Best Sounding Exhaust!!
 
I am about to purchase an exhaust system. I want to know other people's opinion
on which exhaust system sounds the most exotic.

Price is not a problem. I really want something that has an aggressive note, not a riceburner note.

Before you get flamed you should do a search. But to answer your question (which has been asked by others at least 15 times this year), I tend to like the Racing Beat exhaust, RP supercat combination. Not just because I have it, but because the tone is really nice, without being ricey loud.

Mikelikes2drive 11-12-2005 06:08 PM

i dont like the rp supercat and RB exhaust combination, but thats just me. i dont like the way the supercat makes the exhaust sound. the racingbeat is quiet but has a nice tone to it. if you want a nice loud throttley sound... borla or greddy are not so expensive alternatives.

skhmund 11-12-2005 06:15 PM

in terms of sound and i mean something that doesn't sound like fart machine or honda civic if at all possible, HKS, GREDDY, OR BORLA?

Tigster 11-12-2005 06:28 PM

I like the Greddy, it gives a nice deeper sound but has the occasional "pop" when you shift. Plus the Larger tips on the exhaust fill the holes very nicely.

skhmund 11-13-2005 09:43 AM

What do you have to say about the Borla and HKS?

slllygrl10 11-13-2005 10:17 AM

Go with the Greddy w/ rp supercat.

skhmund 11-13-2005 10:23 AM

Ive herd borla, greddy sound clips and the borla sounds more deeper, but not by a big margin, so why do u say greddy?

skhmund 11-13-2005 10:27 AM

ive mostly everything and borla and greddy are the ones that stand out to me, but this based on listening to audio clips.

skhmund 11-13-2005 10:30 AM

ive heard mostly everything*

Ive got a Borla and the sound is really gr8t......sounds bites make it really difficult to tell and compare....its a nice, deep throaty sound.....
Im very happy with it...glad I made the choice..... :ylsuper:

slllygrl10 11-13-2005 10:45 AM

I totally agree with you but I wonder how it will sound like with the RP supercat? is it gonna be louder and deeper or what?

Spin9k 11-13-2005 10:49 AM

Try a Cork Sport - nice throaty sound - beautiful too.

I dont have a clue there Sillygrl10....Ive just got the Borla......didnt want to change the cat.... :squint:

TiTaniumRX8 11-14-2005 12:01 AM

I love my borla... I also hate the "rice" sound that you get with civics and those big aluminum cans on the back. If your looking to get deep go with the borla for sure, it looks great in the back too!

tachang 11-14-2005 12:46 AM

you've got to hear RE AMEMIYA. It's the best one i've heard so far.

mikeb 11-14-2005 01:21 AM

I like the amuse and hks

canaryrx8 11-14-2005 11:51 AM

personally I think the Greddy tips are to big, they've even melted the plastic on several cars out there. You may want to look into a Hymee exhaust, very nice piece, I've heard the Borla and it's pretty decent, I'd love to hear the Magnaflow but haven't yet. If money is no object go HKS or RE AMEMIYA or maybe even JIC as they're all pretty sweet, the corksport is nice as well, almost too loud though. :)

XDEEDUBBX 11-14-2005 01:15 PM

I have the HKS Legamax exhaust with stock cat. I love the sound. No problem getting past five OH. Not as loud as greddy, but louder than racing beats. Racing beats exhaust sounds too stock for me. Heres a clip of the exhaust with hks intake. You be the judge for yourself:

epitrochoid 11-14-2005 01:41 PM

chalk another up for the HKS

it's only 2.75" and not the best for turbo, but I wont give it up for anything!

KYLiquid 11-14-2005 02:10 PM

this is really hard to awnser, as everyone hears things differently and its all going to be opinion.

anyway :

I have heard HKS, Racing Beat, Hymee, Greddy of those I like the Hymee and HKS the best! Both have a great note...of course I have only heard them from outside the car while reving, or when driving next to the car, never heard them from inside the car.

MikeKats 11-17-2005 05:36 PM

what do you think about the B&B?

AIPEX 11-17-2005 07:23 PM

I really want to hear a cork sport now....and an RE

RX8 Brunei 11-17-2005 07:48 PM

1 of the owner here in Brunei uses tanabe(titanium tip). Without replacing the cat & the 8 is AT, the exhaust sounds great & good price too. I think it's slightly better than my HKS Legamax

Roto8 11-17-2005 10:29 PM

Does anyone have a link to a soundclip of the Borla?
