What is the best aftermarket exhaust out there for the RX8?
Hey ya'll; just wondering what is the best aftermarket exhaust out there for the RX8 that puts out the most horsepower/torque on the RX8? If you could, provide text that shows the results please...Thanks!

He's as bad as Can
NO aftermarket exhaust gives big HP increases. The OEM system power wise is very well designed. People buy aftermarket exhausts for looks & sound. So the answer to your question is it’s a matter of personal preference. I choose the Greddy SP2 for its combination of good price, looks & sound.

I beg to differ about completely looks and sound. My HKS Legamax added a significant increase in airflow, perhaps pickup to my 6MT, plus the center consol is cooler now....and it sounds great

I just ordered a Racing Beat catback. Hopefully I'll get it this week, installed, and run through a tunnel (oh, that sound!!!) I'll let ya know how it turns out if you're interested....

Hi all , I'm thinking of buying an exhaust for my 8. I'm looking for one with a deep tone that is not too loud. Does anyone have any audio of some aftermarket exhaust? I know due to variations of speaker systems ect. that that the true sound will be somewhat different , but maybe at least I could get some idea. Thanks

In talking with him at one of the RX club meets, he said in testing at HKS with the exhaust & intake it netted about a 5-6 hp increase with both. That is about what you can expect from improvements like this (maybe a few more hp too with the ram air duct now). HKS has a great product, but the stock unit has already been very well made. The notion of a 10-12 hp gain from an exhaust is a "pipedream" for this car.

JIC is kinda expensive but they have a 3 inch exhaust for those turbo 8's.... and hopefully I dont get in trouble for releasing info but HKS is about to release one pretty soon.
If its already posted somewhere... sorry

But the greddy is nice for stock looks really good and sounds nice.
