Title: Fleabay exausts
Post by: terry200sx on June 08, 2008, 10:18:34 PM
Hi all
 
Im new here guys so bear with me:wave
 
 
Im getting an rx8 next week and would like to buy a subtle exhaust system for it.  I had a look at those ones on fleabay about 300 quid and was just wondering if there any good (been stung with cheap manifolds in the past on my 200sx :reallymad) or will they just fall apart?
 
Im looking for something not to loud just a good roar to it.
 
ANy suggestions
 
Cheers terry200sx

I have a racing beat on my 7 which is nice a quite when pottering around but has a fantastic roar when pushed.

Got any links? Are they XSP/SSA ones?
Turbo cars are (relatively) easy to make exhausts for - jsut bung the biggest bit of tubing you can to maximise flow.  But i would have thought for an NA car like the \'8 you\'d need to be mroe choosy?

Also, all the Cheap ones for tubbed cars i\'ve heard sound absolutely crap - like a swarm of bees is shouting at you through a megaphone. With some things with exhausts, which can make sucha  difference, I really do think you get what you pay for.

We have HKS Legamax that we got of ebay, pops and bangs like anything with cat still on. We compared it to the cheaper ones and the quality is so much better on the HKS one. Only cost £250 more

Thats exactly what i dont want.  Im after something that doesnt sound to loud for daily driving ( i do a bit of motorway to work) but sounds good when letting it rip.
 
If any of you have heard what a mongoose system on a 200sx s13 sounds like then thats exactly what i want.  More of a tone to it rather than a tinny rasp.
