What type/brand of exhaust are you looking for? Unless you go custom, I think the prices you find online are pretty accurate.

Hey Brandon - I'm in Monroe, but don't know of anyone in the Shreveport area to recommend to you. I haven't ventured into the exhaust arena just yet. If I hear of someone, I'll be happy to post the info though.

That's about as cheap as it gets, unless you do custom. You can get the Greddy Shipped to you for a little less than 600 at horsepowerfreaks.com

Well you can just go to a reputable muffler shop and just tell them what you want and they will hook you up.

Did you want to get in on the Austin trip?

check out the sticky on mufflers in the performance section. they have sound clips and pics of most of the major brands making exhaust systems for the rx8 there. also lots of member input.

I thought about it, but Gotham already ordered me one. But definitely a good find for Brandon and anyone else looking to get Greddy.

lol, no, I told him how much I could get it for and he beat it, I think $525 or so is what he said last week. He knows he needs to give me a good deal because I can always find better online.

Thanks. :D I'm pretty sure they know I mean business. I'm really nice to them (or course), but I know enough car lingo that I can throw some words and phrases out there so it seems like I know what I'm talking about and I will know if they don't do something right, and all those years in customer service taught me what to say so that I get what I want. :D Yes, Dazy can play hardball.

Rims/Tires or Body Kit for looks.

CanZoomer or Midpipe for performance.
