I don't get it...is there a particular reason all of the aftermarket intakes and exhaust released so far for the RX-8 all are tuned for a lower bassy sound??? Can't say I really care for that sound, it sounds way too close to your average Civic fart cannon. I haven't heard a single aftermarket intake or exhaust that really fits the rotary's high revving nature, all of them seem to just give the RX-8 a typical Civic + cheap exhaust's low pitched "BROOM BROOOOOM" sound. Ugh. Make something that gives the RX-8 a nice, high pitched "WAP WAAAAAAAAAP!!!!" exotic scream and I'd buy it.

you need to here them in person, you have know idea with clips!!

beers :beer:

Mazdaspeed exhaust sounds exotic....
 

Man heard those sound clips and i have to say the sound is sexy!
Sounds like a Ferrari 328..... whoever posted the clips ,that was awesome......

Not to loud and not to soft.....just right......hey is there any droning from the mazdaspeed exhaust at highway speed?

Edmonds did a review on a RX-8 that was outfitted with Mazdaspeed parts , and they mentioned the exhaust gave them no power increase, just sound. Can anybody verify this with theres?

Correct, there is little to no increase in a catback exhaust replacement. Replacing the muffler on this car is for changing the sound of the car. Or if your into hard core racing, to reduce weight.

plus that article was written a year or so back with the older ms exhaust on. The new one has a bit larger piping I believe. You can get power by replacing your exhaust but at the cost of making it a lot louder than you want to be.

yea video clips are pretty bad in getting the real sound out. I personally heard a few other exhausts in real life and the clips really doesn't do it justice.

RX-8 with civic sound.. _ouch. I've heard many of them and none of them are close to 'civicy'

merged threads

My hymee makes the RX8 sound similar to a 3rd gen v6 eclipse but a bit deeper when driving normal. If you crank it up to 8000rpm's is sounds more like a lemans series car.

Anyone else notice that when the dude gets in the car, it sinks down like 4 inches?

Living the life of excess i guess...

OH YEAH THERE IS I AM EVEN THINKING ABOUT SELLING IT

I made the clip. I may be 240 pounds, but im hardly living the life of excess. Muscle weighs more than fat my friend. The Dunkin Donuts in the backround is pure coincidence. It was supposed to be a meet, and no one else showed up due to rain.

Thank you for the compliment. So far ive done city driving with the exhaust so I cant comment on highway sound yet. But ill be doing some highway cruising tomorrow and let you know.

ouch, what a diss.

Hahahha suuuuuuuuuuuuuure

:-D

LOL, sound clips are essentially useless, I especially love the ones where you here all the clicking and banging from the camera being moved around or people saying stupid sh-t in the background :rofl:

I like the ones with the big fat fatties jumping in and out of cars.....

:jump:

i'm glad were throwing fat comments around well i'm comfortable at my 330lbs feel free to take cracks at me. i guarantee i work harder and in much tigher spots than most people half my size

wow, this ones going a little overboard isnt it? Your profile says your around 26, arnt you a little old for this ridiculous kind of talk? The first time comment was enough and I tried to find the humor, even though it had nothing to do with the topic. Now your just being offensive and there are other members on this board im sure you're offending as you can see. Maybe you should grow up a littl...or alot.

Back on topic, I admit sound clips are somewhat useless but they do provide a rough idea on what the exhaust should sound like. AT least you know it isnt high pitched and doesnt backfire.

Dang...that sounds awesome. I want.

Sounds pretty good. Thanks for posting the file.

Agreed. A bit overboard, actually I was impressed that you didn't say nothing during the first post.

u need to listen to it in person before making retarded comments.. doesnt sound anything like a civic and i have both intake and exhasut.. .sounds like a fucking ferrari when blowing by at 8000 rpms.. and i hear ferraris every day cause i work at one of their local distributors..

:dunno: and you're saying this because?

This exhaust sounds and kind of looks like the Borla. Other than the dual mufflers.

It is really hard to tell from sound clips, but one I heard that I thought sounded really good, and kind of exotic was the Espelir Exhaust. I haven't heard of many people having them, but I think that's what I"m going to buy. Maybe you might want to look into it.

so you dont start asking Qs like how do you now how a ferrari sounds. etc etc...read and understand.. not evertything has to be spelled out. :spank:

I will have to agree with him. I don't think he means exactly like a Civic fart can. He means the aftermarket exhausts make the car sound deeper and more conventional. He's completely right that the exhausts lose the rotary "bandsaw," "nest of buzzing hornets" quality that the rotary is known for. Only the OEM exhaust provides that. Yes I want louder and I want louder at lower rpms but I want the exhaust to retain the OEM tonal quality. All the aftermarket exhausts completely change the tonal quality to a more conventional quality similar to the deep growl of many piston sports cars. And that to me and Vertigo is not the "rotary sound."

