Wonder if it would look weird in the back...sounds like a cool idea.

I remember reading on 'Hymee's' writeup that they were considering quad exhaust but the pipes would've been too small. It could possibly make the entire rear look a bit cluttered. hmm, just a thought.

I did some photo-shopping a while ago to see what it might look like. In the end we didn't go with it. See for yourself:

If i remember correctly there is actually a company that makes quad exhaust for the 8...someone posted it a while ago and it was on a black 8 i think.Might want to search.

It actually looks pretty good. :) As someone said in that particular thread, the melting plastic would definitely be an issue.

i have a picture of an RX-8 with quad exhaust in a magazine i bought in Japan... i dont have a scanner but ill bring it to the next Socal rx8 meet in tustin if anyone wants to see it

That would be the AU-TO Bahn Strasse kit. It has quad mufflers and looks quite sharp. I doubt it'll fit a stock rearend though... you'll need the bodykit rearend to make it work, but it's damn sharp. However... the mufflers run like $1,200... a little more than standard JDM price ($800-1,000).

Rotary Run Racing also makes a set that will fit the stock rearend and looks similar to those photochop pics. It runs 42,000 JPY ($400). I dunno if I like the look myself...

You could prolly do somethin pretty whack w/it tho. Run 2 pipes out the back and run 2 flat pipes under the sides like a mustang kit. but then you'd be kinda gay cause well.. i hate mustangs.

All the headers are 3 (exhaust ports) into 1 (pipe down to mufflers). Wouldn't we need a triple exhaust? Quad wouldn't help that much if we are running 3 into 1. Quad tips might look cool, but I don't think it will book more power.

Power wasn't the point roberdot. It was looks and sound.

Whatever makes you guys happy. Spending money on extra sound doesn't float my boat.

But I assumed since this was in the Aftermarket and PERFORMANCE forum, you might be interested in performance instead of "Exterior Appearance and Body Kits."

My bad for making assumptions :P

If that was entirely so then there should no posts on Borla, RB, B&B, etc. exhausts. There should be no posts on the K&N or RE intakes. None of them make any *real* difference in perfomance... 5-10hp at best... if even that much.

No one was picking on you roberdot... just stated the facts of the discussion in a direct manner.

Leg motor sport or someone has made a quad exhaust... it looks so weird..

I have it somewhere in the RX-8 Hyperrev

here

Thanks dude i am too lazy to get the scanner out.

It said sus304 and Titanium made... they mention is a high pitch sound - it means in Japan it is in par of most titanium, or HKS, or close to Hymee's (for the Ozzies)... NICE

I think the quad exhuast would look better if they tips were closer together, like the Corvette muffler.

I think something like thiss looks a little better, kind of like the porsche turbos

The Leg Motorsports one isn't *really* quad exhaust.
1. it has a huge single can like the stock muffler
2. only 2 of the 4 pipes are working until about 4500rpm when an actuator opens and the other 2 pipes come "on-line." The purpose is for sound control with performance increase.

This is not a bad idea... not bad looking at all... IMHO.

three exhuast ports=three exhaust tips. just put the third tip coming outta the rotor accent!!! :eek:

Thanks for that... that sounds very much like variable valving in most muffler that comes with a control.
