im getting new exhaust and im leaning towards racing beat after reading their website. im curious what other peoples thoughts are on different exhausts

 

borla for sound, hks hi-power for flow.

rb's stuff is too heavy.

 

Straight pipe. Out to the right.

D

 

Greddy SP2.

Not too loud, not too quiet. Perfect!

 

Borla, is by far the best ive heard. and ive heard alot. is it the most clean sounding exhaust on the 8

 

helix is the best sounding exhaust..they don't make it anymore tho..i have the tanabe ultra medallion exhaust..and it sounds good..has a nice low sound to it..and since i have a 3" midpipe with it..it sounds badass..has an even deeper sound to it..with a growl

 

HKS legamax is just nice..louder than RB but not too loud

 

The Mazdaspeed Dual exhaust is the best rotary-esque sounding one imo. Not too loud like the Greddy, and not too quiet like the RB. Light weight too, and probably the best price out of all of 'em.

If you have $800 or whatever to blow on the HKS then go for that. You might get a good 5 hp or so.

 

Thanks guys i appreciate it. ill look into them all

 

Mazdaspeed dual exhaust has the right size mufflers and I love the sound it makes on city streets, under bridges, and any other place that provides reflecting surfaces. It is like nothing else on the road. Don't pay full retail for it; part cost was $540 including shipping at my nearest dealership.

 

how come some pictures of exhaust show two boxes on either side of the tips and some have 1

 

What do you mean? One muffler vs. two? It's a matter of design, both kinds work similarly.

 

I chose Racing Beat Rev8 because it's not too loud, is very well made and looks great. I assume that you read the aftermarket exhaust summary sticky. Meet up with people who have the different exhaust systems and figure out what will work for you.

Don't get the Mazdaspeed. The welds are shitty and they crack. I'm about to be on my third one unless they give me my money back so I can get something different.

 

After hearing a bunch of these running hard at the Dragon, I like the Corksport sound the best: not as tinny or over-resonated as some. Borla's sound sweet as well.

 

the negative about the borla that I should mention is that due to the way the pipes are structured, one tip gets a bit more flow than the other. As a result if you are blowing minor flames, you'll see them out of one tip more than the other.

 

flames??
id seen flames in a video of one exhaust but i thought it was something they made it do somehow with some part

 

we all can do it. with a stock car you just need to heat up the exhaust system first.

if you run without a cat, then it's very easy, regardless of exhaust.

 

isnt that illegal?

 

illegal to drive your car at 7,000 rpm for a bit, then do some hard driving followed by some engine braking?

uhhh yeah, illegal in 14 states.

 

Have had the HKS Legamax on my 8 for almost 3 years now. Still lovin' it!

 

I love my corksport. Awesome quality and sound. Also affordable. Combined with a midpipe it is loud, but sounds nasty. It sounds fantastic with stock cat as well.

 

I've had both the MS and the RB check out this review for details.
