Hey Guys,

So I have been going back and forth on this decision and thought I would get some opinions. I want to get a catback exhaust for my 8 and I have been looking at B&B and Racing beat. I have heard good things about both but I'm not sure which I should get.

Opinions???

P.S. I searched for other threads for this topic and couldn't find so sorry if its a repeat post.

 

your going to get flamed. it's a personal choice. neither have any difference in performance. go on youtube. decided which you like the sound of more.

 

if its catback only, hit up youtube and start listening to sound clips.

 

racing beat is quite

 

Did you check the sticky at the top of this forum?

please see youtube.


however it seems the most popular ones are, borla, racing beat, hks hi power, and greddy

 

Out of those 2 choices i would go with racing beat, plus i have the racing beat exhaust. B&B is way too loud for me.

 

Here is a clip of my Greddy SP2 with stock cat.. I bought it used for $300.

I don't know, B&B is quite expensive for a Cat back if you ask me.

I would go with the Racing Beat if you were dead set on either of those two.

We have more of a selection of exhausts which you can find HERE

You will find different combination's will yield better sound results if that is what you are after.

For example one of the most interesting combination's was a Borla Cat-back and Agency Power Mid-pipe, most have complained it being too loud but when you hear the two together it sounds amazing.

 

I have the OBX I realy like it and after 2 yeears (almost) still sounds great and in great shape..and a good price!

 

best catback would be stock tone, with increased volume.

I've heard the Racing Beat is quiet, but heavy.
The HKS seems like a love-it or hate-it sound, but it is lighter than most catbacks unless they're made from titanium, which can get expensive.
Agency Power seems like the best deal considering you can get a catback AND midpipe for less than what some companies sell their catback for. And I love the tips.
From video clips I've heard the Borla sounds the best as far as naturally aspirated goes. Very deep and not too loud.

But yeah pretty much every catback yields the same horsepower gains. I'm sure the Borla exhaust doesn't give any more horsepower than the HKS. So keep in mind that you're pretty much only paying for sound. If you're buying a catback because you're looking for more horsepower I wouldn't buy one at all. Shop for a midpipe instead.

 

One of the Rx8's hidden secrets in exhaust is BlueFlame Performance. Its a exhaust company based in the UK. The sound is very rich and wot is loud but not obtrusive or ricey. There's no order form however you need to contact the company itself and they ask you what types of tips you want, style etc... Overall price is roughly the same as Borla or Racing Beat and its a bit more unique. just another option for thought even tho I did'nt help you decide at all lol.
