RX8 Sports Exhaust

[Phil Dicky]

Thinking of a sports exhaust for the RX8...what are the views and experiences of the masses and any YouTube links would be good too.

Cheers

When I had mine, it really came down to Racing Beat or Borla. I preferred the sound of the Borla, but wasn't willing to inflict the loudness on my neighbours, so I went Racing Beat. In my opinion it sounds and looks how the car should have come from the factory, rather than undeniably aftermarket.

You won't get significant power or torque gains with any of them, but you can have a more sporting sound than Mazda saw fit to give it, at the expense of some refinement. Same with induction changes.

This was mine:

This is a Borla with a k&n typhoon induction kit.

You'll get a lot more info on the RX8 owners club or MRC as there'll be lots more people with experience of them.

I know someone who has one that came off his car recently (neighbours complained) - think it was a Borla. Want me to get details?

ETA - it's a Borla, and warranty ended at the end of 2011. It's currently hanging in his garage unused. If you're interested drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch.

I brought a new Borla from the US to put on mine when I had it.

Quality item which looked good and sounded awesome which decent pops and bangs. Well worth the investment but I know that they are lots of alternatives on ebay etc which are nearly as good.
