Seen 'em all, heard 'em all, liked the tone of the Borla - not as popular as it deserves due to lack of 'JDM' cred......

+3 for Borla!

Had a Borla Stinger on a Vette and immediately put one on my RX8. No regrets

nerve: nicely done! (what kinnda snake?)

I have RB; nice mellow tone comes to life at WOT. Add an RP supercat to that thing and you're SET.

I love my Borla, but still won't wear the hat it came with.

It's pretty subjective - find some 8's in your area and give them a listen - or just cull the comments of others and dive in...

Im not a n00b, so I can tell the OP to ....

SEARCH!

I dont have ANY of them. Im stock, soon will change. I heard lots of sound clips, Mazdaspeed or Racing Beat sounds ok, not too loud. I like HKS more but, its CRAZY loud and Im not sure if I will get a ticket every 2 blocks (cuz NYPD are like robbers now, local government needs money, quick, thx Michael Bloomberg)

Whose job is it to CONVINCE you?

You asked which was 'best' - when your ***** finally drop, you can form your OWN opinion!
