JIC issupposed to be one of the most reputable companies in Japan. Borla has a very good reputation with exhausts as well. Look at : www.mazdaparts.com or www.rx8store.net.

I heard JIC is the most quiet exhaust available. If you're looking for increased sounds, this isn't for you. But JIC makes great products, so I'm sure if you're not looking for sound, it would be a great exhaust.

If you have the RP supercat unit, that doesn't have a resonator on it. If you are running that & a Borla exhaust the JIC exhaust will be quite a bit quieter. The Borla is one of the louder exhausts.

i love the borla as well... but since i'm putting a kit in, i want a more aggressive look. The borla looks nice from the side, but from the rear, the pipe looks a bit small since it's not a thin pipe!
I guess i'll just stick to the Borla... Also, i just noticed that the JIC exhaust has a pretty ugly muffler, although the Ti tips are very attractive.

i might change the exhaust -- although i love the sound now... but at cruising, the noise is just annoying. I do love the idle that i have now though...
BIU, how much, and which type of JIC exhaust did you purchase??
