Exhaust Help
I just bought an '04 GT and I've got my exhaust choices narrowed down to the mazdaspeed or borla based on sound and brand confidence. I just need to know about that damned popping that was in the videos for both of 'em. The guy that posted the borla video said that it stopped after about 100 miles but I've never really heard of a "break-in period" for an exhaust. Is this true? Also, high-flow cat and/or headers necessary this early in tuning? Aside from a mazdaspeed intake its bone stock.

No exhaust will give you tangible benefits. Get a high flow cat or a straight pipe if your laws admit that.
All in all you have to read a lot in here for the headers won't give good gains too.
I have the mazdaspeed exhaust btw

I zoom therefore I am.

Since this isn't a "what sounds better thread" since there are 10000 of those already. And there's only a few thousand people who have posted about their impressions of both exhausts... this thread seems to be about your inability to make a decision. So grow a pair and pick one.

The "damned popping" is a small backfire that occurs when unburned fuel gets into the exhaust and ignites. All of the exhausts have a backfire with the rx8 by design, you just hear it more in a louder exhaust than stock.
