Tamas....you mentioned that the stock tips stick out more on one side than the other, actually I believe that's normal, my HKS legamax right side tip sticks out more than the left. I'll have a look into this and get back.

I'm going with tips now though - I'm over loud cars

There's no reason why would this be normal - it's simply how much did they pay attention when welding the stock tips in place. The person doing mine might have had too much sake earlier during the day

Wait until you get behind the car while your driving. you can look straight up into the small diameter exhaust tube. It looks cheap on the stock 8, and with bigger tips will even look silly er.
Luckily that's only from one angle. Other than that it's a much better view and mod.

Yes but I would have a hard time NOT feeling silly paying ~650 dollars for a sound.... keep in mind I already have my "sound" and a nice addition of a few horsies thanks to my RP SuperCAT... my sound is there, all I want is some bigger exhaust tips.
While the RB unit is niec and shiny, its 10lbs heavier. I'm not forking over that much cash for more weight, some shiny metal, and no real gains.

I just got my new tips put on. I went with the fatty 4" ones. Total cost including both tips and labor was $140. I've very please with how it turned out and couldn't justify spending $600 for a new exhaust with other things I still want to get, such as a subwoofer.
Surprisingly the shop I went to had never worked on an RX8 before.
The whole job took less than an hour. If you guys are in Orange County I highly recommend ACE MUFFLER in Westminster. There was an S2000 who just had some work done and said all of his buddies go there too.
