Check my garage for one or two, but I think my album may have more.

rasp only appears when catless with any exhaust
I'm assuming the stock cat is still installed?

Yes, and I didnt know that. I have heard that some exhausts are Raspy with just the cat-back? Or maybe I heard wrong or they posted the wrong info. But Im starting to think you are right.

yeah usually a non resonated or catless midpipe really unleashes the rotary rasp

So with that exhaust theres no need to weld any of the pieces together, they just bolt up with gaskets then? Is that the same for any after market exhaust for the rx8?

I hope so, my last car I bought an exhaust for had to have the pieces welded together because it came with u-clamps that didnt hold it together.

Got the racing beat exhaust all installed and I must say that I am kind of disappointed that it isn't much louder than the stock setup. May once I get an intake on there it will be a little louder; wasn't really wanting to do a mid-pipe.

Racing Beat describes their exhaust as being an exhaust aimed at a "mature" customer not looking to make a big difference in the loudness of their exhaust. I eventually plan on replacing every bit of the exhaust, so I want a cat-back exhaust that's pretty quiet to help reduce the extra sound from the header and potentially greater sound from a mid-pipe (depending on what hardware combination I go with). If I were just planning on doing the cat-back, I would probably want something a bit louder than Racing Beat's exhaust.

I'm not quite sure on how much I want to mod...I am still breaking in the engine per racing beats instructions so I am not going above 4k rpm. Maybe once I start going above that the sound will get louder???

^ As Chibana cited Racing Beat specifically designed their exhaust to not be much louder than stock, but rather a deeper tone. If you just wanted loud you chose poorly.

Didn't say that I wanted to be loud, just expected something different. First rotary car...previous cars were an 06 speed6 and 08 Evo X.

Yeah, will be a little bit louder when you're able to get above 4k......but not a lot.
Like was said.....tone is deeper.

Oh, I must have misread.

"Got the racing beat exhaust all installed and I must say that I am kind of disappointed that it isn't much louder than the stock setup. Maybe once I get an intake on there it will be a little louder; wasn't really wanting to do a mid-pipe."

Thanks for being so observant. Not going to get into a pissing match with you…I was warned by others about people on this site; thanks for being the first one to prove it.
