Mazdaspeed parts are wonderful quality, but most aftermarket parts in the area of performance for the RX8 won't yield big gains for what you pay. In VA, the biggest issue as one320fc mentioned that will get you ticketed is our tint laws and exhaust noise violations. I've run a dual midpipe on the RX8 now with a stock catback for over two years with not so much as a second glance from officers on the highway. It's mostly what they can see and how much you stand out. Things like body kits, custom paint, wheels, etc won't get you much grief. If you plan to stay in the military on post somewhere in VA though, the MP may give you more grief, lol.

What year is your rx8 and what do you plan to do? These questions will help us to answer warranty issues and overall worth vs gain...
