which is the most Quiet aftermarket Catback?
I installed the exotic speed on my 8 with the midpipe and the RB header.
The sound was really great but i want to make my car more silence in case i am traveling on the high way A lot of hours
Listen to the sound that i have now here:

what are you trying to accomplish with the aftermarket catback? you're pretty much just getting sound so if you want to deaden the sound, are you just looking for different tips?

You have headers...hi-flow cat...and exotic speed exhaust and are surprised that it is loud?
If you want quiet...stay stock. You won't get very a lot of hp from exhaust mods...I've done (and will do in the future) these mods for listening pleasure.
I'm guessing it is the exotic speed exhaust that is really giving you the loudness.
I noticed a measurable difference with my addition of a hi-flow cat to the stock exhaust system. It is a bit deeper and the engine feels much less restricted than before. The person I bought the hi-flow from said he had it mated with a Magna-flow and it was "way too loud". I dunno...I never heard his set-up.
You should try the stock cat-back with the headers and hi-flow cat. Probably the best way to cut out the loudness and retain as much of the benefit? I dunno...exhaust is obviously not my forte.
Good luck

Hmmm. I run a racing beat catback cut at the flange for a slip fit with a RP Supercat and a resonator. My car idles more or less silent and is only noticeably louder than stock at WOT. Even then, it's much quieter than most modded 8s (even though my cat is gutted). The key? I'm also turboed. Therefore, you should put a turbine in your exhaust to get rid of all that excess noise.
Seriously, though, even on the dyno my car is almost always the most quiet there.

The Mazdaspeed single/dual canister has one of the lowest decibel cat-backs.
Single being the lowest then the dual cat back.
Than racing beat and borla would be next on the list.
I installed a Borla and Exotic Speed High Flow catback the other day and I had to take it up to 7-8k to even get anything louder out of the exhaust.
The Borla I think is one of my new favorites.

I've compared the RB next to the MS catback side by side and the RB was quieter....
heres my RB with a Midpipe:

What midpipe were you using fix the embed link..

Yep RB is quieter than the MS dual one. We've been doing some stuff on a couple of rx8s and had a chance to hear both (i own the MS). The racing beat is very quiet, mostly at cruise rpms but is heavier (performance wise).

I Disagree... do you happen to know the Decibels of both??

Yes it sounds good much more quit than my Videos on the first post i like the sound so maybe i am going with Rev8! what about Tanabe? it says that is a quiet system? And the legamax? is louder than the REv8?

When comparing car parts it is alway a good habit to talk about a broader spectrum of features.
If i recall it right RB's weighs more than the stock one.
