Hey guys so we got a prototype of our single exit drift style exhaust made today and I just wanted to get your opinions on how it looked. I have some video clips too that I'll post up tomorrow. It is a little louder than our dual exhaust but not until about 3000. It is very quiet at idle. And it's not obnoxious loud either, it sounded great to us!

Oh and no official numbers but I can say it is much lighter than a dual exhaust.

Anyway let me know what you think of the looks.

Nice! I've been looking for an exhaust like this

 

Hmmmm, I like it. I miss my HKS single side. This would go nicely with my new turbo and engine Any plans on offering a Ti tip?

My only suggestion would be to straighten it a bit, it turns a little too outboard for me. But not a deal breaker.

 

hmm..... honestly i dont really like it, im not really diggin how the "can" is visible...

maybe if just the exhaust tip visible and more straight as 9k said.

 

I want one like this!

 

^^^ Damn that looks pretty sexy with the shrouds gone.

 

I'm interested to see what the exhaust looks like uninstalled...

 

^ That's gay, who is going to mutilate their rear bumper for that ****. It has to be something marketable.

 

Too much angle on the muffler Is the exhaust is 3"? Def post some vids!

BTW anyone notice whose car that is?

 

The angle is a bit extreme IMO.


Also is the canister touching the plastic? It looks to me like it'll melt the **** out of the shroud after you put some miles on it, even more so if you're catless.

 

Me!

 

We were thinking that the can might need to be moved about 1/4" to the passenger side, and there was about a finger size gap all around except the bottom, but you can trim away enough material so it has enough gap as well.

The prototype there only used 65mm tubing, how important would it be to go 75mm? Our dual exhaust currently uses 65mm, including the mid-pipe.

Honestly, many will say a 3" system is better but even guys that are turbocharged are making just as much horsepower running 2.25" and 2.50" exhaust systems.

 

I thought it was going to be 75mm?

Cutting inside the shroud is no big deal and has to be done with a few exhausts so that should be of no concern.

 

I agree with moving the can over a quarter inch, looks a little too pushed to the side along with a possible ti tip and I'm sold

 

Nice wheels Andrew.

 

I'm not terribly impressed...

If I were going to design a single side exhaust for the RX8, I would want it to stand out less than the original. That way it wouldn't call attention to the fact that the other tip is missing...

Or maybe just a new shroud without the hole for the opposite side?

 

NO go for me, I like the two muffler look, like my Magnaflow!!!

 

Those are nice wheels!

 

Any sound clips on this yet? Maybe with the midpipe too?

 

YES looking forward to hearing it!

 

Ti tip option~

 

Updates? I'm super interested in this. =O

 

if you can make it lighter than the hks single i may go for this one

 

Gunna have to agree with everyone here, I would straighten it out more and maybe lengthen the outlet so less of the canister is showing.
