I don't really know about quality or sound but that exhaust is really easy to put on yourself. It's really easy with two guys and even easier if you can get it to a lift. It would take you about 45 minutes to do it yourself.

yeah I figured out how easy it would be to install- I just wanna know about quality and sound. thaks !

I know someone with an exhaust like you listed up from E-bay (it looks the same). It is really loud, like annoying loud and it gives the people inside the car a headache.

The quality of the exhaust is ok

Not sure if you bought the ebay exhaust or not. Also, I clicked on the link and it said the posting was gone. Anyways, I would stay away from ebay for car parts as much as possible. As for a nice toned exhaust.. I have corksport's exhaust on mine and it sounds AWESOME. It has a nice tone to it and is only loud when you really step on it. Also, for the stock exhaust.. I had to cut mine in half to get it out because Mazda decided to have one solid pipe so you can really get it out underneath the car. And yes, a lift is your friend on this mod. Hope I helped!!!

The price is certainly right considering my Vibrant exhaust was $650 about 4 yrs ago now, but the quality??
I would be surprised if as CorkSport suggested, it didn't drone you and your passengers out of the car.

Plus, that exhaust has two potential issues.
1) It's for a HB and if you have a sedan it will be too short. It will install but the tip will come out underneath the bumper, and you will be smelling burning plastic the first time you take the car out.
2) w/a 4.5" tip, you may have to increase the bumper outlet anyway. Here's my Vibe w/a 4" tip, which imo, fits perfectly in the factory cut-out.
