no kidding, his videos are great!

i was skeptical at first about the single exhaust look... but that sound just overrides the look and made my decision to spend my hard earned tax return on this lol

for an 8 exhaust, that does sound pretty nice. On one of the alternate videos for it, while it was parked, it sounded a hair tinsy. However, when it's movin, it sure did sound a lot more mean!

thanks for the comments. I love this exhaust seriosuly! Its an addictive thing. I dont drive the car very often but sometimes i'll pull it out the garage and take it for a quick 15 minute drive on the freeway just to hear the exhaust..hahaha almost like sex. I've heard almost every exhaust out there for the rx8 in person and to be quite honest (putting my biasness aside he he) it;s probably the best sounding exhaust offered for the rx8, not to mention its low price, and titanium tip! And it weighing in at 23 lbs is a plus. I highly reccomend this exhaust to anyone!

no drone on the hwy. Its only loud when u want it to be loud. If you keep the rpm's low during street driving then its not that loud. At idle there is a noticeable difference but nothing even close to being obnoxiously loud. BTW, I do not have a hi flo cat, thats the stock cat.

it was taped in my garage so the sound was much more amplified.

Here are some pics of it:

And here I thought I was the only one with a "Baby on Board" thingy (wife's idea).

Not sure if I like the single exhaust look, sound good though.
