The exhaust weighs about 23 lbs. (I believe the stock exhaust weighs about 39 lbs.) and is going to retail at about $520. Not too bad!

 

i don't think it looks half bad actually. Weighs about the same as the rb single exit race exhaust. On the other hand 23lbs is still pretty heavy for a single exit exhaust. If they made the whole thing titanium that would be badass but also expensive. Not sure if this was mentioned in the previous post but what's the piping diameters?

 

You're right, a full titanium exhaust would be nice but would probably double the cost! hahaha

The pipe diameter is 75mm.

 

here are a few more pics of the exhaust. Keep in mind, these pics were taken duing the fitment process (prototype).

 

I prefer TiLm's version

 

haha funny

 

His looks crappy and is probably louder than crap.

 

so the 3" piping is Mainly Used and has a great advantage for the FI cars then? as i beleive i have read the borla has 3"piping.?

 

and have you noticed that most borla owners have either sold or purchased new exhaust systems..haha

 

borla exhaust tapers down I believer and isn't a 3 inch system all the way through.

 

Post sound clips of the HKS

 

Me, me! I have a center single exhaust but I have to search for pics. I will post them if I find them. It is loud as hell though but performance wise it is much better from the other combos I tried. With TRUST ti and high flow cat, headers I had the best sound track but due to the fact that the ti is smaller even from the stock, it cut me at higher rpms. I used for two months the single and the car was razor sharp until redline, the temps fell down but the sound is almost untolerable.
I then put the stock back on and while I can floor it without being chased by police, I am suffering!!! The heat this thing produces back and forth in my motor is killing my 8 and me. I can't drive it anymore. I am in a loophole now. I don't know what to do but I miss my single one...

 

do u have pics w/ the bumper on?

 

yea, id like to see that with a bumper on..

 

does the frame of the car move up in the center or did you cut it? i didnt notice that extra space on my car.

 

sorry kwik, no sound clips..

 

What he cut was the heat shield that surrounds the stock exhaust. This was the part that I attached that MS replica rear bumper to. It is really thin metal that can cut easily.

 

you want ugly?

Bring you're dual tip RX-8 out to the autox and run against my single pipe STU Class RX-8,
there's nothing uglier than getting the holy crap kicked out of you ...

team rx8 has a nice solution for a dual exit delete...

 

your single setup looks nice Team. I'm following your progress in your thread.

 

23 lbs is still way too heavy, that's only 3 lbs lighter than my ENTIRE
stainless steel exhaust system; manifold, cat, dual inline mufflers, and Apexi ECV ...

 

not the heat shield... in circle it in the picture but i cant seem to DL the picture

 

NO NO NO that looks like crap. its like that pic of that civic with a 5 ft wing only now with exhaust

 

ok someone please close this thread, it has been hijacked 1 too many times..
