TopSpeed Pro 1 Exhaust System
Everyone ever bought the topspeed pro 1 exhaust system for the rx8? Im thinking about buying one and wanted to know how it sound
|
never heard of them ... the design on their website looks good though
|
2 3/8'' ID for an exhaust? Not an optimal choice if in the pursuit of a performance gain on the car.
|
Wow another eBay special. $380 with free shipping. Go for it, just keep in mind you get what you pay for. I would agree 2 3/8" I/D is somewhat small. I'd go with something that has a larger pipe diameter if I was you.

That is BS in terms of exhausts. I have installed quite a few RX8 catbacks and I have seen $1,000.00+ exhausts that are no better than $500.00 exhausts. The Turbo XS is a good example. The mazdaspeed is also an example of an expensive exhaust that cracks at the welds.

(Another reason why I sold my Mazdaspeed CAI, which is just AEM) |
9krpmrx8 I was referring to the i/d of the piping in this instance. Sounds a little restrictive to me. Too each their own. I have always stuck to purchasing exhausts from reputable manufactures for all my cars but thats just me. I guess money just burns a hole in my pocket!

Yeah on this car though the piping diameter doesn't mean anything on a NA RX8. I saw no tangible power increase form my HKS single side. |
^ You may be right but this exhaust is more restrictive than a stock exhaust!

It just depends, this exhaust could look like shit and sound like shit in person but no one knows until they try it :) Many bashed the OBX as cheap crap when it came out yet everyone who has purchased it and ran it had nothing but good things to say about it :dunno: But at the end of the day, you buy what you like, I don't bash anyone who does what they want with their money. And in most situations, a better quality part will cost more and that is fine by me. |
The stock exhaust diameter for the rx8 is 2 1/2". As was stated earlier this exhaust diameter is 2 3/8". What does that equate to? Who the hell knows! Most people seek to increase the diameter of their exhaust when upgrading not decrease it. Again I could care less what exhaust the guy gets. I didn't ask around when I was deciding what exhaust to go with. I did my research and got what I thought was the best exhaust for the money I had set aside. Op I wish you the best of luck if this is the exhaust you decide on. Make sure to post your opinion after you get it installed.

Purchased the exhaust today
Hey I just bought the TopSpeed Pro-1 exhaust for the 8. It usually goes for about 380 but I purchased it because I found it on eBay for 352 with free shipping brand new.
Haven't found anyone with this exhaust yet so I'm curious to how it's going to sound. |

Put up a vid when you get it installed. I'm also curious of how it will sound.
