Ugh. Make something that gives the RX-8 a nice, high pitched "WAP WAAAAAAAAAP!!!!" exotic scream and I'd buy it.

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."
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

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.

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?

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...

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-***.... 787B kind of badass.

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.
