I actually like to look under cars with aftermarket exhausts. Mine is shiny and pretty and you can actually see it without having to bend down too much. If I had those pipes under my car I wouldn't be able to rest until they were gone.

However, I'm interested to hear a sound clip.

Bunch of videos on you tube with RX8's and no exhaust, but i'm sure it's truly hard to get a feel for how loud it really is.

nothing can prepare you for that continuous high pitched ringing noise drilling into the core of your brain

Id imagine these straight pipes would be like running open header, which is unbearable to me. I actually like the way my single exit and test pipe sound. It isnt all that loud, but straight pipes like these is too much.

I don't like the hacksaw sound it produces... plus it's sufficiently loud to get you banned during a track day and over the 105db sound limit of most competitions.
If you like it though just live with it.

i got straight pipes done at my neighborhood backwood shop for $80 mine didnt rust and i told him the degrees of the bends and everything, ill see if i can go snap some pics and post them up right now, but so far ive had them for 2 months, not one pull over, driven 5,000 miles (to california) been here a week, still no cops, had people including a baby ride in my car with no problems, driven by countless cops and no problem, i feel a MAJOR increase in power at low and high rpms, you can drive it to sound like a rolex cup rx8 or like a RB catback system haha it all depends, but about every time i shift i get the "fast and the furious" backfire flame out the tail pipe thing, quiet funny if you ask me but i did it for performance for money, so far its worked with no problems. if you want to do this, i recommend it at your own risk maybe im lucky *knock on wood*