BINGO! Somebody else gets it, what's out there currently for the RX-8 just destroys any sort of uniqueness to how a rotary should sound. I managed to finally hear another RX-8 with OEM exhaust get on the gas on a straight away and the exhaust note was definitely different and unique from anything I have heard around town where modified cars are a dime a dozen. That is why I'm so sick of hearing "BROOM BROOOOM", I hear it on just about every other car around where I live.

Listen to a clip of the 787B, now THAT is how I always envisioned a rotary sounding like. Of course I'm not expecting to somehow get that sound from a two rotor engine but that is the model of sound I am after, not the whole low and bassy sound that is so common to piston engine cars. The rotary is a high revving engine, it should sound closer to a race car, and not like an average ricer car.

if you want that sound get any of the aftermarket ones with a unresonated midpipe, turboXS sounds like it very much at WOT

All anyone wants in this world is to be understood. :wavey: :wink2:

I want that 787B sound, too. That sound also reminds me of that sound clip of the Formula 1 car revving while being tested in a garage, which is quite different from the somewhat reserved pinched nasal sound it makes during a race seen on TV. I seem to remember many years ago seeing a Lemans race on TV and hearing a tight, "controlled" wail of a trumpet or bugle with intermittent blips. THAT'S the sound I want ideally but I don't know if you can produce it at low engine speed.

I'm in this boat too...I bought the rx8 mainly for it's uniqueness, and if I'm going to buy an aftermarket exhaust I'd want it to ENHANCE that uniqueness. I love that the rotary at WOT sounds more like a motorcycle than V8 (or turbocharged four banger)...I'd hate to lose that.

it's cause a lot of people that get the car wants that deep v8 note I guess. I with you guys on this one, i'm starting to enjoy the higher pitch sound of the rotary.

I wish we could retain the high pitch of the OEM exhaust but make it a little louder at all rpm and also increase the diameter of the tips. I really like the new Mazdaspeed exhaust tips.

I ask again, what about a midpipe or supercat with the OEM catback...

I remember someone on here saying he had a hi-flow cat, with an OEM catback and it was barely louder than stock, but he had the performance gains.

Besides the Espelir exhaust, I thought I also heard the cork Sport Exhaust which I thought also sounded a little bit higher pitched, and a little more exotic. Anyone else know about either of these?

search corksport, there is a clip on their site, it sounds almost exactly like the this mazdaspeed sport exhaust

I've heard the one on this site but I thought someone who's heard one in person might have more details on sound and build quality.

I'm also curious what maybe an unresonated midpipe would sound like with an OEM exhaust. For example, the B & B midpipe with stock cat back. That might sound good. I've heard the B & B midpipe with the borla exhaust and it was CRAZY loud. The only thing is I think I would like to change the tips out. Is that possible? The stock are kidna puny IMO.

Yeah you can change the tips, several people on this site have midpipes and supercats with OEM catbacks, we just need someone to start posting clips. I have a thread on this i'll bring back to the top...

what part about "sound clips are useless" don't you understand?

does anyone know if there is a sound difference between the FIRST GEN MS EXHAUST and this new MS dual muffler exhaust?

This one sounds a bit more agressive. The original sounded more like a stock piece I thought.

The easiest way to make something louder is to make the resonating chamber bigger or simply put more air through it. Its the same concept as a musical insterment. Making the resonating chamber (or the pipes in this case) bigger will make it louder but at the same time make it a lower tone. You could put more air throught it but thats not easily possible unless you simply add more rotors i guess. The only other option is less muffler in the equation. This would still modify the sound in some way.

Quite awhile back I saw/heard an RX-8 speeding by with a AutoExe kit. Since it had the kit and the exhaust was noticably louder I'm assuming it was the AutoExe cat-back. If so... while it is certainly more pricey than US made stuff, it sounded bad-ass.... 787B kind of badass.

What kind of sound compared to let's say a Greddy SP2? I've heard that before so a comparo to that tone could give me a good Idea.

VAPORIZER BUY

like i said b4 if you want loud and more of a waaaaaaaapppppp check out the vid i posted of turboXS with racepipe

I just installed the New MS Sport Exhaust about 30 minutes ago. It really doesn't sound anything like stock, it's a lot louder than I thought it would be. Sound really nice between 4k and redline. I don't really like it much below 4k because it's a bit to throaty.

Super easy to install it took less than an hour using a lift and the correct tools. Everything fit perfectly and all the correct gaskets, bolts, etc. are included.

Yeah, it is somewhat throaty... but then again a lot of people like that. It's all a matter of opinion. One thing I've found is that the exhuast gets louder as it gets hotter. It'll really roar at WOT on the highway too. Still liking it though, as long as it stays quiet at speed. ;)

You're right, the roar at WOT is awesome. The fact that you can simmer it down at speed is quite pleasant.
