Borla/B&B/SE Exhaust Opinions
 
Im looking to buy a exhaust before new years comes around so any opinions would be appreciated.
I've spent alot of time searching youtube for sound clips and ive narrowed it down to the b&b, borla, and greddy se exhausts. The sounds vary from clip to clip so they dont do much justice. Im looking for a deeper tone exhaust, havent heard either of them in person hoping i could get some good feedback from people who have.

where do you live? Maybe someone near you has one of the said exhaust and you can go check it out in person

lilring 12-26-2008 04:05 PM

I have the borla and I love it.. the sound is just like sex..

amstarvid 12-26-2008 04:23 PM

+1 for Borla - I have never been sorry I went with Borla...in fact, hearing my Borla was the reason lilring bought his!

i just put on the greddy se!!! that with the k&n intake sounds nice, it sounds deep. its not loud at all, but that could change once it breaks in a little. I think it has the best looking tips compared to anyother rx8 exhaust. get it already!!

I live north of the border, Edmonton AB. There isnt many modded rx8s atleast from what ive seen, mostly riced out civics and preludes.

There is an STI with the borla in edmonton, was chasing him in a tunnel and wow did it sound sick!

greg985 12-26-2008 05:30 PM

Ikon 12-26-2008 05:34 PM

Well i actually had it down to B&B, RB, Borla, GReddy SE for awhile but decided to cut RB. But now im tinking of replacing it with SE and having it between RB, Borla and B&B

:banghead: Decisions decisions.....

I have the borla. It is definitally the deepest and best sounding IMO, of the three. The other two are a bit louder but don't sound as good. I love the sound of my borla, makes the car just sound so much more aggressive. And, the tips look great!

ChrisM had a B&B and I liked it. It isnt the deepest, but I think it's the nicest sounding one and doesn't sound ricey

Ikon 12-26-2008 10:25 PM

so its down to borla and b&b now...
from what ive heard, and correct me if im wrong, the borla has a deeper tone to it but the b&b is slightly louder?

If only borla exhaust had 3" piping.
I would get that one in a heartbeat, sounds awesome.

Ikon 12-27-2008 03:12 AM

Looks like im gonna place my order for the borla exhaust, cant wait to hear it in person :D
Thanks for all your opinions guys

borla doesn't sound good with a catless midpipe, so don't get it unless you have no plans for catless OR you plan to go with a turbo + catless. Otherwise it drones.

The Legamax sounds great catless even NA, but it's 2.5" piping.

Good choice - you'll love it

dhan 12-27-2008 04:17 PM

Greddy SE! since it has burnt tips and sounds like the SP2 which i have =) throw in a agency power midpipe =)

Ikon 12-27-2008 07:25 PM

yep,,

it drones without the proper stuff before the cat back.. :) that drone was killing me..

other comments. the bb is just loud. i think for the most part the borla, and the racing beat are just right..

but what do i know..

if a midpipe or a resonated anything the rules change..

food for thought.

beers :beer:

+1 for Borla too. Not the cheapest to import into Australia though, not that you have to worry about that...
