ULLLOSE

iTrader: (1)

Used a Borla XR-1 multi-core muffler and a Borla stainless steel U bend as the outlet. Needs to be cleaned up. Buts its very light (17lbs from the cat back), looks stock enough to not draw attention, and is not obnoxiously loud.

Pretty clean, has your shroud shown any burn marks?

None with this setup. On the first try, back in 2005, I made the tip a bit short and it got a little hot. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/single-side-exhaust-59424/

titanium jic setup, with the rear part cut out.
you could do it with any/most exhaust, apexi,hks,exoticspeed....

Roy1989

what do u mean by the rear part cut out? i find titantium jic is all dual. there is not single.

I think I know what Chad meant. If you look closely at the exhaust, you'll notice the weld at the bends and the ring that's around the canister probably have custom hangers.

look up jic magic spartan 505 titanium and bring it to a reputable muffler guy.

Roy1989

hey chad thanks, i get what u mean.

jic magic spartan 505 titanium only has exhaust for subaru evo n all, so we must get some one to custom it into rx8?

Chad D.

Any reputable muffler shop could do that.

So everytime I see the JIC Magic pics I want to do that more and more, the only issue is I have been searching for mufflers for the past hour and a half or so and can't decide on one that I like more...here's the ones I have it narrowed down to, what do ya'll think?

Megan Racing GT


A'Pexi N1


Blitz Nur-Spec (My brother has this cat-back on his 240 and it doesn't sound too bad IMO)

awwqpwwa

With as hot as the rx gets. I'd overlook the Megan.

Just buy an HKS Hi-power and be done with it.

I've had zero issues with mine. no bumper burning, shrouds melting, or ash/exhaust stains on the bumper.


Or you could cheap out and get the Race Roots knock off that doesn't sound as good.

Note taken

Visually I like how the JIC setup looks, I know that adding an exhaust isn't gonna mess with the performance of the 8 that much so I'm looking more at visual appeal. HKS sells the Hi-Power muffler itself as a universal and I don't see the sound being too different from what the cat back sounds like and I do like the sound of the HKS so I may go with that an get it welded on like the JIC setup.

Ive had the Hi power for like 3 years, its lightweight, easy to remove, and sounds like ***.

What more do you want?

i know im a year late but still wanted to see what you guys think i recently did this custom inspired by that jic rx8 .

Mr_Pieper

Did somebody mention ***?

nice wheel setup!

iTrader: (15)

sorry buddy, but that car is an abortion. Get rid of the wing, get rid of the wheels, and the angle of your exhaust is just bad....

chino0314

iTrader: (12)

Agreed

palf138

Thanks for your opinion ill take everything into consideration. im getting new wheels and coilovers next spring the exhaust is not completely done yet so i guess angle needs fixing and wing came with the car when i bought it. i dont like taking it off because of those holes in the trunk. So until i find a trunk at a decent price im going to keep using it.
