Thanks boys. Once I find a nice exhaust system for it, I want to put one on. It needs that rotary sound.

So many choices in exhaust...me I loved the Racing Beat....not too loud, but a nice deep unmistakable rotary sound.



The Greddy SP2 exhaust is really nice too.



Borla is good as well.



Those are only ones I have heard in person that I liked.....

Yeah, the Borla and Racing Beat are US companies...the Greddy is available over there...I know of at least 2 guys with RX8's down under that have them in their cars.....

Enjoy it! I know I love mine as a daily driver. I'm starting to want to put an exhaust on mine too, mostly to reduce backpressure, but I'll probably have to wait until the warranty expires before dad allows it.

Girlpowerrx8 09-15-2005 10:47 AM

Greddy, ok I'll have a look around the local shop's and see what I can get. If not, i'll probably have to go to sydney and see what I can get there.

Congrats! I actually drove an 04 today. First time driving it, I fell in love with the handling. It was just so tight, I am thinking about selling my Jeep once this employee pricing craph goes away, and get an 05-06. Something to seriously consider.



But, it was a nice ride, and I drove a yellow one. And this yellow one was brand new, had only 210 miles on it. The manager offered me 4k under the invoice cost. Which is a HUGE savings.

so jen....

treceb 09-16-2005 08:53 AM

brand new a year ago. i think yellow is a 04 color only and since it hasnt sold, thats why the "deep" discount. id have all the service bulletins taken care of before buying it.
