Don't Know what exhaust to get for my 8
#6
whoa, are the S1 tips the same size as the R1? how loud is it? Im torn between the racing beat Rev8 or the ExoticSpeed R1-T. im worried the R1 will be loud and annoying and the 4" tips will burn the rear surrounds but i cant help but love it....its a friggin peice of artwork. almost a shame to hide it under a car. lol.

mazda speed is nice yes.....buuuuut the MS i waaaay more expensive than others.....sorry to not follow the borg but i checked out a ton.....the ms went up in price.....and the competitors went down as they realize that it is not a necessary part but a luxury part....that said you can negotiate with performance shops and they give you cash deals...if you go into a dealer for ms they look at you while they leaf through thier "cost" book and lick thier lips......sorry but thats my story and i am sticking to it....and warranty...ummm come on its an exhaust if it rusts everyone will replace it...if it falls off they will cover you.....other than that unless you use it to fish or keep it in a salt bath...ps apex i is a nice exhaust imo....oh boy am i gonna get the girls going on this one....

Dude simple answer....unless you go catlesss, you are only going to get about 3.5 hp from a catback exhaust. So its really no HP difference just like someone mentioned before its more of a sound/luxury buy, me personally just bought exhaust tips as i liked the stock exhaust sound, and i only wasted $80. But if you are willing to spend its simple, Either #1 Borla w/ Million mile warranty and its lighter than Racing Beat or #2 Racing Beat

apex 1 installed----700 cash
greddy installed--- 850 cash
hks installed ------1500 cash
ms 1300 plus tax plus atleast 1 hour of labour @90(orso)--1570 debit or visa
i actually bought one of these and the prices come from the same shop while i was shown the three different types i have listed and quoted on....research done..i am tired now need nap.
reply only in the form of deep thought

Honestly I think you should stick to paintballing as your rear license bracket states.
I cant believe your spaming your FAILSIDE POS RX8 in our sub forum. I went through the Winning Blue thread and saw your posts.
One, I'm impressed that you decide to finally use the regular font.
Two, your explanation in the Winning Blu thread for not going power mods was because YOU HAVE AN AUTOMATIC 8!!!
IF your gonna tell someone not to do something, and follow you, at least give them the real damn reasons.
The reason most of us go exhausts on our cars, because in the stock form the car sounds too nimble. G35s, 350Z have an amazing stock exhaust, not our cars. You want to give the 8 more of a growl. We all known about the minimal gains of the exhaust.
And regarding the midpipe, I have never met you OP. But regarding where you fall in with respect to demographics of the sports car drivers, you may or you may not get caught. I know if I was running a true midpipe, I would be pulled over and get into a lot more **** often.
Also, without proper tuning a midpipe is not too great, since your ECU is still dumping that extra fuel into the CAT it thinks is there, and also you CAR WILL REEK, might bother you might not, but the GTA 8 drivers hate driving behind me.
ZumnRX8, I really hope we don't see more you guys as the 8 continues to depreciate.

To be honest, the only reason I, and I bet most of the GTA guys did the MS exhaust was because it was cheap last year thanks to the dropping dollar of the US at the time. But now everything is back up in price.
If you can, I would go custom, since its unique, and would be handbuilt, the MS is not, Racing Beat is however.
Or I would search the For Sale forum, looking for a used one. At the end of the day, its just an exhaust, used or new it shoul perform the same.

Me like cash deals.... asians love cash!!!
Were you mimicking Oliver Jewelry? sorry I pulled a dumb moment
I went with the MS Exhaust because it is a lighter weight than the stock, and for sure lighter weight than Racing Beat. I went knowing there won't be much HP gains. I also like the slightly larger exhaust tips and the sound is just right for me...
Sound is a very subjective matter. Choose the one that sounds right for you... like choosing women..
