Cob is not a piggy back. It's a PCM re-flash tool that reprograms the factory ECU. You don't leave it connected like say and SAFC-II (an actual piggy back). Even the Power FC is a stand alone computer (This is an FC / FD computer though)...

Well actually you leave the AP connected like a piggy back, atleast if yo want to use the launch control and other features (Idk if the rx8s get launch control or not but the subarus do). But you right its a flash you get cobb to load the program then jut plug it in. And like I stated previously if you are to go on the cobb website now u will not see an AP for the rx8 the only things there comparable with are the mazadaspeed3 and mazadaspeed6.
