What Exhaust Is the Best For an RX8???
 
So I am trying to find an exhaust but I can't decide. Has anyone heard the Borla does it sound Good? Or even the Greddy? If anyone has any sound clips of the different exhausts I would please like to hear them.

search. There's plenty of threads with sound clips.

I personally like the borla.

At least "Welcome to RX8Club.com" :cool:

Go as light as you can if you have the money. The catback sits behind the rear wheels , and that is bad.

I personally like the sound of the Greddy or the Magnaflow. Especially the Greddy, has a deep rumble to it. But thats just me personally :)

I'm going to buy and going to have to say the new MAZDASPEED Cat Back system, sounds great, also covered under warranty!!! :rock:

how much is the mazdaspeed including labor if the dealer does it?

Fanman 05-24-2006 04:51 PM

Depnds on what kind of sound you like. Some exhausts are deeper/louder than others. I personally loved the sound of the Racing Beat IMO. It is almost stock like at idle, but louder at WOT. Was just about perfect from me.

Why are the Mid-Pipes so $$$, is it the stainless? I hear it is the biggest bang for the buck, what do you all think?

Im a little confused by this statement, the RX8 has less than 50% weight in the rear, if anything dont you want to remove weight from the front and if adding, add it towards the rear ?

The Old model of the MS Cat back exhaust (my Avatar).. is 750.00 MSRP
The New Model of the MS Sport Cat Back Exhaust is about 645.00 MSRP, but if you go to onlinemazdaparts.com they're selling for 510.00 plus shipping

labor wise I wouldn't do it at the dealer, because no matter what you do at a dealer its going to be more expensive! but if you still want to, I'm guessing taking off the old exhaust, and installing the new one around the 100.00 range....

Not that far back, an ideal car should have 50/50 weight and all the weight should be between the front and rear axle. anything in front of the front axle, or behind the rear axel will offset the car handeling.

I have the BB catback with the stock mid-pipe. I love my exhaust and am quite happy I decided to get BB, as I almost went with Borola. Beware though, even with the stock mid-pipe, the BB is quite loud. Amazingly its not that intrusive in the cockpit so highway crusing, in sixth gear that is, is not annoying as I reguarly take long trips and a constant loud drown would drive me insane. All in all the the BB is great, and extremely loud.

All of the aftermarket ones I have heard sound like farts.
