Hi All:

Sooo many exhausts.

Can anyone point me in the right direction towards the higher quality stuff that:

a. provides as much weight reduction over stock as possible while
b. as much HP increase as possible and
c. as little sound as possible

I know c and b are competing items but the best should be able to deliver the largest "HP gain to sound gain(if any)" ratio. Staying with classy... avoiding Ghetto is my goal.

PS: I love the high revs of the rotary, if a muffler out there allows more HP while letting some high pitch "scream" or jet engine like whirr (as opposed to meatier sounds) I probably would really like it. Im thinking of my friends' Kawasaki zx-6rr sportbike which redlines at 16k or so...

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!

the new Mazdaspeed dual muffler design is a nice option...it is much lighter than stock and provides a great sound under cruise, and aggressive sound at WOT.

I have Racing Beat, the sound is subtle, well matched to the engine...but it is heavier than stock. I've been contemplating a switch to the new Madzaspeed exhaust.

It has been stated on this thread, as well as other places, that the Mazdaspeed design is not unique, it is actually a copy of several other exhausts that were available initially when the first batch of aftermarket exhausts came out.

Go check out the racing beat website. They have a good read on all the analysis they've done on the exhaust system. There is not much to be had with just a cat back exahaust.

Search for racing beat rx8, and one should pop up. It is dark outside with snow on the ground. Someone is showing off their flames.

Hi everyone. I am currently deciding between two exhaust systems. They are the Autoexe Sport Muffler and the Corksport exhaust system.

Is the Autoexe a catback system?

Which one have you heard the most positive feedback about?

Also, could someone possibly find me a website that sells the Autoexe for less than $900 that is not a replica.

Thanks. Any info would be appreciated.

I am also curious about the rx8 HKS legamax (spelling?) exhaust, the dual exhaust one, it's kinda a toss up, i hear exhaust isn't a huge deal on the rx8 (i guess rotary changes the rules about some things) but i've also heard some exhaust like the srmotorsports exhaust has problems if you add a turbo to your car. So any info on primarily the HKS, Tanabe, or MazdaSpeed Exhaust would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

The legamax is a very nice sounding exhaust. It's quieter than the borla, but that's not to say that it is quiet. The borla is deper sounding however.
