new exhuast help
 
ok im gettin a new exhaust for my birthday and i have it narrowed down to two choices: agency power or greddy. I'm leanin towards the agency power tho. If anybody has either of these give me some feedback and your opininons on them, it would be very helpful

What GReddy model? SE or SP2?

chino0314 09-23-2009 02:02 PM

i think if you have a stock bumper you should go with greddy, cuz the ap exhaust might burn your shrouds

Spoolin8 09-23-2009 02:07 PM

I have the AP and with some cheap exhaust hanger clips from autozone i made my agency power sit perfectly. I love the burnt ti tips and i get alot of compliments on the sound.

hmmmm now you got me interested in racing beat exhausts haha how do you like yours? i will take other suggestions too those are just the two that i had in mind

DarthRX8 09-23-2009 06:45 PM

Personally I love it! Great quality and a perfect tone paired with my AEM intake.

It is not loud as hell, so if you want loud do not buy it.

ya thats why i like the agency power and the SE cause they're pretty loud, especially the AP. However, i gotta admit it does sound damn good even though it isn't super loud.

tubingchamp 09-23-2009 09:12 PM

I like my AP, it's the loudest. But I like it :)

RyansRx8 09-23-2009 10:23 PM

Greddy SE

JIC Spartan Full ti! :)

JK you probably dont want to spend that amount of money.

I would go with Racing Beat. I had a loud exhaust on my 8 before the JIC and I can say the low tone exhausts are the best you really hear the rotary way better. And you drive in upper rpms a lot more too :)

Spoolin8 09-24-2009 12:55 PM

I went from a racing beat to the AP and honestly the racing beat is way way to quite for my taste. I dont like loud exhausts and i dont think the AP is overly loud so when i hear that the AP is one of the loudest for the 8 im in shock. Maybe with the full AP dual resonated midpipe its loud as hell but just the catback has a extremely low growl to it.

alz0rz 09-24-2009 01:04 PM

Mazdaspeed. But from those two choices I'd do the AP. Hope you know it's loud.

Huey52 09-24-2009 01:06 PM

In descending order of tone:

MazdaSpeed
Borla
Racing Beat

Which is why I'll probably end up with a Borla.

I have the AP and I looooooooooooooooooooove it! :love:

It's not too loud and not too quiet. When you accelerate the deep dark tone kicks in and you orgasm every time!! Then when you are just cruising, it quiets down and is barely noticeable. I also am running this with a midpipe to enhance the flava!!!

adamwzl 09-24-2009 01:12 PM

You were running that setup :rofl:

But it did sound good when he had his 8 running. It will be on the next though :)

xun4gvn4everx 09-24-2009 01:17 PM

^Yea, I tend to forget when posting on the forums :rolleyes:

adamwzl 09-24-2009 01:35 PM

it happens. My 8 sits a lot. I only drive it on saturday and sundays now :(

xun4gvn4everx 09-24-2009 01:41 PM

Nothing wrong with that, keeps it safe. I'm buying a DD before I buy another 8 so I can let the 8 be my toy and sit

^ maybe..... :suspect:

FazdaRX_8 09-24-2009 02:42 PM

I like my agency power exhaust it has the mid pipe installed and its loud. I however got two sets of exhaust silencers, the first set made it very quite, but still noticeable, the second set is a larger silencer and I think its perfect.

the car quiets down at cruise and scares people at full throttle. one thing that I really like about the silencers is it killed the slight drone in the car.

Spoolin8 09-24-2009 03:00 PM

I only have the catback so its not real loud and its silent when cruising and off the gas... but like above said when you get on it the car sounds like its a formula 1 racer.

adamwzl 09-24-2009 03:57 PM

musac!

dhan 09-24-2009 09:17 PM

Haha thats what im jealous of! the burnt ti tips. darn sort of want to trade my greddy sp2 for an agency power catback!

Spoolin8 09-24-2009 10:10 PM

TI tips = te hotness

adamwzl 09-25-2009 07:59 AM

Full ti exhaust = hotness :D:

8upbad 09-25-2009 08:36 AM

HKS wtf

RedRocket8 09-25-2009 10:45 AM

I used to have the Greddy SP2, so i would say SE.... Greddy makes one hell of an exhaust, not taking anything away from Agency, just my opinion

thats the one i decided on. I love how the agency power sounds but i'm lookin for somethin that isn't quite as loud cause the custom exhaust on it right now is loud as hell. I've been pulled over three times for it bein too loud so its time to get rid of it haha i'm sellin it to a friend who has an 04 nordic green rx8 tho

Gr8Bullet 09-27-2009 05:51 PM
