I really want an exhaust for my rx8..i was thinking maybe a borla? what does everyone think?

really really loud.

beers :beer:

i dont like how borla sounds , doesnt have a racey sound to it imo.

o_O I wonder just how many exhausts threads there are...

I just installed a Racing Beat Rev8.
Pretty quiet IMO. Different sound from stock with more low frequency at low RPM and a bit more sound overall at top end. No interior drone at Hyw speed but you can sure hear it during acceleration. I wouldn't want louder.

get the one everyone said to when they answerd this question in a previous post, or the one before that, or the one before that, or the one before that. . . . . .



search the catbacks, look at there specs, listen to there soundclips. then get one you like. dont just get one because of other people saying theres is great, find the one you think is great.

I have the mazdaspeed dualcanister and its light and has a real aggressive roar to it.
since i have it you know its the best one out there. i dont fuck around. period.

borla is one of the most popular ones out there.

rather than just considering exhaust note, also look for piping diameters.

Consult the options

i'm looking for an exhaust that sounds the meanest/loudest w/e

just take off your exhaust, it'll sound like a Mustang Cobra.


..................................or, you could try using the search button.

Borla catback with any downpipe...i have the rp supercat...sounds meannnnn :)

stepped tubular straight headers. No cat, no muffler/resonator. That will make you deaf.

Or the Esplire exhaust with no cat is amazing loud. A friend of mine has it.

while you drive, scream out the window.

scream loud......


na, you can just takeoff the cat and muffler. hook up a small pipe to were the cat was and have it run out right under the front of the drivers side door. you may burn some paint off, but it would be so cool.
you would be cool.

so overall, which ones are the best? no to borla?

yea, you should search. as swoop said good for what? you dont get jack except noise. do you like your noise loud or loud? theres enough info on this forum about catbacks, so you should know the answer.

MS ftw

Borla if you want to spend $120 more

HKS if you want to spend $200ish more

wow thanks for the flamming i'd also like to pass inspection so removing the exhaust wouldnt' work there now would it

why dont you search

you can listen to all the catbacks sound clips, just SEARCH

dude that whistler is TIGHT!!!!

most of the people who will try to truthfully reply won't have a clue ...

teh fart canz/.....................

HKS Hi Power with a midpipe, fucking hurts.

oh this is easy. turbo xs with their test pipe. WIN.

I'm sticking with straight pipe

I was wrong...the only reason i said borla with rp is cause thats my setup...SE3PSynergy is def right...the turboxs is louddddddddddddddd

I just hook up the exhaust to my AC. Now THAT is loud.

I can't see how you can go wrong with the Borla exhaust from what I've read about it. Its 10 pounds lighter than stock, claims to make 10HP extra, and many say it sounds very good. Of all the stainless steel exhausts, this one seems to constantly get good comments.

The only thing that ever bothered me about the Borla exhaust was how the pipe entered the muffler. Instead of going more directly into the muffler, it curves around and appears to enter from the side. But, I don't know how much of a difference this would or would not make for flow. Borla of course claims it flows well.

ms dual with high flow cat. Thank You . Good Bye

o_O I wonder just how many exhausts threads there are...

even worse, the amount of clueless replies ... :icon_no2:

Since I own one, the only problem really with that design is that when the exhaust exits, one exhaust tip is in the direct path, the other needs to change direction. As a result, the right tip (when looking at the rear of the car) gets dirty a bit faster. Also if there are light amount of flames, you have a better chance of it coming out the right than the left.

Since we only need so many threads that ask "what exhaust should I get", I'm merging any threads that ask this.

It's an opinion! Get what YOU want!

I really want an exhaust for my rx8..i was thinking maybe a borla? what does everyone think?

There are too many exahust questions on rx8club. It's really opinion, nothing else.

Just go on to youtube search for the exaust and listen to it; or meet up with some rx8 guys in your area.
and listen to it.
If you like, get it.
If not, don't.

to be honest, i think we all overthinking the OP...

i think by meanest he prolly means the most badass and fear-yielding...

that by definition would be the lowest growl...

last time i checked the borla was the lowest growl of them all, the only one im yet to confirm against it is the turboxs...

but of the main ones, ive heard the borla is the lowest growl so that should be ur answer
