I already have the AEM air intake, but will putting a bigger sports exhaust muffler cause me to notice huge difference in power, torque and feel behind the wheel?
The Car....2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, 6 - Speed Manual.
Answer
You will definitely notice the difference depending on the size exhaust headers and exhaust pipes you run. I would personally go with 1 3/4 on the exhaust header and a 2 1/2 on the exhaust pipes. You will probably gain around 20-40 hp with that application depending on the catalytic converter and muffler you run. Hope this helps.

When buying a sports car and that being your only way of transportation would a 2005 Mazda rx-8 be a good buy?

I really want this car, I'm understand it takes special care to take care of a rotary engine? But does it require alot of maintenance? I understand it burns oil and only perferred oils are to be used? But how long would the engine last buying it used? Would it break down alot? or should I start looking into a more reliable sports car?
Answer
Just keep the oil changed every 2500 to 3500 miles Synthetic oil if it is recommended Keep extra oil with you. Rotarys DO NOT BURN OIL!!! OIL IS INJECTED IN THE COMBUSTION CYCLE ON TOP OF THE ROTORS TO KEEP THE APEX SEALS LUBE, IT IS PART OF THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. The help keep the engine right you should pre-mix 2 stroke oil in the fuel to have it last a bit more, but not the cheap crap go on RX8club.com and search premix and they let you know a good brand to use. Rotarys dont break down alot unless you abuse them and dont maintain them. If you not willing to keep up with the needs of a Rotary engine then yes look into a different Car... As for parts go the other guy is right there kind of hard to find but when you do they cost a bit more than other cars would look up Mazdatrix and RacingBeat for 2 of the U.S. part sources and there are a few aftermarket companys mainly in Japan that does for the RX8 as well. As also said by the other guy not everyone will work on a Rotary cause they have no Ideal about them so they stay away from them. If your a do it yourselfer than you'll figure it out and be happy that your doin it and if not find a specialty Rotary shop that knows what there doin. Hop on the Forums and READ so you'll know.
