best catback?

I look at getting a catback for my stock rx-8 so far i've looked at hks-hipower, turbo xs, agency power, and greddy. Looking for opinions from people who have had any of these exhausts on tone quality and loudness. Thanks.

yeah i've looked on youtube but you can't really tell how loud they and somepeople have other mods ex. intake headers race pipe, that change the sound
and ferg if you still have that carbon fiber hood i'd be willing to take it off your hands

I really like my Mazdaspeed exhaust with the RB Midpipe. Check my sig for sound.

lmao btw as far as the 8 is considered im pretty sure my intake didnt effect the sound of my catback so when you look on you tube it shouldnt be a problem .. headers and midpipes do though

Hks is the way to go

You can get this bad boy for around 450$, which is cheap compared to the others and it sounds bad ***, see for yourself.

I bought my car with flowmaster already equiped. Good luck finding a video of that haha. I really like it though. I don't have the retarded low end pop pop, but still get the nice explosion at redline. Bit loud though. After about 2 hours I get sick of the noise. *shrugs*

oh god.. enough with the exhaust threads already.

it all comes down to preference. if you haven't found videos on youtube, you haven't searched hard enough. the best way for you to get a good idea of what you want is to go to your local meets.

Borla is another to look at that has one of the best sounding tones I think.

AP and HKS are also other great choices.

Umm, the retarded low end pop means it flows well, congrats on buying the retarded low flow one instead
