im looking at a new exhaust and im wanting to do a rotor shaped muffler but i am unaware of the performance or sound quality of them.im also curious of how this will look on my fb if anyone has one id be interested in opinions.

From what I've heard, they're like the regular RB universal mufflers, but louder.

With mufflers, rule of thumb is the more you pay the better the quality.
Lots of cheap-ass Made-in-China crap is flooding the market, especially in the import scene.
Price out a Borla muffler, and you'll see what I mean...

Exoticspeed makes some rotor shaped mufflers. Not sure what all they fit.

I have exoticspeed rotor tip exhaust on my rx8.... sounds great but its been on my car less than a year andhas started rusting.... luckily its under waranty so I'm hoping the company will help me out. I'm not even sure if they make an exhaust for 7s or not just thought I'd give my input

^------ Her exhaust looks good. It doesn't stand out as much as you think. You can see the tip in her sig. Have any more pics mel?

As for as those exhausts are concerned, It all depends on the internal design, not the tip. If it is straight through, its obviously going to be louder. Whats just if not more important for overall sound quality is the resonator in the middle of the exhaust.

FcRx8MEL · 02-17-2011, 02:11 PM

Here's some pictures of mine... Like I said it sounds great, just hasn't lasted so well.

^ Good looking exhaust MEL.

project86 · 02-17-2011, 05:31 PM

^^^ +1 maybe you should post some vids of revving or something so we can hear Mel

FcRx8MEL · 02-17-2011, 11:59 PM

I would except I don't have any and the exhaust is actually off my car currently being shipped back to the company to be replaced due to the rusting tips. But as soon as I get it back and on the car I definitely will... hopefully it won't take to long

Mateepay · 02-18-2011, 12:01 AM

Mel dope exhaust I'm going to be putting a rb collecter on my 83 putting a rb presilencer and the muffler used on the furai possibly. I have a his high drag muffler but it's too ricey looking for me.

Ted appreciate the imput the riced out huge loud exhaust is what I'm trying to stray from..

Thanks for the help on Ideas. Still wondering if there's any fb on the forum running the furai muffler

PercentSevenC · 02-18-2011, 08:52 PM

I like that FB.... I think the RB exhuast looks magnificent on the Furai, but on an FB it just looks out of place (shape wise) maybe if I was like that RX-8 one where the rotor shape is hollow I would like it more, but with the small circular exit it just looks odd....

At least it sounds great though!!!
