Hey every one this is my first post. iv had an rx8 for about 4 mounths but its naw time for a few mods im ganna start with a cat back exhaust, but iv been back and forth on the right one. im not looking for some thing thats got a low sound but as u get up into the higher rpm's it get louder. just wondering if any one has some thing in mind.

actually the hks single exhaust is one of the loudest you can buy for the car at all rpms... Turbo XS is stupid loud... and borla isn't even considered amongst serious track racers... The greddy sp2 is quiet throughout if you want an opinion based on experience.

hks single is too loud at all rpms. but if you want max flow, it's a good choice. Unfortunately IMO the exhaust sounds terrible.

I don't care for racing beats exhausts because they're so similar to stock. Don't they weight more too?

borla has the nicest exhaust note, but I don't care for how the pipes are arranged.

I have the hks legamax right now, but am not sure if i'm going to keep it. I won't know till my turbo is back on, if it sounds like I want it to or not.

see the video link in my sig - I have examples of several different exhaust systems.

lol drunk was the operative last night, and annoyed was a better description. You were wrong about HKS tho

Racing beat is a good altenative but the rev8 is heavvvvvvvvy.
