So you think the greddy EvoTT is def worth the money for upgrading my rx8, it is 1150 but it also sounds better than most others out there, i think it would be a nice combo tho with the turbo kit too

The answer is purely subjective. Your just going to have to find sound clips & choose which one you like. I personally like the way my AP exhaust sounds, but its not for everyone.

I'm perfectly happy with my greddy sp2. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of these exhausts ... greddy, borla, racing beat ... unless one doesn't work with your setup. Have you seen/heard the various exhausts on u-tube? Not the best way to judge (if looks or sound) is your main concern but helpful.

There are handy stickies at the top of the various sub-forums to help newbies such as yourself. Try this one for exhaust.

BTW, welcome to the forum!

Well, surprisingly this thread is different from most other exhaust threads... I'd recommend the HKS single outlet because the single should flow better with the turbo. dual will get the job done, but the HKS sounds good and should be better in performance.

Hard to say. no one has posted a video clip, so I have no idea how it sounds. I just wanted the OP to buy one so he can post a video for me

in terms of pure sound, I like the borla over the rest. In terms of flow, I'd choose the HKS Hi-Power.

Racing Beat is good as it will prevent it from sounding too loud.

Too loud means tickets.

Loud is fine, but then it's like driving a Harley and you can not hear a damn thing around you in town.

Hearing can prevent accidents.

question to the OP... are you looking for good sound or performance? that might help narrow it down a bit more.
