Racing Beat Exhaust

Just put my new racing beat exhaust on in the driveway and it is perfect. I was wondered about it being to loud and its not just its a little deeper than stock.

When just driving normally around town are you able to hear the difference? I'm looking for a ncie deep tone that will not overpower the interior but can still please the ear. Then when I step on the gas for some spirited driving I really want the exhaust to scream out "Watch out -- Rotary coming through!" If ya know what I mean. I'm debating between Racing Beat and Borla. Also Greddy is a thought. But what is your experience so far with the REV8

You should have saved the 80 bucks and done it yourself. It was easy

Look for Nemesis' posts. He has RB exhaust with the RP supercat, and a bunch of other sound clips.

Thats the exact opposite of my experience. Mine mellowed out after time.

Hey, I'm about to order the REV8 exhaust system ,and I think I'm going to go with the REV8 Intake from Racing Beat and put them on at the same time. Any thoughts?...The sound together should be overall much better than stock.

Great combination! RX8store.net has the best prices and they are drop shipped from Racing Beat right to your house. I love mine and am now waiting for my RAM duct to come in (although I ordered this straight from RB...couldn't wait). You ought to consider one when you put on the REVi as they both require you to remove the front bumper

Yeah if you are going to get the Racing Beat intake you have to get the ram duct too. They should offer it as a package

This is true, might as well. Luckily I am just a short drive from a authorized RB dealer. This should make delivery and install easier. Thanks, and Good Luck.
