Racing Beat RX8 Dual Exhaust

DESCRIPTION

The Racing Beat RX8 cat-back exhaust system is the perfect replacement for your stock RX-8 exhaust - a durable assembly offering a real horsepower gain over your stock unit. All 304 stainless steel for long term RX8 exhaust performance. Very mild sound. This is just a slight increase in sound from the stock RX8 exhaust and a little deeper in tone.

SHIPPING NOTE: This is a double oversized box...too large for foreign post office orders. This item ships direct from Racing Beat and Racing Beat gets backed up a little in the Spring so expect that shipping delays are the norm on this item in the Spring. SORRY, DOES NOT FIT 2009!

Sound Quality

Takayuki Oku, Racing Beat's co-founder and chief exhaust designer, has spent considerable time and effort in an attempt to fine-tune the internal canister design of this RX8 muffler canister to provide what he believes is the ultimate rotary exhaust note!!! As he notes, "A little bit of my blood, sweat, and soul is in everyone of these RX-8 mufflers!" During development of the exhaust he worked extensively to find the optimum balance between power and sound level. Too much sound dampening would rob power; too little dampening would bring the exhaust note up to unacceptable levels.

Just what is "unacceptable"? We assume that an individual that has purchased a RX-8 is seeking an exhaust note that reflects the character of both the RX8 and the maturity of the RX8 owner. The exhaust note that we envision for this car should provide a modest sound level increase over stock, but any harsh or "tinny" tones should be suppressed. Cruising speeds should not produce any droning or buzzing tones, but provide a deep melodic tone that doesn't distract from the driving experience. But, jump on the throttle and the exhaust should come alive with an aggressive note that enhances the driving experience. Refined and modest while cruising; aggressive and authoritative under acceleration - that is the balance that Racing Beat strived to achieve!
