RB is winning, because of me.

I have the Racing Beat, and I think it sounds great. I've heard the Borla and it sounds really nice too. Personal opinions are going to vary, and I voted for RB because I have it and it is the once I am most familiar with. I don't regret for a second buying it, the quality is amazing. I'm sure owners of the Borla would say the same about their exhaust.

So, I guess it really comes down to flipping a coin because I am sure that with either one you will be happy.

Well does any1 else have experience with these sugestion? Yes i will get other mods. Any experience with midpipe? which sounds better with midpipe?

Had a Borla on my last car and it was lovely sounding. I'll eventually get it for my 40th AE as well. Lovely sounding at idle and it opens up when you wanna get on it.

+1 Borla!

both great sounding exhausts..

i have the borla. but i would put on the racing beat in a second.

the racing beat does weigh a lot more..

but of all the exhausts i have heard in person they are the top two.

beers

The best way to describe the RB remains... "It sounds like the rx-8 should have sounded stock."

It's not crazy, wild, or flashy. In fact some non-rx8-enthusiasts will probably look at it and hear it and say... wow, I love what Mazda did with the exhaust on that car.

If you want it to sound and look "modded," the RB will probably leave you wanting more.

I had the Racing Beat & loved it. Just about perfect. Sounds stock at low revs, but really opens up at medium/high revs. I had a RP Supercat with it & it still sounded awesome.

isn't RB a lot heavier than Borla? or is the difference negligible?

yes it is.

but if you dont track the car or are in some sort of competitive competition. does it really matter?
