I've been looking for an exhaust upgrade, mostly for sound, not looking to add a ton of power. I found these on eBay and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

They are priced way below anything else I've seen and I was curious on quality/performance of them.

 

sorry to disappoint ya but no exhaust is gonna give you a ton of power not on the rx8 you'll be lucky to get 7hp out of a catback, and I really doubt they are legit. If anything look for the turbo xs exhaust really low on price and you still get a quality item.

 

I am about to do my exhaust as well. I had seen that one But after a couple months of research I am just going to bit the bullet and by a Exotic Speed SII. It is the only exhaust I personally like the sound of. Plus it IS covered by a warranty. it's 4 times the price, but at least I KNOW what I am getting.

 

Those 2 descriptive traits never actually go together.

 

those tips will likely melt your shrouds... assuming they even remotely line up

 

Yeah, just bide your time and save up for something nice. Spend your time researching and listening to various brands. I waited to get an agency power catback and it sounded sweet.

 

Jesus you people are soft... What happened to being internet badasses?

 

Cause we rotary ppl are family and gotta help others from doing terrible things to their cars, especially rx's

 

Don't listen to these whimps... they probably run for cover if it rains hard ... They're afraid someone will get a good deal that they wouldn't have dared to take... live life large.

Beside, I'm not so sure is so bad...I mean for a couple hundred you're not risking much. That's peanuts and nothing like the $500-1000 of others. And many of those don't last long, bad welds, rusted pipes, etc. Wonder how those peps felt when their expensive junk crapped a big one?

In fact, this looks about like my CorkSport exhaust I've had for what? Like 6 yrs.... The tips are exactly the same, no shroud melting, the cans are similar. I'd say what ta hey... why not!

 

The only cheap exhaust I recommend is the OBX as it is a Fujitsubo Legalis R copy and sounds almost exactly like it. Quality is decent too. Ive had three, one on each 8, and have never had a problem.

 

^ i love my RR single, which was cheap. $350 shipped.

 

Those are some ugly exhaust tips (no pun intended)

 

I am about to do my exhaust as well.

 

be the genii pig!

 

You often get what you pay for. When you buy from ebay, you often don't even get what you paid for.

Shop around. There are always part outs with good deals on good exhausts.

If you want to be cheap, buy Race Roots knock-off of the HKS Hi-Power. At least you'll have someone to bitch to if it isn't what you expected.

 

What the eff is a genii pig? I get that genii is plural for genie, but that make your sentence make less sense.

 

turboxs exhaust is $500 and comes with cat back and race pipe. sounds like a great deal to me.

 

Obviously $500 is far too expensive if he's looking at something with a BIN of $210

 

i don't really see why there would be a rush to get an aftermarket exhuast :/ unless he told someone he already had it. heheh, and if two bills is the limit, then modifying cars isn't really a good hobby for this person.

I was going to get an exotic speed cat-back, but i was growing impatient and money was getting tight so I actually installed this exhaust instead and an agency power midpipe a few weeks ago, i cant say how it sounds with the stock cat, but i can say that it hasn't rubbed or burned my shrouds so far and i LOVE how it sounds, has a nice deepish tone to it (once again, not sure how it sounds with a stock midpipe).
