Does any One have info on the Apexi PS Rev Exhaust. I only ask this Because I've used Apexi in my Previous Cars and have been very impress with. I've very Brand Loyal to apexi but Since I have not found any RX8 proof of the Exhaust beside hearing it on a friends 350z which sounds amazing but we all know that the RX8 is not the Same as 350z. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks

OK, here is what I have found so far, all in one place.
First, the sound of a stock RX-8 -- click here
Second, "Header-back" systems -- these are NOT street-legal:
Greddy: Price is about $1000 for complete system.
Greddy claims a 22HP increase over stock for this.

B&B: Price is about $950 for the cat-back system plus the race pipe.
Vivid Racing claims a 19 HP increase over stock (unknown if this is with or w/o cat).

Third, Street-legal systems with cat. If the info isn't there, I didn't find it. If anyone has any more info on an exhaust system for the RX-8 please e-mail me at bob@bobclevenger.com and I will add it to this post. That way we keep all the exhaust info in one place.

Okay I've had my cat back Borla for about 3 months now and I think I'm convinced I want a high flow midpipe. I don't want to go without a cat though, because I don't want to suffocate when I'm stuck in traffic.
What fits, what's available, what's best?? Search is not yielding me useful results.

^^^ Are you joking? All aftermarket exhausts for the Rx8 are basically the same in terms of power. The on;y one that is different is the Rotary Extreme Dual Cat Back Exhaust. Find the one that sounds the best and get that. Please learn to search and you will understand this better.

You need to learn to search and not just popup and write. Have you read the first post of this thread? I suppose not.

^any gains between aftermarket exhausts for the rx8 are negligible, there is only going to be a few hp difference. I have the b&b exhaust and I didn't get nearly as much as the claimed hp gains, still sounds great though. yor best bet when picking exhaust is to focus more on sound and appearance. if you're looking for power, get a header-back exhaust or a midpipe, that's the only real way to see any gains.
