Need some exhaust opinions

[Masshole]

I currently have the Mazdaspeed axleback for my p5, and I'm in need of something more reasonable. The droning is too much to take, and i've already tried dynamatting the rear hatch area.

What is your experience with the following exhausts:
Corksport power series (for the sedan folks. the p5 ver isn't out yet AFAIK, but the results should be the same)

HKS

Racing Beat

Other



I'm concerned about sound more than power at this point. I have my first child on the way and i want to make the ride a little more comfortable for her while she's young. Give her a few years and I'll slap something louder back on when she starts to appreciate cars

Any input is appreciated.

I have a Bacing Beat axle-back from an MP3, nice tone and absolutley no droning, at any speed!

 

[ards]

Yeah, it really drones on highways. Have you tried other sound dampening materials like those acoustic fibers along with the dynamats?

 

[FC3s Boy]

yea try dyno matting the rear hatch it should help out

From what I've heard, the Racing Beat is your best bet. It's on my list

 

[batmang]

racing beat is probly the most quietest one, i however, have a magnaflow catback, heres a video of it in action:

I also have the racing beat and have been very happy with it. No droning whatsoever. The Magnaflow sounds pretty damn good though.

how the exterior sound of the racing beat though?

Ive heard its almost the same as stock(dunno)

The axle-back, is an improvement over stock. Not real loud, but you can tell it's not stock, if you know what the stock sounds like. Not really loud enough for me, I'm going with a custom, Magnaflow, dual muffler cat-back. So, I'll be selling the Racing Beat.

Racing beat all the way, no droning its barely louder than the intake. Just enough so you can hear it, nice low growl best exhaust i have ever heard on an import, and yes of course i own one (headbang)

i've started a group buy in the for sale section for a full stainless steel catback for a mere $259

If you've got the Mazdaspeed as I do, don't add a header or it will only get louder.

I've got the Magnaflow. No droning at all can't hear anything when your cruising on the freeway. It has a nice deep performance tone to it.
