so i'm looking into getting an exhaust for my rx8. i want something deep but not too loud. i really like agency power but i feel as if it's a bit too loud. i like how it sounds though. and THM Motorsports isn't a far drive either. but just wanted some insight from the rx8 community. mazdaspeed is alright, but i feel like it's a bit soft. borla from videos doesnt sound as deep as AP. basically something that sounds similiar to to agency power but not as loud. i'm really considering AP, but the loudness worries me slightly. but the look of it (being ti-tipped) and all does make it nice in appearance and in sound. so any feedback i guess would be greatly appreciated!

 

Finding the search button will help you.

This is a topic that everyone has an opinion about, and it's been discussed 1.3 million times.

 

Nothing sounds like what it sounds like in videos

 

MagnaFlow is what you're looking for IMO. I'm partial, but was looking for the exact sound. Your Intake makes a huge difference as well. When I put my stock intake back on, my exhaust went real quiet. I took off the restrictor plate on the stock box though and gave the perfect sound.

 

this is a topic that varies on the person. not everyone looks for the same sound. which is.why search didnt fully help.

exactly why I thought i'd ask. AP exhaust sounds 10x better in person. sounds completely different in videos.

well id like to keep on my aem cai.lol. ill see if anyone local has magnaflow. thanks

 

Then why did you ask for our help? Make your own decisions

you guys got a bit salty over the years....
most threads are an open thread. any exhaust that sounds good. i went into more detail, saying what particular sound. deep but not too loud...
maybe someone would have posted an old set up they had. custom exhaust or something because they couldnt decide either.

 

check out mysql's threads. He's tested a lot of exhaust combos and posted on youtube

 

Exactly. I have had a few, I have still not found the right combo so I have resorted to modifying them


Oh, asking this question is like asking who the hottest chick in the world is. SEARCH.

 

I have run through several set ups now. my favorite, and from what others say too about my car, BHR midpipe single res paired with borla is superb

 

I am in the same boat as you..already have mazsport midpipe..now I need quiet cat back..those reving in place video are useless..exhaust sounds very different under load.

 

told ya, ur best bet I is to attend SEVENSTOCK and you will see and hear all kinds of RX8s, and rotaries all in one place.

 

so far away though... haha

But I'm sure you where just rounding down .... lol

 

I personally love the sound of the agency but it really is your opinon man. If i where you i would deff look into a Borla maybe a Greddy exhaust. I also agree you mite like the Magnaflow. Hope that helps a little.... I never heard someone describe people as being "Salty" haha thats a first

 

alright thanks. borla didnt seem deep sounding enough in some videos. and having heard AP in person. and driving around in an 8 with the AP exhaust. it's loud but it sounds real good. and the ti tips are a plus too. magnaflow did seem nice from videos. might end up going with agency power.

 

Only Albert Einstein knows the correct answer to this equation of trigonometry (whatever it is)

 

Exoticspeed!!!!

i just got one and its just amazing. went from a mazdaspeed to exoticspeed and the jump was amazing. the sound is so much more aggressive especially with the headers and midpipe to match.

 

Someone drove from Rhode Island, and people flew from all over. From LAX to GA $312 round trip.

 

Someday, i'm going to sevenstock.

 

i have a borla cat back on my 2004 mt its nice n quiet around town but screams on the parkway

 

does anyone have a borla exhaust for sale in the lower mainland area of BC, Canada?

 

sorry for thread jack
