Too quiet? Is she mad? Having the stock exhaust, it seems to get louder as you clock up k's ... at 70000 I'm getting an annoying drone at about 4000rpm.

Could your exhaust resonator be on its way out , thus getting louder ?

Do the exhaust - it's a feel good mod. Many of us have been happy with the Hymee but there's other options.

Congrats and welcome to the club proper, lol.

She's been spoilt. She remembers the exhaust sound on the RX7 and WRX I used to have. I agree with her that it's a little too quiet...especially when the revs are a little low (and yes I know the solution is to rev it harder!! )

I am incredibly lucky that she is pro mods (amongst other things)...makes things a whole lot easier to justify making the RX-8 just that little bit better!

Thanks guys for your comments!

Cheers
