I am looking for a true 3in. exhaust to put on my rx-8 and do not want a loud ricey sound. Also what would be a recommended resonated midpipe for these systems? I saw that racing beat has a midpipe but its not resonated so i found the rx8store midpipe, would anyone recommend or know if this works with either system?

thanks again...by the way this is my first post and i have a 05 velocity red 6 speed RX-8 in South Jersey

I have an RP Supercat + extra resonator and an RB exhaust on my car. It sounded great NA which is why I bought that particular combo. Quiet at cruise, opens up with a heavier foot. The RB exhaust is kind of heavy, but quality. I've since gone turbo and melted the cat. The car is almost stock quiet now and I have to pull the cat out.

So, I recommend the RB Exhaust having owned one. I can't say what midpipe to combo it with. I also have not listened to the borla much.

Check the stickied Exhaust thread for more info about both. Both are good selections and compare well. I love my Borla and it has a deeper, more distinctive (IMHO) note than the RB. It also does well keeping quiet when I need it to be tho people will hear it no matter what you're doing.

I've got some vids with crappy sound comparing stock w/Borla here:

In terms of midpipes both will have an annoying drone with anything short of the dual resonated midpipe. Jon316 has had the RB with a midpipe and removed it. mysql had the Borla with midpipes and complained of annoying drone. If you're planning on daily driving with a midpipe (which is illegal almost everywhere) that's apparantly about the only route you can take N/A unless you turbo. FI, ironically, makes your exhaust quieter so you may be able to get away with a single resonated midpipe or supercat.

The RB connecting pipe expands from a 2.5 inch flange. so it's not really a true 3 inch catback.

I'm thinking of selling my Borla...let me know if you want to go this direction.

Since you are in jersey you should come to our meets.. we have quite a few people there with Borla's and Racing Beats exhausts.. in addition to others. It's every Tuesday at the Starbucks on Route 17N.

yea ill have to get up the meets...the only problem with that is that i live in Cape May County....around exit 13 of the G.S.P. so it would be quite a drive but it would be worth it to check out the exhausts

Cant go wrong either way. I personally went Borla and wouldnt trade it for anything.

RB! Wouldn't want it any other way!

Borla is good if you stay stock.

add a mid pipe and it's too loud.

RB is your best bet.

also...i saw the Agency Power exhaust...i had a Scion tC and the Agency Power for the tC sounded great....would the Agency Power be an option along with Borla and Racing Beat? opinions please....

i maybe plan on going turbo, thats why im looking for an exhaust that will help me from just having a CAI and full exhaust now to perhaps going turbo, thanks for all the help everyone
