AUTOEXE Premium Cat-Back Exhaust Muffler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012) AUTOEXE Premium Cat-Back Exhaust Muffler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Just installed my spanking new Autoexe Stainless Muffler, and here's a short take of my initial impressions: The Autoexe catback is lovely - very unique 2 box design and the tips are the tapered kind (ie cut at an angle) each lasercut with the Autoexe logo. Very nicely polished midpipe which connects beautifully (and easily) with the exhaust outlet. Most importantly, the exhaust tips have a perfect visual alignment, unlike other exhausts i've seen where one tip protrudes out more than the other. The Autoexe definitely doesn't have this problem. Also, the 2 box design has a lower profile than stock. Previously, i used to scrape and even dent the exhaust box when clearing humps or even parking - not so with the Autoexe. The Autoexe performs really well, at least on my AT. There is a noticable increase in low end torque, and the car just feels substantially lighter. Revs are much more responsive, and the slight lag felt when launching the car seems to have melted away. Linear acceleration is also much faster (at least across 1st 3 gears), and i'm reaching 120-130kmh much faster on 2nd gear alone (NB mine is the 4spd AT). I'm very pleased with the low-torque gains on the Autoexe - finally i have that slight 'lurch' from start which the manuals seem to have, but the ATs don't. The Autoexe starts off idle with a really low, bassy growl. When first installed, it was barely audible, but sounds louder now. In time, the db will increase to an extent. On higher RPM revs, exhaust sounds deep and wet, and def not those shrilly Remus' we hear on the expressways from time to time. Installation was a breeze, and took under an hour at Monster Garage at Ubi, who's the only authorized dealer in Singapore, so these guys know their stuff. The torque/hp improvement was a shocker esp on low end, esp when mine's an AT. I've heard of bros installing Fujitsubos and HKSs that have either no or negative benefit. In this respect, I'm mighty pleased with the Autoexe. Sound is not loud, but a soft low bassy growl when idle, which develops into a mature wet sound at higher revs.

RE-AMEMIYA Additional RHS Oil Cooler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1, 2003-2008) RE-AMEMIYA Additional RHS Oil Cooler for Mazda RX8 (Series 1, 2003-2008)

I have the oil cooler fitted recently Jarl, with a MazdaSpeed (RHS) oil cooler Try to get the MazdaSpeed or the US, Hong Kong or Japan spare parts. I suspect they are different but what the hell it is still an oil cooler. Japan does not have oil cooler in the Type S as standard but most people will have that as option. Certainly they mostly opted for the MazdaSpeed version of the oil cooler (btw it looks the same as the other one I have now ) There are many oil cooler available as an aftermarkey option, such as HKS and Fujita engineering, just to name two. They are very pricey and go over the $1000 mark. So I choose the $600 MazdaSpeed one instead. What you need is a garage, really. I will recommend changing oil and oil filter at the same time. It does mean a cleaner job. Make sure you take care of the joints and prepare for an oil leak (did have some on my installation). The right oil cooler gets the first of the oil from the central (engine) side and they travel to the left (stock) one before going back to central. There is a bass tube (as shown in the attachement above) to connect the right to the left oil cooler. Get a quote for $300 installation since it will take someone 6 hours to do (inc changing oil). Make sure they run the car for 10 minutes before putting the front bumper back up, just to see if there are still leaks. Result is amazing, central console is not hot anymore, well... it is cooler than what it has been. Say the temp in the cup holder used to be like the upper tray of the coffee machine (the area that warms the cup). Now it is like the keyboard of your laptop, still warm but certainly the house key I put in the cup holder will not burn my finger anymore. MazdaSpeed oil cooler is race proven. In BestMotoring, people raced for 20 minutes in the heat, MazdaSpeed oil cooler has a oil temp of 100 degree cel, but the S2K and Integra are running at 130 degree plus.

ODULA is a Japanese performance brand with a strong focus on rotary exhaust engineering. The brand has built its name in Japan developing headers and manifolds with rotary engines firmly in mind. Its design philosophy reflects how a rotary breathes differently from a piston engine. For example, pulse management, port timing and heat management all play a different role. Because of that rotary-specific thinking, RX8 owners turn to ODULA when planning an exhaust build.

What ODULA brings to an RX8 exhaust build

An RX8 exhaust manifold sits at the start of the entire exhaust gas path. As a result, its design has a meaningful influence on how freely the engine revs through the mid and upper range. A well-engineered manifold supports scavenging and reduces back-pressure. However, the standard cast unit was never optimised to do this.

ODULA’s manifold work for the Mazda RX8 draws on rotary-specific experience. The brand is a genuine point of reference for owners who want more than a generic header swap.

Researching an ODULA RX8 manifold for your build

Searches for a Mazda RX8 ODULA manifold or ODULA exhaust manifold Australia typically come from owners at the planning stage. When products are listed, each individual listing will carry confirmed fitment, included components and installation notes. That detail is always the authoritative source before purchasing. You can also visit the ODULA official website for manufacturer-level product information.

What to confirm before purchasing any RX8 exhaust manifold

  • First, verify the listing confirms your RX8 series and production year. Series 1 and Series 2 can differ in fitment requirements.
  • Also, check whether the product is supplied as a complete unit or requires additional hardware.
  • In addition, consider how the manifold interfaces with the rest of your exhaust setup. This matters particularly if you are running or planning a cat-back or turbo conversion.
  • Finally, confirm current stock status before scheduling workshop time. Japanese performance parts can move quickly when they arrive in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ODULA make for the RX8?

ODULA is a Japanese performance brand known for exhaust manifolds and related components designed for the rotary engine platform. Their RX8 range focuses on exhaust configuration parts. Check current listings on this page for what is available at any given time.

Why would I upgrade the exhaust manifold on my RX8?

The factory exhaust manifold on the RX8 is designed around emissions compliance and cost targets rather than outright flow. An aftermarket manifold can reduce exhaust backpressure, which is particularly relevant to the rotary engine given its continuous combustion cycle and sensitivity to exhaust scavenging efficiency.

Is an aftermarket exhaust manifold compatible with my existing RX8 exhaust system?

Compatibility depends on the specific manifold and your current exhaust setup. Before purchasing, confirm the flange type, outlet diameter and any supplied hardware against your existing cat, downpipe or cat-back system. Always review the individual product listing for stated application and fitment details.

Do I need to retune my RX8 after fitting an aftermarket exhaust manifold?

Changing the exhaust manifold alters exhaust flow and can affect air-fuel ratios and ignition timing at various points in the rev range. A retune is strongly recommended after fitting an aftermarket manifold to ensure the engine management is correctly calibrated for the new configuration.

Are ODULA parts available in Australia?

RX8 Upgrades lists ODULA parts for the Australian market as stock becomes available. Because ODULA produces specialist components in limited volumes, availability can change. Check this page for current listings, and review individual product pages for confirmed stock status before planning installation.

What should I check before buying an RX8 exhaust manifold?

Confirm the manifold suits your specific RX8 series, verify what items are included in the kit, and check how the outlet configuration matches your downstream exhaust components. Also consider whether your build already has a catalytic converter you want to retain, as manifold designs vary in whether they integrate or precede the cat.

Where can I find more technical information about ODULA products?

The ODULA official website at odula.com is the manufacturer's primary source for product specifications and engineering information. For confirmed Australian availability, fitment details and supplied-component information, refer to the individual product listings on this page.
