Exotic Speed Exhaust
 
Well I got it done.... It went quick once I had the right stuff.... I want to thank Ray and Chickenwafer (?spelling) for pointing me in the direction of the Exotic Speed exhaust. The fit and and finish is second to none. The kit was very easy to install and the shipping was great. I would also like to thank my daughter Katy for helping me out....

your a day late and a dollar short....

good choice though... probably best overall exhaust so far. I already melted my shrouds. Good excuse to get MS

perks11 01-11-2008 11:51 PM

yea def post some sounds clips when you can, interested in how this system sounds

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 01-11-2008 11:57 PM

those are some rediculous wheels btw ^^

check the link i posted for three vids of the exhaust in bold titles.

Jedi54 01-12-2008 12:20 AM

damn mx, that exhaust looks pretty bitchin'!

Did you actually install that with just your jack holding up the car? PLEASE tell me you didn't...

I put the car up on four jack stands and it was pretty easy to move around under it. I had two floor jacks on each side for saftey just in case...

oh GOOD! You worried me there for a sec. I didn't want any n00bies on this forum seeing those pics and getting the idea that all they needed was a jack stand.

So how do you like the sound? Loud? too loud? any droning at highway speeds?

snipaz2420 01-12-2008 01:50 PM

im confused.... is this exhaust catless? G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY i didnt see a CEL on the video where you were driving. or did you put in one of those CEL fooler things?

Mikeluvs8 01-12-2008 08:25 PM

cel comes on after 50+ or so miles of driving w/o cat...

swoope 01-12-2008 08:49 PM

are the canisters round or oval???

looks nice..

beers :beer:

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 01-12-2008 09:00 PM

well it says comes with a hi-flow cat but it actually came with a midpipe, kinda sucks since half the reason i purchased was to get rid of the CEL... it went off for the first bit then came on again today. I gotta check into it. It sounds pretty dang loud here are a lot of pics/vids of it soon ( im uploading now)

This exhaust is sooooo loud. I herd G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY's today and i herd him comming from a mile away.

i was looking at this exhaust, but i felt that it would be too loud for me. I need more the Mazdaspeed,Racing Beat or Greddy one.

But this exhaust looks real nice. Good luck with it.

mx193 01-13-2008 12:29 AM

I have not had it out on the highway as of yet... The sound sounds great to me... I guess I will find out when I take it out on the highway.. The reason why I went with the Exotic Speed is to have something that not to many people have in this area... I love the look and the sound so far.... If I wanted the stock sound, I would have stayed with the stock exhaust...

swoope 01-13-2008 12:32 AM

guys it is loud due to the midpipe..

some one give it a whirl with a cat on.. stock or hi flow..


beers :beer:

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 01-13-2008 12:36 AM

hey swoope if i installed this "fooler" onto this system, and it cleared the CEL, would the dealer try to look at it when i get a compression test?

swoope 01-13-2008 12:54 AM

i would put the stock cat back on..

it really depends on your relationship with the dealer..

but no cat is bad. i get along great with my dealer. they let me watch my whole motor change.. never said a word about my many mods. put in a lw flywheel and stage one clutch while the motor was out.


but i did have a cat on.. hi flow one, but a cat none the less..

mods are one thing, but no cat is begging for trouble..

now that said. that is for warranty work..

if you are paying for the test.. does not matter...

beers :beer:

Yeah.... Who wants a check engine light on... Not me.... I hate any light on the dash doesn't need to be there...

NgoRX8 01-13-2008 01:06 AM

when i saw this exhaust i thought about the agency power exhaust. anyone know if there's a similarity?

btw,

few have made foolers work.. yet some dont get a cel without a cat... it takes me 18 miles to get a cel without a cat..

a fooler is not going to fool a tech working on your car...

i was thinking the same....

mx193 01-13-2008 12:38 PM

I just got done driving the loop out at Red Rock and had a great time... Holly loud batman!!!! It is very loud and on the freeway it is even louder..... I talked with the guys at the front gate of the loop and they gave me a hard time about how loud it was... They said they could hear me the whole time I was doing the loop.... I am going to look for a high flow cat today... I hope the will take it down a little....

