HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I'm running it with the stock cat, and it's relatively loud, but not obnoxious. I haven't heard it compared to the borla though. My wife can hear me from about a quarter mile a way if she's outside and I get on it. At idle and just cruising, it's fairly tame. I haven't had any trouble with it or any unwanted attention. It is not raspy at all and doesn't bellow as much as say a Greddy SP2. It's actually only a tad louder than an SP2, so if you've heard one, you can get an idea for sound.

OHLINS MAS-MI00S1 Road & Track Coilover Suspension for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I use the Ohlins coilovers on my RX8, which is mainly used for street use and I found the standard spring rates to be too soft in the rear but the fronts to be fine. I changed my rear springs to about 350lbs/in and it feels pretty good to me now.
A well-placed orange accent does more for a build than a wall of matching parts ever could. Used selectively, it introduces warmth and visual contrast. That contrast draws the eye to details you’ve actually thought about: a fastener head in the engine bay, a shift knob in the cabin, or a finishing touch on the exterior. The key is choosing where the colour lands. Also, make sure each component earns its place on function as much as finish.
Every part in this range should be assessed on its practical merit first. Colour is a finishing decision, not a substitute for correct fitment, material quality and suitability for the position. For example, a fastener needs the right thread and torque rating. Meanwhile, a shift knob needs the right thread pitch and a feel worth reaching for on every gear change.
When a component meets those requirements and also carries the right finish, it genuinely completes a build rather than adding noise to it.
The strongest accent builds usually settle on one or two areas. However, spreading a single accent colour across every corner of the car tends to dilute the effect. Decide early whether your warm-toned detail lives inside the cabin, under the bonnet or on the exterior. Then select components that share a consistent finish within that zone.
In addition, pay attention to how each piece is finished as well as its colour. Mixing anodised aluminium with painted plastic or powder-coated steel in the same hue can create an unintended patchwork effect. Finally, check back as new orange RX8 parts are added to this range.

Orange accents on an RX8 most commonly appear as interior details such as shift knobs, seat hardware or trim pieces, engine-bay components like oil caps or dress-up covers, and exterior finishing touches including valve caps or tow hooks. Availability depends on what manufacturers produce for the RX8 platform.
The most effective colour builds use a small number of deliberate accent points rather than matching every component. Choose one or two high-visibility areas, such as the cabin or engine bay, and keep orange consistent with the surrounding materials and finishes for a cohesive result.
Orange works best as a contrast accent alongside neutral base colours like black, grey or white, and can complement existing wheel finishes or exterior graphics. Before committing, consider the dominant tones already on your car to make sure the orange detail feels intentional rather than mismatched.
Function should always come first. Before selecting any orange-accented component, confirm that its material, fitment and intended purpose suit the position on your car. A part that looks great but does not meet the practical requirements of that location is the wrong choice regardless of colour.
