The definition is harder to understand than the term being defined.
Examples
(i) Someone is lascivious if and only if he is wanton.
(The term being defined is "lascivious". But the meaning of the term "wanton" is just as obscure as the term "lascivious". So this definition fails to elucidate.)
(ii) An object is beautiful if and only if it is aesthetically successful.
(The term "aesthetically successful" is harder to understand than the term "beautiful".
Proof
Identify the term being defined. Identify the conditions in the definition. Show that the conditions are no more clearly defined than the term being defined.

I was merely asking to what "the quiet one" referred.
Are you asking about an aftermarket exhaust that is quieter than stock? To my knowledge all the aftermarket exhausts available for the RX-8 (other than something custom made to be extremely quiet) are louder than stock. Mine is probably the quietest of the bunch.

They will be making it as a regular production model.
I think it is quieter than the other aftermarket systems, but a little louder than stock with a different tone.
I am awaiting a call from Spintech to do some dyno tests.

I just wanted to post a couple of video clips that I took of my 8 getting some dyno time after the installation of my RX8Store Exhaust. They were originally digital video that I transferred into an mpeg, so the video quality isn't the greatest but you'll enjoy the sounds I'm sure.
Jason & Xavier from the RX8Store as well as Sea Ray (all the way from Kentucky) were there for the fun. Special thanks to RX-8Freehk who put these into a format that the forum would take. There is one more video that is still trying to make it's way back from Germany where Freehk is at but enjoy these for now.

Here are some MP3's I recorded of the Hymee Catback.
Start and Idle with a small throttle blip (521KB)
Short drive with windows down (738KB)
Start, bigger throttle blips, 1st gear drive by (917KB)
Best to "Save As..." them to your hard drive.
And there is before and after dyno tests on this thread:

Hey guys< I am about to order the Borla system. It appears to me for cost $600 roughly and performance which is a supposed 12hp gain I read in another post it make sense. The fact that borla exhaust sounds deep and throaty I love the idea. Please can anyon etell me otherwise? Chime in please!

I would be very dubious of any catback system that claims 12HP! There is honestly not that much there to be gained.
BTW - Here is a pic of the recent Rotary Engine Track Day:
There are 7 RX-8's in the photo, and 4 of them have the my Hymee Enhanced "Cat Back".
We measured one of these at an honest 2kW which is about 3HP. That is in-line with what Racing Beat claim for theirs.
Cheers,
Hymee.

On it there is an entry for the RX8store exhaust.
Click on "more info" to see it.
If you want to HEAR it, I have bad news.
Unfortunately the link to the sound file does not work any more. I assume that RX8store has removed it from their server, but I don't know.