Jedi54 01-13-2008 12:59 PM

you should do a sound clip of it now so you can compare it afterwards. (once you get the high flow cat)

Might I suggest the RP supercat. It's what I'm running with my RB exhaust and I love it. http://rx7.com/store/rx8/rx8exhaust.html

I also observed this in the first exoticspeed thread. It's identical with my exhaust, the only difference is that the tips are more purplish compared with Agency Power ones. But everything else looks the same!

Charles R. Hill 01-13-2008 05:54 PM

MX, don't forget that once we install your turbo kit that exhaust note will quiet down a LOT. You can still get a high-flow cat just the same but with all that and a turbo you'll be back down to fatory-type dB levels, only a better sound. You'll still also have that same power level we discussed.

It is quite possible that the manufacturer of the ExoticSpeed exhaust also manufactures systems for several other brands, too. The ExoticSpeed mufflers have the company name stamped in them.

NgoRX8 01-13-2008 08:18 PM

yea, that's what i was thinking. they look exactly the same except for the tips and stamped name.

snipaz2420 01-13-2008 08:20 PM

so we are saying that exoticspeed = agency power with different tips?

Charles R. Hill 01-13-2008 09:24 PM

I believe what's being implied is that it is possible that they are the same but my opinion is that such a thing isn't necessarily bad.

chickenwafer 01-13-2008 09:30 PM

Glad you like it, man. It looks sweet!

And like Ray said, keep in mind the turbo will quite down your exhaust significantly. It's basically a giant muffler in your exhaust, so the noise will come down.

mx193 01-13-2008 09:45 PM

OK... Ray I need a turbo fast....:lol: I have been driving it a lot today and I am starting not to notice it.... I do love the way it sounds and it looks great..... I went back to the loop and drove it for about 2 hours about 10 laps or so....

Charles R. Hill 01-13-2008 09:54 PM

MX, are you finding yourself bored with your 180 rwhp?

mx193 01-13-2008 10:04 PM

YES!!!! I smoke very car out there in the turns... The 8 has great corner speed and drives where you point it... The up hill straightaway kills me... I get passed there every time.... I was driving with two WRX and three STI's... I could pass them in the turns and smoked them in the off cambers.... The straightaways kill me every time.... So hurry :lol:

Charles R. Hill 01-13-2008 10:10 PM

Let's see; you need more power so Jeff, Dave, and I are supposed to hurry the project up? I can think of a better motivation that would include ALL my products.........$$$$$$$.

I'm rich, Bitch!!:lol2:

:lol: .... Of course not..... Good things come to those that wait....:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Charles R. Hill 01-13-2008 10:21 PM

The honest truth is that if we worked any faster on any of the BHR product something would probably get messed up. Although I have yet to make my first dollar I am somewhat satisfied with the pace of things, for now.

diabolical1 01-14-2008 03:40 AM

does Exotic Speed have a website? i think i'm going to buy their header and if so, then i may nix the Turbo XS exhaust and get their exhaust.

diabolical1 01-14-2008 03:42 AM

nevermind. i found it.

www.exoticspeed.ca

biggin55 02-18-2008 04:20 PM

whats the best price on this? I found one on ebay for about 650 shipped, any other good deals out there not on Ebay

RedefineRX8 02-18-2008 07:03 PM

that is definitely as good as its going to get.

HiTMaNN 02-18-2008 07:21 PM

One of the Finer Canadian products out there def worth a nod from I

Charles R. Hill 02-18-2008 07:27 PM

When ordering this exhaust from Justin, it often helps to drop my name. Tell him I said, "Hi".:)

biggin55 02-19-2008 10:38 AM

What company is Justin w/, if he is a friend CRH I will def give him my business especially over Ebay!

Charles R. Hill 02-19-2008 08:59 PM

Call ExoticSpeed and ask to talk to Justin. Drop my name and see what happens. Maybe free shipping?:dunno:

Before you do that ask MX193 how he likes his system.

mx193 02-19-2008 09:37 PM

I love it... Sounds great and looks even better.... It's a little on the loud side, but I have heard a lot louder... If I were to do it all over again, I would buy the same system... I am very happy with it.... Plus no one in my circle has it...

ivory8 02-19-2008 11:51 PM

well, jason i hope to see u at the meet! i want to hear this baby!

Charles R. Hill 02-19-2008 11:55 PM
