Mazdaspeed 3 Mazdaspeede exhaust

paired with the MAzdaspeed CAI, does the Mazdaspeed catback give a noticible gain in Horsepower, ? anyone know?...

also, how loud is the exhaust?, i like the stock Mazdaspeed 3 exhaust, but it is a little too quiet for me


thanks

Ha ha, I just saw the first respose, bitchin. (lol2)

Can anyone offer advice on this though?
 
ummm and with the exhaust madaspeed is only a sound modification beacuse its only a cat back
 
I was under the impression that the Mazdaspeed Exhaust+CAI is around thirty at the wheels? Course, thats only what I've heard.

dkswim, even if it is just a catback its going to help. Not as much as a full turbo back, but turbo cars love to breath, and every little bit helps.
 
Yeah, I heard the MS CAI and the MS CBE was thirty at the wheels too.

My local dealer said that if I get a downpipe and test pipe, I am ok as long as it has the cat on it. Gotta love these guys...
 
my understanding is it come from the CAI and not the CBE. beacuse your restriction is in the cats and the 2.5 exhaust before the CBE.
 
Just get it straight pipe back with 304 ss from the down pipe back w/no cats from Helgie at macon. You should see gains of 22 hp and 40 ft. lbs. of torque. It will set you back about 1500 but it is worth it. And the best part is that you will hear the turbo spool up when you get rid of the stock exhaust w/the resonators. Oh, and don't forget to go with the Toto downpipe

Until I see proof of a "TOTO Downpipe" you are banned in my book.

Not mine....but another member's here.

FWIW, I did notice a slight gain with mine.

I won't bull s*** you and say it's a performance part as much as it's a "fun" part. It's not overbearing or annoyingly loud. It's just throaty. I love it personally and I hate loud cars.

Let me know if you would like to hear my exhaust which is the full TBE from CPE. Just search for it under a exhaust thread. Or check out my user name on youtube, jubanqt.
 
i appreciate it man, i think that mazdaspeed did an awesome job in making the parts for our cars, ....u said that you could "notice a slight gain?" what would that slight gain be?..

i think im going to get this exhaust, it sounds like its not too loud not too quiet, ...

if you could say one thing that helped you the most with performance what would it be?>

It seems to pull a little cleaner to red line. That "after 6 grand drop off" doesn't seem as drop offy.
