HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I have the hks on a mark 1 like yours No drone lovely deep tone, not harsh at all at low revs, But when you give it some Welly it roars lovely Definitely recommend
The AutoExe stuff is very nice--the leather is soft and rich, though the stitching isn't perfectly uniform. The AutoExe red stitching is a little brighter than the boot stitching and OEM stitching, but the difference isn't as big as it seems in the pictures. Overall, I'm very happy with this interior refresh. It feels like a new car.
GENUINE MAZDA OEM Spirit R Taillights L&R for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012)
I recently purchased a pair of Spirit R taillights for my GT through RX8 Upgrades I took the opportunity to also replace the centre stop light at the same time. I have been building up a war chest of parts over the last couple of years and thought it's probably better to fit them rather than have them sitting idle gathering dust.

The rear differential is one of the harder-working components in the RX8 driveline. Because of this, the parts surrounding it deserve the same attention as the engine and gearbox during any serious service. This range brings together the maintenance and supporting hardware most commonly needed when refreshing or looking after the rear end.
Mazda RX8 differential parts, differential oil, magnetic drain plugs, mounts and cooling covers, are grouped in one place for owners who want to approach the job properly.
Fluid condition is the single most important variable in differential longevity. Fresh oil restores the lubricating film the gears and bearings depend on. Also, selecting the correct specification matters. RX8 differential oil requirements differ depending on whether the car has an open differential or an LSD. For example, using the wrong fluid in a limited-slip unit will cause chatter and accelerate wear. Therefore, owners with an LSD should confirm they are selecting an appropriate RX8 LSD oil rather than a standard gear oil.
In addition, draining and refilling is the right moment to fit a RX8 magnetic drain plug. It captures fine ferrous particles in the fluid and keeps them away from precision surfaces between service intervals.
A fluid service is a natural prompt to inspect the surrounding hardware. Meanwhile, rubber differential mounts harden and crack with age. Tired items introduce driveline vibration that is easily mistaken for other causes. As a result, addressing RX8 differential mounts during a driveline refresh removes a common source of NVH without significant additional labour.
Moreover, for builds running harder or in warmer conditions, a RX8 diff cooling cover is worth considering as part of a more thorough driveline upgrade plan.
Rear differential work rarely benefits from being done in isolation. Before starting, review mount condition and confirm which differential configuration the car has. Then, select fluid accordingly. Combining a fluid change with fresh mounts and a magnetic drain plug in one session avoids pulling the hardware twice.
Finally, each product listing includes fitment and specification details for the full range of Mazda RX8 differential parts. Read them carefully to confirm the part suits your differential configuration and the work you have planned.
Most RX8 owners service the differential oil every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometres as part of routine driveline maintenance, though more frequent changes are worthwhile on cars used hard or on track. Checking the fluid condition at each major service interval is the best guide to whether a change is due.
The RX8 was available with both open and Torsen-type limited-slip differentials depending on specification and market. If your car has an LSD, it requires a fluid formulated to suit that differential type - using the wrong oil can cause chatter or premature wear on the clutch packs or torsen internals. Check your differential specification before selecting oil.
A magnetic drain plug captures fine metal particles that circulate in the differential oil before they can cause abrasive wear on gears and bearings. Inspecting the plug at each fluid change also gives a practical indication of how much internal wear is occurring, making it a useful addition to any differential service.
Differential mounts deteriorate over time and with heat cycles, and worn mounts can introduce driveline vibration, imprecise throttle response and increased NVH at the rear of the car. They are worth inspecting whenever the differential is out or the underside is being worked on, particularly on higher-mileage or track-used RX8s.
A differential cooling cover is a component designed to help manage heat in the differential housing, which can be a concern on cars driven hard or used in circuit conditions where sustained high loads raise fluid temperatures. It is most relevant to owners building for track or spirited road use rather than standard street driving.
A basic fluid change on the RX8 differential is within reach for a competent home mechanic with the correct tools and a suitable drain plug socket. More involved work such as mount replacement or cooling upgrades benefits from workshop experience with rear driveline components, and confirming torque specs and fluid quantities before starting is essential.
Combining a fluid change with mount inspection or replacement is sensible when the differential is already accessible, as it avoids duplicating labour and ensures the whole assembly is in good condition at the same time. Reviewing all supporting hardware together is a practical approach to a thorough driveline refresh.
