anyone with intake+highflow cat?
anyone here have this setup with the stock exhaust? i really don't want my car to be loud but i do want a little more hp. i just installed my re intake yesterday and the sound is addicting. i just don't wanna drive around sounding like a rice rocket. i want my car to be quiet until i get on it.

I had this configuration for a while (intake and high flow cat). The sound was fine. I too was concerned about the "ricey" sound but did have a problem. I had the RP cat which I will reccomend.
I say go for it.

I'm still waiting to install my high flow cat but I have the Revi and Ram air. I plan on making sound clips before and after. I wouldn't mind posting them up, but I'll have to find a place to host it.
I bought from RX8store. Check out this thread - https://www.rx8club.com/rx8store-62/midpipe-highflo-cat-pricing-80014/

If so I hope your perception of loud is quieter than mine. I don't need extra attention.

i don't mind being loud at WOT. but cruising and partial throttle i want it to be as close to stock as possible. when you say loud as hell please tell me it's only at WOT.

Oh and I have leaner AFR mixtures up top, so that might contribute too.

ok so it's safe to say that it isn't loud when cruising. i really don't care how loud it is when it's WOT but i just want to be quiet normal driving.

I have the Revi w/air duct, Magnaflow cat back and the S&R high flow cat plus a resonator and I set off car alarms way before I get to the cars.I'm actually considering selling my exhaust or h/f cat.I'm gonna see if I can have another muffler or resonator installed somewhere to minimize the sound some.

It resonates the raspiness sounds away, but does not muffle. Feel better now?
Like any true resonance system, it has to be tuned specifically for the entire exhaust system used or it will likely not be effective ... people using the MS dual-can exhaust are reporting boom despite having the OE resonator in place
Resonator
The function of the resonator is to remove exhaust resonance or "boom" at particular engine loads without restricting exhaust gas flow affecting engine performance.
