I know, many similar posts... but,

Santa wants to bring me new exhausts:

I'm leaning towards the Racing Beat (all stainless) or the MazdaSpeed (better engineered?)

Santa sent mine via UPS, should be at my door some time next week.

Racing Beat all the way, I have seen it in person and it is an object of perfection. Much better than the Mazdaspeed.

Yeah I know, sucks santa doesn't use Fedex / Kinko's for all his shipping needs.

Ooops, I voted Borla when I meant to vote Greddy. It is the Greddy that I have in the mail currently. Can I change my vote?

Santa brought my Mazdaspeed Cat-Back Exhaust early. There have been a lot of comments ranging from no difference at idle or speed in sound. I find a nice low rumble at idle to plenty of sound at higher revs as indicated in the Mazdatrix sound bite. It too is all stainless steel, not polished, and tuned to the motor for freer breathing.

Rosenthal's price is $630.00 but with UPS ground to Oregon at another $60.00 I bought through my dealer for $709.00. I figured for $19.00 I could stay loyal to my dealer.

I like the look of the auto bahn, but know nothing else about it.

Then I'd go with borla or greddy. Probably greddy over borla.

Racing Beat is class - but I wish they would quit putting Anaheim, CA. on everything they make. They should develop a logo and use that instead. I have the RB by the way...

Santa brought my new exhaust Monday courtesy of Mazdatrix and DHL, had it put on yesterday, have done about 150 miles since. I think it sounds the way our cars should, and doesn't have that raspy sound you get with the coffee can Civic exhausts.
It sounds perfect when you 1st step on the gas and take off. I was torn between it and the GReddy, but chose the RB because I liked the tips and tone better.
I'm happy so far, the tips really fill out the back of the car.

Fortunately, Santa already delivered the Greddy, he was wearing a brown outfit instead of the red suit!

I ended up buying the Racing Beat split exhaust. I'm hoping to get it before New Year's, but they seem to be having some backorder problems.
