*NEW- FIRST MOD EXHAUST QUESTION- Advise Wanted

Okay, new to the club and I am starting mods on my Rx8. Looking at exhaust right and not sure which to go with. Looking between Greddy SE, Exoticspeed (R1 or S1) or Agency Power's Exhaust. Just looking for a clean look and deep sound. What to go with? -lol. Thanks!

Advise is spelled Advice, but n e ways, you can get BORLA, HKS, RACING BEAT, RE AMEMIYA, TANABE, GREDDY, I say HKS or Racing Beat.

first advice i'd give is start looking at the sticky threads. for instance, your question can be answered by the sticky thread here:

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/rx-8-aftermarket-exhausts-summary-16442/

and for anything further you can search for the particular one you are interested in and find more video clips.

I'm very pleased with my BlueFlame exhaust: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/so-i-my-blueflame-exhaust-system-171195/

I know the sound clip suck, but it's really nice. Very little to no drone at cruising speeds (70-80mph!)... you can actually have a conversation in car without yelling. I can try to get some updated sound clips, but it's hard to do in my neighborhood with the HOA looking peeking around every corner and hiding in bushes..

Here are some drive-bys from YouTube:

If you get the Turbo-xs system do you have to get the race pipe? I have heard the catback doesn't actually fit the stock cat.

If you want a clean and deep sound, go with the Borla...

when i bought mine the race pipe was out of stock, so i drove around with just the catback for a month.

it hooks up just fine to the stock cat.
