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.

+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 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

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.

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

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