dyzvietnikka said:
i plan on buying a new catback for my car, but the confusion of protege5, msp and regular protege, would the exhaust fit or is there a big difference and i have to get certain ones?
im interested in this exhaust, but uncertain if it will fit my mazda protege lx 2003 2.0l auto tranny.

The protege5 exhaust is shorter than the sedans, you need to find one for a sedan. How about these?

Find an exhaust and tip that you like, then take it down to a local exhaust shop and have them weld on a custom cat-back. Most of the time it's cheaper than buying one premade from a company. In my opinion, the magnaflow sounds superb.

if that tsudo exhaust for the p5 too short to fit on a sedan, is it possible to bring it to a muffler shop and let them put it and and custom fit it in by adding some pipings make it longer and fit or would other parts of the car be in the way and that isn't possible at all?

Yes, a muffler shop should be able to add some pipe. But for all the trouble it would cause, you're better off waiting to find one designed specifically for the sedan.
 
I had a great one from Ebay called Hayame(sp?) Performance exhaust. it was beautiful.. sadly it was destroyed in shipment over here. but i want to get another once i see it again!

so are you going to run it like the apex exhaust, that is straight through and doesnt go up abopve the axle? the exhaust on that comes out the car at an upward angle, that sounds great and it will give ya a little more h/p umm if you get a muffler for it check out www.aeroturbine.com those ones sound really good too, my friend here has one of his 03.5 msp oh lordy that thing shakes the ground.. but hes got no cats ..

your friend has an aiplane engine in his MSP? that would shake the ground! :)
 
do you think you could take some sound clips of what it sounds like. i'm kinda interested in this muffler. thanks.
 
yea that video for the aero is cheesy. Its got F&F inserts all over the video and the actors are horrible. doesnt really sell me. And its mostly people with trucks who have one.

Not sure where your at in philly, but if you can get to 95 and 322, past the airport, Mighty Muffler, they put together my exhaust on an 01 LX it looks and sounds great, and I've passed 4 inspections with it. and if you want they can put together a drop in and out cat. I have one of thses planned for later as mine go bad.
