HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
my youtube videos are all running the HKS hi-power with racing beat dual res midpipe. sounds glorious @ WOT, but also tame enough to cruise 8 hours on the highway.
AUTOEXE Lower Arm Bar (Rear) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
The rear lower arm bar is very nice and strong. There are 4 pieces two triangular bars for the subframe and two smaller bars that strengthen the rear arm. Overall I'm very happy with the bars. The quality of the autoexe bars are excellant and the packaging and handling of the bars are superb. I found my turn in using the autoexe bar was more responsive then my old Cusco lower arm. As well my rear is more stable when exiting out of corners. The best part about these bars is probably the front member brace and the triangualar rear brace that strengthen up the chassis. Because with my current suspension setup to the max and without my roll cage installed yet, my cars chassis is flexing from the pressure and stress buildup that I put on it at the track. For the price I'm very satisfied. Even though the price isn't cheap and in some cases you can buy a car, but the bars are definatley worth the money.
I am happy with the mod. Very happy. Taka s recommended first mod list: Sway bar. Odula intake or similar. Brake pads. I think it is no worse. I actually think the power opens up after 6000rpm without losing anything at all below 3000rpm. There is no extra noise when you have windows up and turn on the radio. Certainly, Zaku has talked about the moo noise while cruising at 6000 rpm. Well, I have to say it is a very small cow then. I am happy that it is no big noise, since that would indicate a good seal and laminated air flow to the air box.
APEXi Electronic SMART Accelerator Controller with Harness for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
Boost 1 felt impressive indeed. Very easy to chirp the rears and get TRC active. This would probably be the all-round mode you could use every day. Lovely accelerator response and a positive feeling that the car is faster off the mark. Boost 2... where do I start? Perhaps with the black lines I've been leaving on my test track. This mode is absolutely ridiculous, and care should be taken when the car is in Sport mode and TRC turned off. You can easily get the car to light up the rears with the absolute minimum of effort. The first time I tested this I was genuinely surprised and had to tap the brakes and give out a sigh of shock. Amazing power delivery... it feels as though the car has been turbocharged and off the line performance is stellar. All in all, for around $250 delivered, this is one amazing piece of hardware. Overall rating: A++ Takes the sluggishness out of the IS to transform it into a spritely beast.

The RX8’s proportions are already a strong foundation. A wide stance, a fastback roofline and those distinctive suicide doors give the car genuine visual presence. Choosing the right Mazda RX8 styling parts lets you work with that geometry rather than against it.
The right choices tighten up the details. As a result, the car gains a finish that feels deliberate from every angle. Whether you are correcting tired factory trim or steering toward something more individual, the right exterior choices make every other upgrade look better by association.
The most effective appearance upgrades read as part of a single vision. They respect the car’s existing lines, matching the colour direction and sitting in proportion with the build. For example, a well-chosen splitter, lip or trim piece does not demand attention. It simply makes the car look more resolved. That is the standard worth chasing.
Finding quality Mazda RX8 styling parts in Australia means being selective. The market for these cars has matured. Therefore, the parts that remain available are worth treating as a genuine investment in the car’s long-term presentation.
Before any exterior upgrade, ask whether a piece improves the car as a whole. Cohesion is the goal. Moreover, one well-chosen exterior update that ties existing elements together will always read better than several mismatched additions.
Before selecting any Mazda RX8 styling parts, consider the finish you are working toward. Also, think about how each addition will sit alongside what is already on the car. A consistent approach to colour, surface finish and visual weight produces builds that hold their appeal over time. The Mazda Australia design language rewards that considered approach. Because the RX8 responds well to refinement, it rewards cohesion over conflicting changes.
The range covers exterior appearance-focused components designed to refine the RX8's presentation and support a more cohesive overall look. Options suit everything from a subtle factory-inspired finish through to a more personalised build direction, with choices that complement different colour, trim and wheel combinations.
Fitment varies by part. Genuine OEM replacement styling components are designed to install without modification, while aftermarket appearance parts may require panel preparation or professional fitting depending on the specific item. Check the individual product listing for fitment notes before purchasing.
Appearance-focused parts such as exterior trim, badges and cosmetic panels are not structural components and do not affect the car's structural integrity when fitted correctly. Always confirm that any part is suited to your intended use, particularly if the car sees track days or spirited driving.
Start with a clear direction for colour, trim and overall balance before selecting individual parts. The most effective results come from changes that complement each other and the existing build, rather than adding multiple unrelated elements. Matching finish tones and keeping proportions consistent tends to produce the most cohesive outcome.
Series compatibility varies across the range. The RX8 received updates between Series 1 and Series 2 that affect exterior panel dimensions and trim details, so some parts suit both series while others are specific to one. Always check the fitment information on each individual product listing to confirm compatibility with your build year.
Yes. Many RX8 owners pursue both performance and appearance upgrades simultaneously, and the two are not mutually exclusive. Planning both directions together from the outset makes it easier to achieve a build that is visually cohesive as well as mechanically improved, particularly when wheel, brake and exterior choices are considered as a whole.
On a well-used RX8, refreshing faded, cracked or damaged exterior trim and styling components can significantly improve the car's overall presentation and help it feel more complete. Replacing worn details is often one of the more cost-effective ways to lift the visual standard of an older car without committing to a full respray.
