Does any one have something similar to the following:
A single (biggish, about 16 plus inches long) canister at the back with single exit and cat removed with a resonator, where the standard one used to be, (also not too small).
As I designed, must still double check all my measurements etc, a exhaust from front to back with single exit and other type of tailpipe from idea of some website, I want to know on sound / loudness of such system before I finish mine (mine will be custom built) thats the only way here in SA anyway.
If anyone want some detail, pm me with email adres and i will send the basic idea in one page pdf.

I need some advice
I really want to get a exhaust for my rx8. I cant decide which one is the best for what i want tho. Im looking for a deeper exhaust note without any kind of "ricey" sound. Dont want it too loud but definitely louder than the rather quiet sound it has now. I'm leaning toward the mazdaspeed system but i'd appreciate any advice or input. Thanks

My mate and I drove down to R-Magic last weekend. Its about a 50 km hike from where we live in Tokyo. Took 3 hours... Gotta love city traffic. He was looking for a quiet exhaust at idle and motor way speeds and something more lively under heavy right foot application. One of the R-Magic guys took us out of a spin in the demo car on a little test course. At first just cruising a long it really didn't sound anything above stock. My mate was thinking that it was maybe a little boring for him - as in, whats the point if it sounds just like stock.
Then we hit the test course going through the rev ranges. Wheel spin in second gear. The odd backfire on lift and a wail of glorious sound following us around. I have the Racing Beat one myself which is quiet in comparison to this. Its intoxicating. Sounded like F1 in Monaco tunnel. He signed up for it with out batting an eyelid :-)
Off to the combini to pick up some cash and the damn thing was fitted when we got back. Took them all of 40 minutes or less. Great service. Later in the day we went for a blast through a road in the mountains about 60 kms away. There we found a series of 20 small tunnels where we were a little immature in terms of noise pollution. Is this beast really that quiet at idle is all I can think about. I love that exhaust and the sound it makes. Secretly wanting it.
I haven't been for a spin in my car since as been at work all week. Heading to Super Autobacs tomorrow to the Mazda Fiesta day. AutoExe, Revolution and Trust will be there with demo cars. I plan on picking up some toys...

mazdaspeed exhaust prices
That site was very helpful but i did notice that there seem to be 2 versions (or more) of the mazdaspeed dual muffler system. One that I saw had round oval shaped mufflers and were not polished (the tips were of course) and the other i saw was completely polished and had bigger flatter mufflers. Any difference in performance or sound with these? I've heard the soundclip of the mazdaspeed mufflers but i'm not sure which is which now. Anyone know?

difference in power is nothing if any... the one that has two mufflers is the new one... much louder....
the one with the big can that looks like the stock muffler is the old or first one...

just a lil bit more clarification
so the mazdaspeed muffler system that has the dual mufflers that look like "cans" is different than the other one? Check out that website again that you gave me and lemme know if that one is decent or if i should shell out some extra bux for the other one. "The other one" i've seen is on a couple websites but i found it on mazdatrix.com. Thanks for all your help!

Hi guys
us lot over the water seem to be well behind you lot....
whats your thoughts on the Borla, as we have all been trying to get hold of them.
and out of the various systems that our members have over here the borla sounds the best other than made up ones!!!!!
also anybody know of some good and relevant exporters to supply us brits with Borla system. cheapest upto now is £580 which still seems steep.
your thoughts please.
cheers

Has anyone had any issues with the B&B cat-back exhaust leaking at the connection between the pipe & muffler? I bought mine 2nd hand, and had to order a new gasket for this location because the other one was shot, and upon installation, they just don't align properly at the right angles, so there is a constant leak out the bottom of the connection. Anyone else have any experience with this??

Received my Hymee exhaust today and had it installed.
IMHO, this is the best sounding exhaust. The tone is very low (no rice here), and just the right amount of volume - I would say medium volume with a deep, great sound when your on the gas and just a low volume rumble when you are cruising/idling. If I decide I want more volume later, I may add a hi-flow cat - we'll see.
On the looks side - those 4" tips sticking out the back look great and really fill the exhaust frames well without requiring any trimming to install. I got the stainless version and while you can't see those gorgeous mufflers from the back, they still look great when you look up her skirt.
I did have a custom shop install mine. I thought about doing it, but after watching it get installed I was glad I had a shop do it as getting the intermediate pipe off the stock muffler was tough and they had to expand it a little to get the new connector pipe inserted all the way. They also had the right tools and experience to get everything lined up perfectly straight before tightening down. Well worth the $80 to get it perfect.
I highly recommend this system. Time for a Ride!!!!

so basically there are no sounds clips or recomendations regarding the JIC ti exhaust? as we all know, ti is very attractive but what im really after is the weight loss. not to mention the un-matchable sound...
also, is there any news on the re-amemiya? what is it, possibly where to get it and at what price?
