call them, i believe i delt with Jason...

 

What do you guys think of the Borla and Greddy exhaust? I'm thinking about those two exhaust systems. I'm looking for a "refined" sound. I don't want it to be too loud or obnoxious sounding, just enough to give me some great power and turn some heads. Let me know.

 

Just put my RB exhaust on today. Very nice unit, hardly noticable at idle or low RPM's but great sound when you put you foot in it.

 

You only have to pay tax if the store has a presence in the state that it is being shipped to.

 

I bought my RX-8 about a month ago and based on user reviews here I decided to go with the Racing Beat exhaust. I have to say I am very glad I did - it is not louder than stock at lower RPM's but when I put my foot in the gas it sounds fantastic! It's not a cheap sound like some exhausts I hear, if anything it sounds "exotic". I am also very pleased with the Racing Beat customer service, and was so impressed that I have already ordered their REVi intake.

I had a local Midas Muffler shop install it. The box was a bit large to fit into the trunk or backseat so I simply took it out of the box but left it wrapped up inside the plastic and put it in my backseat carefully.

 

IMO Racing Beat is the best, which is why i got it. Greddy is like the loudest you can get other then B&B, and the Borla is a little louder then Racing Beat, but it's nothing special.

 

I was able to find some links that allowed me to listen to the Borla and Greddy exhausts. Do you guys know of any links that would give me an opportunity to hear the Racing Beat exhaust? Also, tell me some more about the Racing Beat exhaust, is it a refined sound? Is it loud, quiet? How is the quality rating?...It sounds like it is a pretty sweet exhaust. Let me know.

 

I say Espelir.

 

www.mazdatrix.com - exhaust section. Racing Beat is almost stock-like at low RPM's, but is throatier at mid to high RPM's. Quality is top notch, welds are very well done & quality of the steel is wonderful.

 

I have the Racing Beat and I have to say the build quality is excellent.. I would recommend this exhaust to anyone. As stated above the sound is stock at low with a little rumble but when you get on it, it sounds awesome.

 

Ditto...

Racing Beat is not going to be as free flowing for a FI application...even Jim Langer has stated this...they built this exhaust strictly for a N/A application...

I have the Espelir JGT500..actually i was the first RX-8 owner to have this exhaust...It is VERY mean at WOT...there is an awesome low growl when at idle...there isn't any drone and man,..add the Rotary Performance cat-back and some other "stuff" and it will shoot some MAJOR flames...i will tell you this..B&B is one of the most "open" exhausts made for the 8...i don't like it because it makes the car sound like a civic...but the Espelir has just as much through put with out the ricey sound and IMO is made for FI applications...TRUST ME...

 

After hearing the Greddy, Borla and Racing Beat exhausts, Greddy gets the slight victory over Borla, and I do mean slight. The Racing Beat exhaust just did not do it for me. I know that might not be popular in this forum, however the quality and "name" behind Greddy and Borla is there. The Greddy and Borla exhausts sounded like a dream (Especially the Greddy). I would choose the Greddy or Borla, probably the Greddy, however the Racing Beat exhaust did sound good.

 

A note about the Borla.. One of the guys at our local meet Autocrosses and he was saying that the connectins on his borla get loose and he has to tighten them from time to time. They are not flanges like the Greddy and RB.

 

Just installed the Borla cat back on my AT 8. I think the exhaust note is real nice with a kinda low growl at speed and a nice roar on acceleration but not too much noise. Real nice fit and finish on the system too.
