The one that sounds the best ----- to you.
After all, that is what you are paying for.

Maybe you can make a meet and hear some. Sombody is bound to have an aftermarket one. I have the Greddy and like it.

Thats all up to personal preference. I personally have the Greddy SP2. Priced lower then the others. They all sound similar, borla being the deepest, Greddy being the loudest. Depending with what tips you like best, Greddy has the largest, and in my opinion, look best.

i almost went with the b&b, sadly i never got to hear it in person. i did want a little more sound then i got, but, im happy.

If you want small sound clips of various exhausts go to www.mazdatrix.com, under exhausts. I have the Racing Beat unit & love it.

evilbada1 04-27-2005 10:16 PM

huff's vivid racing rx8 had B&B exhaust and the clip as well. i forgot which website.
i have the B&B on also, and i like it.

the racing beat catback is the best in quality for what you pay for and best in performance as well.

they also have an intake that is also the best researched and tested and performs well and is not too noisy for intakes,. get the racing beat intake and exhaust and you can add 11hp to your car......total with those two mods, getting your car to the magic 250hp give or take a few fishes

I slightly disagree with this statement...

RB makes an awesome catback but there is a better quality (higher grade stainless steel used) exhaust for a similar price in the Hymee exhaust.

The RB tips turn 'golden' which is very common to stainless steel and can be cleaned off but as soon as it heats up it will 'gold' again.

Higher quality stainless steel is resistant to to this and other corrosion.

You can't go wrong with either exhaust really. Just take this into consideration.

like the mazdaspeed one ;) one year later and still no golden tips or any signs of corrosion.

Check out the Cork Sport. :) On the street or track - makes the car sound like it looks...:D and it's a beautiful piece of polished stainless steel art.

yosop, PSHHH!!!!......your b&b is louder cause you got the freaken diesel midpipe xP
imsure they'd be similar if compared just to the exhausts alone

smrx8 04-28-2005 11:28 AM

I wish racing beat would address and fix this issue maybe make a better qaulity exhaust the dam tips keep pissing me off i had couple people who liked it but said the tips looked yello :(

ur wrong... chrism has b&b exhaust itself... and kelrx8 has greddy sp2 exhaust alone... b&b was MUCH louder u noob~ :D

foxman 04-28-2005 04:41 PM

They hymee sounds really good, heard it for the first time at the Revo last weekend. I have the GReddy SP2 and it is loud with hf cat an no resonator, I would like to hear the hymee with the same setup but it sounds great with the stock cat and resonator.

shinka213 04-28-2005 04:46 PM

thanks guys for all your input....I'll let you know my decision soon.
