i need to replace my catalytic converters do to some heating problems and figured i would just replace the whole kit and caboodle(catback exhaust preferred)..but i want the best sounding exaust for my rx8 as anyone else does..the basis of exhaust at which im looking for must be a deep tone and not so loud(ive heard some pretty loud rx8's and do not wish to attract but so much attention from a distance)
any willing to post some sound videos for me to choose? ive done research myself just wanting to see if i could find anything else to make my final decision

 

i don't have a ton of experience and i'm old. i like the OE style Mazdaspeed muffler, QSEA-40-100A, its what the car should have had stock. its about the same volume as the stock but its got a nice little rotary note. of course its also pricey

the other Mazdaspeed either didn't sound as good, or was louder, i can't recall.

the RB is too bassy for me.

my car has an Agency on it, and it does sound nice, but its too loud for me. i looked at a few youtube clips and they don't convey how loud it is.

again this is IMO

 

ive come to a conclusion that every exhaust for this car sounds very similar. Every exhaust ive heard in person sound similar just different loudness. For me i wanted something pretty loud and went with exoticspeed and im absolutely satisfied to this day even when i turn the car on and listen to it idle.

 

why don't you check out youtube. Videos are already posted there.

I think you should stay stock. It won't require us to do any work for you.

 

i have looked on youtube..just didnt know if anyone had an exhaust that would change my opinion on what i wanted to buy.. i found this video so far that has caught my attentionhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmpKZLmrN5g

I'm running RB REV8 and a mid pipe with just a Davesport 100 CPI cat.

Louder and deeper than stock but does not attract attention and doesn't even smell too bad

 

i love my AP exhaust personally

 

I don't have an exhaust on my car, but I used to have a GReddy exhaust tip on my 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. I like the deep tone sound when you change gears.

 

all good sounds. just love to have a deep sound but not so loud. people seem to point to greddy exhaust alot..thanks alot

 

Fujitsubo Legalis R

 

This one gives me a chubby every time I hear it:


Good luck finding this pair. I don't think they being produced any longer.

 

Any feedback on the durability of the Davesport cat?

 

I like Racing Beat. It sounds nice, even with the Agency Power midpipe.

 

O yay another opinion thread.

OP, everyone is going to say the exhaust they bought....

While I'm here, i'm partial to my Mazdaspeed Dual Canister exhaust.

 

I can't complain... I'm NA and don't race. Love the sound. I'll pull it soon and take pics

Should get an e-test done soon

 

Much appreciated.

 

i loove my AP best sounding exhaust on our car. my friend knew i was searching for a deep sounding one that didnt sound tin-y for my 8 and he called me from VA to tell me he just heard an 8 with an AP and thats the exahust i needed. sure enough i youtubed it and had to have one myself.

 

sorry for the bad audio dropping out
