I'm going to be getting a new exhaust system for my 8 near the end of spring. I've just been wondering what are the big differences between the MAZDASPEED exhaust and the Borla exhaust. I'm kinda looking for an exhaust that will give me a little more power and sound great, but not having to worry about sacrificing mpg.

Thanks

It all depends on the sound you want. Neither has a benefit over the other one.
Your not going to gain any power to speak of. And your not going to lose any mpg. Unless of course you keep in the throttle to hear the sound more often.

BORLA is the way to go. and as a plus it comes with a 1,000,000 mile warranty. I have had my borla exhaust over 2 years and i still love it and never had any problems.. GO BORLA!

the borla is great. from what i've read, the mazdaspeed and borla are relatively similar in sound characteristics compared to the many others.

I vote for the Mazdaspeed "Sport". I installed it when I got the car. Really nice at cruise and idle. Great at WOT. The Borlas I had are fine but sometimes a little to lord at cruising RPM.
My $ 0.02 worth.

yea thats what i think i'm going to do since i already have the mazdaspeed CAI so i figure the exhaust would be best for that

Go with Borla, sounds great! and when cruising is pretty quiet, I personally like hearing some sound so im always going a little fast but its the greatest sound from the borla!
