He's right, if you do absolutely nothing to maintain or service your car for 60,000 miles, it will fall apart.

wrong, it needs to be maintained like any other car. Their coils probably went, and made a bigger deal out of it than need be. Read this.

I would search on youtube for rx8 exhaust, that way you will get a general idea of what they sound like and choose the one you like best. If you don't want anything stupid loud, check out racing beat. Have fun!

+1 to the youtube videos you will get a wide range of tones and what not and that way you can cross out the ones that are not to your liking.

Oh and welcome to the club!

I personally like the complete Agency Power exhaust system, but it all depends on what your taste is.

Hope this helps!

Well, look at Borla, but it is mighty expensive. RB is a nice aggressive (but not fartcan loud) and is pretty cheap compared to others.

i actually like the way the stock exhaust sounds... i just wish the tips were bigger and filled out the exhaust shrouds more. :\

welcome to the club by the way and congrats on the 8...
