I have a ractive fireball style exhaust welded on cut the stock one off and welded on. Nice and deep tone not ricey at all. Get custom pipe bent and a shop and put a tip on it. I have the exhaust that i has on my sedan $for sale for the right price. I custom bent an pipe and welded it to the stock axle-back, so it bolts on. I bought a used stock exhaust and bolted it back on the car, since i getting rid of the car. If your interested drop me a line. Here is a picture of it.

Yeah a universal exhaust welded to rear of the axle-back. Borla make a cat back (kinda ricey sound to me) and so does sr motorsports. Corksport also has a full system, but it gets rid of the cat. The exhaust system from a 01+ sedan should also work too, but not 100% sure, seens a few on ebay. They are usually 300 min.
I highly suggest going to an exhaust shop and have them mandrel bend you a custom cat back and weld on a universal exhaust. Might be cheaper. get nothing bigger then 2.25" piping unless your FI if not you'll lose some power. But with a full system you're not going to really gonna get mass amount of power, you only gain a few ponies somewhere between 5-9hp.

I have the Mazdaspeed Sport Axle-Back on my 1.6L 1999 Protege and I love it. I was worried when I first got it cause people on here said that it sounded loud and bad. But after having it on for almost 2 months now, I gotta say that I love it. It isn't loud at all and just gives a nice low grumble when you want to give it some gas. They say that it is made by Bosal. I am very impressed with this exhaust, and it looks great if you have the Mazdaspeed rear lip.
I'm pretty sure that a Mazdaspeed Muffler would bolt right up.
Here is the muffler that I have (note this dude is asking way to much for it):

This is the one that is made for the Protege and not the P5. Notice that the Protege sedan one has a longer tip on it. I think that this muffler was just an aftermarket accessory that Mazda made for the 1999-2003 models of the Protege.

im still not sure...ive got a few options:
1-corksport system, love the sound and price
2-custom piping from exhaust shop and chose the muffler/tip
3-used SRmotorsports catback (waiting on price)
ive got the cash now, so i could buy any of these, whose got suggestions?? (ill put nautical down for the corksport option lol)
i would say option 2 or 3. Is the used srmotorsport exhaust the one listed on ebay. He had it on his race track protege for 1 or 2 seasons, i know that becuz i was gonna buy it from him for 175 a few months ago, after contacting him in a local ad. I didnt flow thru with it, since i'm trading in the car. It's a good buy, will give you 9hp, it sounds good, but isn't as loud as corksport or custom piping.
