As with most of my cars a exhaust change is normally top of my list of early mods to do, after spending sometime searching for exhaust for the 8 I didnt really turn up alot but seem to find more success searching on youtube (with the added bonus of sound)
So could people post pic\'s of their exhaust system and state what brand and what layout ie just back boxes, cat back etc.
Cheers
Judging by all the RX-8\'s we see at events and sell, far and away the most popular system that people put on their RX-8\'s is the 3" bore Racing Beat REV8 cat back system that has nice big outlets seen below, which is a real fit and forget system that you will never replace again
More info is on this link if you want it,

Not a bad start but keep em coming, Id still be interested to see anybody running a JDM brand exhaust as Ive seen afew HKS ones on youtube
Not a very good pic but here\'s my Borla catback. Lovely deep growl when you plant your foot, wouldn\'t be without it now :D

I bought a Magnaflow instead. Loudness is in between the RB and the Borla, fabulous deep smooth sound, it purrrrrrs when idle but sounds like you have a race track under the car when you put the foot down. I am sure I can hear harmonies as I go up the revs!!
I often get people commenting on how good it sounds, whether they are passengers or they just hear me zoom-ing past. :yes
I was going to take a picture of it on my car but it\'s covered in mud atm :o so the manufacturer\'s picture will have to do, just imagine the rest of the car around it :Giggle
Good luck with your search!
All the best,
Crissy
I\'ve got the R3 version of the REV8 on my RX8 with a high flow cat. It\'s rather niiiiiice!
I know this isn\'t an RX8, but this is what I got custom made at JM garage - this is mark 1, it was tweeked :)

Got the idea from this car:
