Wrong section. Repost. And you are asking about something that is completely subjective. I would have to say Mazdaspeed though, or JIC Spartan.

At any rate, borla is the best sounding. Here's the exhaust on my car when I was almost stock:

rx8boy: I will give you credit for actually looking up all those sound clips but a quick search on here would have revealed the "exhaust exhaust exhaust" thread.

Not sure how much time you've spent on these forums researching our car but one thing you'll notice is that unlike big block'd cars, we don't see that big of an improvement with catback exhauts. It will come down to your personal preference on which you like the sound of the most.

I personally like the Racing Beat because it's very mellow at idle but under heavy acceleration, you can definitely tell it's not stock.

Supergoat on here bought it just to see what it sounded like, said he wasn't expecting it to be any good and had a bit of money to spend so he gave it a shot and liked it quite well...

Here is the thread... The sound clip is in there somewhere I believe

I almost threw down on one the other day, Couldn't make up my mind though. I just want a little more of that rotarty sound when I get on it, not the obnoxious ricer sound. Not sure if the OBX would be good for that.
