I need help guys.. i saved enough for exhaust and i want to make sure im getting the right one.. i want one with a nice look, great HPgain, and an awesome tone!! So far i have my eye on the Greddy, B&B, and HKS!! Anyone wanna give me there opinion one these exhause or one of there own. THX :cwm27:

none will give you "great HPgain" but the HKS one sounds best and has clean polished tips.

great HPgain
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

+1 HKS exhaust are great, im not sure about the rx8 version but they usually have those 2 blue rings at the tip, they look and sound awsome

Come on Playdoh you know what i mean.. im pretty sure all the will give me somewat HPgain.

if you consider 2HP somewat gain, then yeah. for the ones i've heard i like the Mazdaspeed, racingbeat and borla. just to throw 3 new ones in the mix.

Got the MS dual this week... sounds very nice (like it should've been stock IMHO) and the tips are good-looking with mazdaspeed logos etched in.

But I haven't heard any of the others so I can't really tell... my 2 cents

Well go to another thread or stop using this one if your sick of answering questions like these or giving your opinions on topics like these. This is somewhat what the thread is for.

Don't answer the question. It's not your given duty.

I know I know "SEARCH". That''s what everyone says.

Some guy who is excited about his RX8 and buying a new exhaust isn't thinking about searching for the lame answer someone else got. He wants his own answer. He wants people to make recommendations for him. Can you not do that?

Exactly. I knew you were thinking "Actually, no I can't"

And they I say "Well, why the fuck did you reply?".

People like you ruin the internet.

You guys are provoking a grin up here... :evil_laug

MS and RB are two of the nicer mild tone ones. The HKS and Gready are a little more open in tone

I said this over and over.

I help whenever I can but under one condition. I'll help only if the person has shown me that he already did his homework. not come up with oh which one should I get theres RB, Greddy, whatever.

and please, just wait 2 years, then u come back and see if u're feeling the same.

Look, here is my HELP :

I need help guys.. i saved enough for exhaust and i want to make sure im getting the right one..

There is no *one size fits all*

i want one with a nice look, great HPgain, and an awesome tone!!

What the hell ? All of them looks nice. So are you going to get them all ?
Need a picture? Search this forum.
Need the sound clip? Search Youtube.

and make your own decision, you're old enough to drive, you should be able to make your own decision. right ?

So far i have my eye on the Greddy, B&B, and HKS!!

If you have the cash, get it all, change it every 3 months.
Or else, do what I said above.

Anyone wanna give me there opinion one these exhause or one of there own. THX :cwm27:

Again, Each of their own. Make up your mind. Its YOUR car so make your OWN choice alright ?

Who's the lazy one, the guy that can't form a freaking sentence and butchers the english language, or the guy that starts a thread about an aftermarket exhaust on a car forum?

LOL this thread cracks me up!

I thought the internet was made to communicate and share opinions and thoughts to one another.

This thread is very valid. He just wants LIVE feedback. I've searched and came up with things from 2004, and a lot of things have changed since then. For example, 2004 there were not many aftermarket exhausts out there, so people recommended the same old stuff, ask that same question today and you'll get a plethora of choices and replies.

so what's wrong with asking this question?



Anyways, I am currently looking at the HKS, but from what i've seen it is only a SINGLE outlet and not a Dual like other aftermarkets.



The MS and borla sounds great, the Greddy SP sounds *different* IMO I like the deep, throaty exhaust note. so HKS might be the one...

Wow, shit hit the fan. I feel the original poster though, he finally saved up enough and just wanted to share his enthusiasm with other enthusiasts. I have a Rev8 on my car and personally like it a lot. It has a nice tone under WOT and doesn't scream," here I am pull me over" Don't expect "substantial Hp gain from any exhaust, especially one for an engine displacing only 1.3. that's wishful thinking on your part and advertising BS for manufacturers. Just my 2 cents and good luck on your next post dude. Oh yeah I almost forgot, go ahead and post pix of your exhaust when you get it with a nice sound clip.

WOW.. i feel like my whole post got off topic. The only people that actually gave good feed back would be the last 2, Crazy Rx-8 Driver and Ever Hernandez. thanks! but seriously guys i know im old enough, but i just want some feedback.. maybe if u have some personal experience or just did some research b4 you got your own exhause.. but thanks guys

Anyways, I am currently looking at the HKS, but from what i've seen it is only a SINGLE outlet and not a Dual like other aftermarkets.





HKS has a dual outlet one, i believe its called legamax

So it won't give much in the way of hp, but does it do anything for fuel efficiency???

