NYCGPS, if you get that exhaust can you send it to me so I can try it out and make sure it work before you put it on your car?

Well I didn't want to spit RB's numbers but they claim 34% lighter over the stock system, but I don't know how true that is or how much it applies to vs the MS version.
I was just curious really. I like the design and I like the sound and I do autocross so the RB Racing is perfect for me.

Ear of the beholder item.
Mazdaspeed is higher pitched and a bit "ricey." They've had some weld reliability issues.
Racing Beat is a deeper richer tone with excellent craftsmanship.
Borla is also lower fuller bass tone and excellent quality, but I don't like their pipe routing.
RB for me, but again ear of the beholder.

The problem only applies to the dual canister version. Which is a us only version.
The single cnaister version aka mazdaspeed japan version never had any issues. But that one wil! Give u a very deep sound and thats about it. As for weight savings. Doubt there is any.

Sounds like RB gets lots of props here, which I respect. I'm a little concerned about warranty though and decided to go with the MS instead.
With respect to the MS exhausts, it's important to note that there are two totally different systems available. One is a single muffler system, which apparently doesn't sound very different from stock. Some people buy this and are disappointed with the sounds (check out YouTube clips on this). The other is a dual canister system which is very aggressive sounding. I just test drove an R3 with the MS intake and MS dual canister exhaust system yesterday and it sounds very race-like. It has an aggressive sound without that cheap fart-can sound.
Based on that, I just ordered the MS dual canister exhaust. Unfortunately, they're very hard to find and cost me $1200 here in Canada.

Based on other threads that I've read here, there appears to be a more than 20lb difference between the MS and RB system. MS is 26 lbs and RB is 47 lbs. I'm going from memory here so both numbers may be off by 1 or 2 lbs.
