Shamless plug but you can find my megan racing cat back for sale for 250 shipped....

I really love my thermal exhaust. It's a little expensive but it sounds great. Especially after I put the wagner header and downpipe

You don't need to get the full cat-back from RB. If you call around to some dealers you can maybe find one that can get you the Mazda Sport Exhaust (Axle-back), made by
Racing Beat. That's what I have. It's also on the quiet side and doesn't drone at all.
Dealers can be overpriced but unless you find someone selling a used one I don't know of any other vendors.
If I don't forget I'll try and find the part number. I still have my receipt.

The Mazdaspeed or mazda sport exhaust (axle-back)you find at the dealer is not made by Racingbeat. Theyre made in S. Africa by Stromung (??)..this is what a local Mazda dealer told me. And they are not the same mufflers that came w/ MP3 and Mazdaspeed Protege which is made by Racing Beat.

good info!

could be why those drone, and the $379 Cat back Racing Beat does not.

I had read that it was made by Bosal. who knows...

you maybe right too. I think it is Bosal. Are they made in S. Africa?I got confused when I was typing it earlier cause a coworker was talking about his Stromung exhaust in his BMW...and I just come to think Strumung is German..who knows... But definitely not made by Racing Beat.

Then why does mine say "Racing Beat"?

 

[aMaff]

dunno...mine doesn't. And I've actually got a Mazdaspeed P5 Axle back, and the axle back portion from a Mazdaspeed Protege, and the muffler on the MSP is about twice the size of the 1 on the P5 one.
Larger Muffler = no droning? I dunno, but I'm gonna go with yes on this one...

 

[aMaff]

what are the bolt sizes on the flanges for the cat back and axle back sections?

 

[smo0f]

my msp's stock exhaust is Racing Beat. I know this because it says "Racing Beat" on it (on the muffler, just not visible if the exhaust is not off the car).

Sounds like you have the MP3 / MS Protege exhaust.

 

[Kansei]

Yeah, the Mazdaspeed Protege exhaust is a very different thing than the Mazdaspeed Axleback for the Protege5. One was the factory exhaust on the MSP, the other a dealer accessory for the Protege5 (they called it 'sport muffler' or something).

Wait,going back to the HKS,I wanted to get it in the past but I was told that the muffler heats up the hanger,which then breaks.Is this true??

 

[LiMPiNg]

RaiderMP5... that clip you provided. Is that the RB cat-back or is it axle-back?

 

[RaiderMS3]

cat back.

 

[vicham]

i asked this question b4....but no one gave me an answer so i am going to ask again
Is HKS Hi Power exhaust with sliencer queiter than MS sport exhaust??? anyone tried both???
Now, i hv the MS axleback and find it a bit loud for my taste especially when i m going uphill(feel like my eardrums are going to pop). Since an used HKS axleback on sale is on sale in my area now with good price ($100CAD), I might sell my MS and buy the HKS(if it is quieter than MS) one
i need some advice
