Read the sticky posted above, you won't get much, if any HP from an exhuast system - maybe a full one with headers and all up to ~15-20 i hear?

In my opinion, I wouldn't get either - they are kinda pricey and I like the sound of a B&B or Greddy (those are my two choices I am stuck at right now) on the rx-8 without swapping out a midpipe, i would go with the common Racing Beat midpipe though as that is most ppl do on the rx-8 it seems.

You wont net much HP(1-5 hp gains dont quote me on that either), you will get a cooler sounding car though, and on that not I would go with the racing beat the turboxs is pretty loud.
read that newbie mod guide as well

I have the turbo XS its pretty quiet but I'm running cat back. I'm very pleased with except for the fact that I wasn't supplied all the bolts that I needed and the tips are no longer chrome which is the trade off with these polished stainless steel tips :/

I have a racingbeat exhaust and It's great...

With a cat it's not too loud, a bit louder than stock but not by much, has a nice deep tone at low revs and the same glorious sounds at high revs. Looks great, as long as you polish it weekly the tips stay nice.
