What else do i need to make it sound nicer & louder?

Hey guys .. as my car now modded with Racingbeat exhaust , RP Supercat Midpipe only and im still running stock intake and stock header..im thinking to change both of this to make my car sound AWESOME when i redline them..

Any of you guys have similiar set up as mine ? Which header and intake system matches my setup above? im thinking of racingbeat intake system but not sure about the header though .. any answer will be much appreciated..thanks!

I believe Racing Beat exhaust is actually one of the quietest exhausts made for the Rx8 so getting a different exhaust would be a start. As far as for what intake.. IMHO AEM/MazdaSpeed CAI are the way to go, they have a great sound to em also.

Dang krazed you beat me to the punch. Lol

+1 on new exhaust. If you want loud go with full agency power catback or hks hi power.

As for intake I have a racing beat revi intake. It has a deep tone but nice. K&N is also loud it's up to you what kind of sound your looking for tho.

Punch a hole in your exhaust or remove and leave the O2 bung out, this will give you the sound you want.

What is AEM ? You meant Re-Amemiya? Since i purchase this exhaust long time ago so im thinking to replace stock intake and header for a louder type..so it would be even and i dont like it too loud .. loud and nice would be just perfect haha..

The racing beat exhaust is nice dont get me wrong.. but it is one of the quietest exhausts out there for the Rx8. You'll have no problem finding a louder one... look up the hks hi power exhaust.

I wouldn't say to much louder but it will change the tone and have better airflow.

Yes changing your header will make your car louder as well, which one are you looking into?
