Which exhaust is least loud when pair with midpipe? Racing beats or RX8Store exhaust?

Any of you ever hear Racing Beat and RX8store exhaust with midpipe in person? I planed to mate up with midpipe for my car but I don't know which one to choose. I only hear racing beats in person once but the guy got turbo in his car so it is pretty quiet. I never heard RX8store exhaust except in one or two video. I want the one that least loud when mate up with midpipe.

Right now my sense tell me to get racing beats. It has really nice quality and sound nice and probably the least loud exhaust out there. RX8store, on the other hand, sound nice according to most people that have them but the one I ordered has ugly welds on it. Blob here and blob there and they also send me the wrong C-pipe, the flange on it is too large and won't fit the flange on my midpipe (RX8store brand with resonator) . The box they shipped also have holes in them. Quality is well below my expectation.

My plan is to get an exhaust with nice sound when paired with a midpipe and sound should not be too loud or have any drone on highway. Anyone with these combination please give me some of your opinion. I saw many video on racing beats but only one has midpipe and the ower was reving the car instead of driving. Can't tell much from that. I only see two RX8store video and they are both low quality video. Thanks.

I have a resonated/catless midpipe with the rx8store catback. The RB from everything I've read is much quieter.

Hey dDub, how loud is your set up? Do you get into trouble with cop at all? How good is the sound of the exhaust with midpipe? As long as it is not louder than my corksport with midpipe set up, that will do for me. Mine is probably over 105 dB when I really get on it. I can hear my car 3-4 blocks away when my friend drove my car. Yours is not that loud is it? I wrote you a private mail so you might want to check your inbox.

I had jic with a B&B midpipe when i was NA... fyi the car is unbearable loud, it sounds like a weedwacker and IMO there is no rpm where the car actually makes a decent sounding noise. thats just my .02

when i went turbo i kept the Jic Catback, and Converted it to use a Turbo XS midpipe.

This sounds great and isnt loud at all.

My advice is if sound is that big of an issue for you then go back to stock. Its not like you pick much HP from an exhaust anyway.

RX8 Store HFC and Catback

I have the RX8 Store HFC and Catback. I love the sound of this combination. It might be a little loud for some, but again I think it really sounds good. I have been pulled over for it once, but was not given a ticket. And, just the other day I had a cop drive beside me and pace me. When we pulled up to a light he told me that he really liked the sound of my exhaust. He felt that it was just within the legal boundaries.

Jason, I no longer have my stock catback....now that I have your RX8store midpipe I just want to go with something that more livable for my other family members. Corksport just too loud for them...

Hi ALXVA8,
Thanks for your reply. Cops in my town didn't like me too much. I got pull over 5 times in the past 2 years since I have moved to this place. Most of the time is because the window tint was too dark and I have no front license plate. And I got pull over may be because my car is too clean and somehow they got jelous. Anyway, my set up that I have now is a bit too much for my little daughter and I want to quiet it down a bit. I decided to go with Racing Beats because I know for sure this thing is the least loud and still sound very good. And this exhaust is not loud all the time like corksport. Corksport is kind of loud most of time and get even louder when you get on it. The cop that pulled me over last Friday for loud exhaust told me it was too loud but then he smiled and said it sound pretty good and walked away before letting me go.