This is the HKS LEGAMAX (dual outlet),, LINK (http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=1996&rsku=5780)


This is the HKS HI-POWER (single outlet),,,LINK (http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=715&rsku=6281)

I personally have and love the MAZDASPEED TWIN SPORT
LINK (http://www.finishlineperformance.com/cgi-bin/shopper?preadd=action&key=RX08MS1025)

So it won't give much in the way of hp, but does it do anything for fuel efficiency???

Nope, you're paying for sound and looks and little else.

So it won't give much in the way of hp, but does it do anything for fuel efficiency???
I doubt it. I wouldn't expect substantial improvement with just and exhaust mod. IMO other aspects of the car would have to be addressed :)

I have the HKS Legamax exhuast and I truly love it!!!!! It looks extremely nice and is very well made. The welds are like a perfect set of a roll of coins. Oh yeah, and it sounds real nice too. :ylsuper:

Terminology: Internet vs. Web

The Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others described below.

The best way to define and distinguish between these terms is with reference to the Internet protocol suite. This collection of standards and protocols is organized into layers such that each layer provides the foundation and the services required by the layer above. In this conception, the term Internet refers to computers and networks that communicate using IP (Internet protocol) and TCP (transfer control protocol). Once this networking structure is established, then other protocols can run “on top.” These other protocols are sometimes called services or applications. Hypertext transfer protocol, or HTTP, is the application layer protocol that links and provides access to the files, documents and other resources of the World Wide Web.

Creation of the Internet

For more details on this topic, see History of the Internet.

The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution.

In 1950, Licklider moved from the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory at Harvard University to MIT where he served on a committee that established MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He worked on the SAGE project. In 1957 he became a Vice President at BBN, where he bought the first production PDP-1 computer and conducted the first public demonstration of time-sharing.

Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching (as opposed to Circuit switching) to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. Following on from this, the British Post Office, Western Union International and Tymnet collaborated to create the first international packet switched network, referred to as the International Packet Switched Service (IPSS), in 1978. This network grew from Europe and the US to cover Canada, Hong Kong and Australia by 1981.

The first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by 1 January 1983, when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. (This date is held by some to be technically that of the birth of the Internet.) It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1985. Important, separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged with, the NSFNet include Usenet, BITNET and the various commercial and educational X.25 Compuserve and JANET. Telenet (later called Sprintnet), was a large privately-funded national computer network with free dialup access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation since the 1970s. This network eventually merged with the others in the 1990s as the TCP/IP protocol became increasingly popular. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks, especially the international X.25 IPSS network, allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of the term "Internet" to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.

The network gained a public face in the 1990s. On August 6, 1991 CERN, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few Web pages at CERN.

An early popular Web browser was ViolaWWW based upon HyperCard. It was eventually replaced in popularity by the Mosaic Web Browser. In 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign released version 1.0 of Mosaic and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was coming into common daily usage, frequently misused to refer to the World Wide Web.

Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.

greddy is not bad, for that price, you cant beat it!
HKS one is really nice too, has titanium tip, but itz more expensive!\
or the RE Amemiya one is really really nice, if you have the money!

LOL I got WTF PWNED by Dark Brew!

taking things way out of context are we? you knew what i meant, yet you corrected me...

HKS if i have the money..

mm.... why changing exhaust wont ++ hp ?

i can understand if you change only "cat back" it doesnt + any hp

but what about full exhaust ? like , DP, high flow cat and cat back ?

isnt it smoother , and give less "back presure " would + hp in some way ?

or it only some how happen on turbo car? sorry for another noob qustion

i'm looking for an coldair intake or exhaust new or use anyone
selling??


OH also anyone from the West Phoenix area?
that has RX8 meetings?

what do you guys think about the turbo xs with racepipe???

what do you guys think about the turbo xs with racepipe???


way to loud. and it usually comes with the racepipe.

beers :beer:

Anyone please correct me if I am wrong here:

Answer to your question -

The stock exhaust is already 2 3/4" and the aftermarkets only go to 3". Cause of that, even if you put on a high flow cat you are still restricted at the header.

Not even the high flow cat and aftermarket exhaust will give you substantial gains maybe 10 - 12 max at the wheels. The biggest reason for this is Mazda engineering did a great job on intake and exhaust flow.

There was an article in Sport Compact Car a while back... I posted it (search for threads I was involved in) Racing Beat did a real dyno test with there exhaust and they did not net very much in the way of gains.

WHat people are posting is correct. With a N/A (naturally aspirated) car it's tough to make substantial HP gains without investing some serious ching.

If you are looking to spend some money then you might as well go Forced Induction (turbo or super charger) with an engine management system.



Also to throw another exhaust out there... try a Tanabe Super Medallion. Great price and beautifully made exhaust with a low throaty tone.

I would be concerned about weight if anything. HP gains are next to nothing. Sound is obviously different but hard to gauge unless you're hearing it in person. Plenty of clips floating around if you want to try....
