rx8 Stock Exhaust Vs JIC Full Ti catback

Video is when I first got the JIC put on, pops seemed to get less frequent (or I was getting used to them) as the exhaust got broken in however still gave its fair share. This is the full titanium system (not ss).

I currently have the mazdaspeed cai which gives it a complete different sound, much throatier. Will upload a threeway comparison soon. After that, I plan on throwing away some money on the racingbeat or exoticspeed header and will in turn post a four way comparison. Yes I know, the RB header isn't out yet but should be soon...

Low video qual but 192kbps audio

JIC full ti isn't much louder than OEM with the OEM midpipe. The system in itself is actually fairly quiet compared to some of the others on the market.

To the geniuses preaching of "the Wankel engine" - I know about rotary cars. These were not cold starts -> cold shut off. No, the 09's did not fix this issue, the primary "fix" was a larger battery and a better educated buyer.

@mpalm887 actually it is, most exhausts sound more high pitched even without the midpipe. The stainless/titanium version sound alike, first RX8 I test drove had one. Although I agree that it is alot of money pay for a sound!

[mpalm887]

The sound really isn't that exclusive. It's the engineering and weight loss you really pay money for here.

[rx8jeT]

this is true..but no so with the 09 and newer ones, my dealer machanic just returned from a mazda sponsered school and thats what he told me. the engine was reworked a lot more than people think. anyway thats what he told me,

[Peterkallman]

You should NEVER do like that with a Wankel engine!!!!!!!!!!! never start and shout down the Wankel engine.. You killing the Rx-8 and the engine!
