undershot

mrtux 01-26-2004 11:03 AM

old stock

Nice photos! So what do you think of it so far?

Mine started to mellow out after a few hundred miles and I think it sounds even better than when it was new. :)

XDEEDUBBX 01-26-2004 03:26 PM

hey speedracer....is your 8 still throwing flames??

Speed Racer 01-26-2004 03:39 PM

No, it has been too cold up in the frosty North East. Between the crappy road conditions and arctic temps I haven't been able to get the exhaust hot enough to ignite the fumes.

Dookie_Rx-8 01-27-2004 11:12 PM

Where did u get your borla's? How much?

mrtux 01-28-2004 01:34 AM

brothervoodoo 01-28-2004 05:14 AM

I saw and heard MrTux's Borla last night, pretty sweet... thumb's up!

What does one do with the practically new exhaust that is removed? Sell it on Ebay or save it for a spare?

HighRev'n 01-28-2004 12:19 PM

I saw it too last night. It was pretty dark outside but I liked what I saw and heard for that matter. The new exhaust tips are big but not huge. I like the look better than the small stock tips.

Thanks for the pictures of the undercarrage. Like MazdaBob thought the exhaust can is a lot smaller than stock. Hopefully the trunk will stay cooler now.

TopBarX 01-28-2004 12:37 PM

ya i was wondering, what do you guys do with ur spare exhaust? sell or save?

Rx8Past 01-28-2004 02:06 PM

hey Mrtux, good seeing you at the meet last night. exhaust looks and sounds great man!

omahawk 01-28-2004 04:06 PM

Does anyone have any other shots of the entire underside of the car. I do not have mine yet or I would look myself.

mrtux 01-28-2004 05:47 PM

thx. here's another undershot

RX-jimenez 01-29-2004 01:34 PM

i am wondering why the borla have that crazy turn in the muffler? why the didn't go strait to it?...just asking maybe it will not make any difference..:)

310Guy 01-29-2004 03:14 PM

How is the sound inside the cabin versus outside? I've heard sound clips of the Borla but it's really hard to tell how it sounds in person.

So, any thoughts for those who have heard it?

Thanks.

mrtux 01-29-2004 03:39 PM

for me with the windows up its a low growl with music on over 15+ you barely hear it unless you purposely rev it hard or something. though however it can be quiet too if you want it too.

brothervoodoo 01-29-2004 03:44 PM

Compared side to side with stock it is definately deeper/louder when revved up at idle. The sound note is agressive and deep and not what people refer to as sounding like a "fart can". As stated, louder than stock but not obnoxious ala whistle tip!

RX8MAN04 01-29-2004 04:04 PM

hey voodoo nice ride, i got one question for you. how do you get your rx8 to come up on your post or reply like you do.it looks sweet

310Guy 01-29-2004 04:15 PM

Thanks for the info on the sound.

The Borla might be my first mod. :)
