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.
