as the AP you need to have it married to your ecu for tuning. the only thing they will do is prob. give you an updated software(like the access tuner pro or access tuner race) so you can switch from the base map or the upgraded map. even at that your gonna have to actually have it pro. tuned for switching the base maps.
thats what one of our former members (from b-ville now lives in DFW)w/ a ms3 is gonna do. he has the AP and is gonna upgrade to the AT pro but get it tuned in el paso.

I thought they can just upload the tunes to the programmer and plug it in to the OBDII. and upload it to the ECU... anyways what the hell am i gonna do for inspection?
