Official Exhaust Thread

What's a better exhaust? Racing Beat or Thermal Exhaust?

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but did you read through this thread before asking your question? You'll have a much better feel for exhausts for the P5 after browsing the 10 or so pages of this thread. Then, if you're still wondering, post up what you're thinking and I'm sure you'll have plenty of suggestions.

This forum is a great resource, it just takes a little research to gain the full benefit.

Only 10 pages if you adjust your setting to allow the maximum number of posts per page. It makes reading the forum MUCH easier.

Hey guys,

Just thought id post some videos that i know of that are tuned Proteges (i.e. more then CAI/exhaust).

First is Orions Protege. (IIRC in this video he still had stock intake, but had Twiggy sticks, Autoexe header and Racing Beat exhaust).

Eh honestly i reckon they sound pretty sweet. Should be noted that each of those linked has yet to be tuned or had problems when tuning.

Ideas to fix an exhaust leak? Used some cheap ass sealer from advance made for tailpipes, basically a bondo, but it doesn't hold up too long. Anyone use jbweld maybe? Anything with out blown cash at a shop lol

Did the JBweld a while back, didnt work to great. As soon as the heat built up the JB weld came gave up and a hole started appearing. best bet even though you dont wish to spend nothing is a quick weld plug at a shop.

Right now what is the best exhuast for the p5? For performance mainly is what i am asking.

I've used high-temp silicone a few times between the flanges and around them after it was bolted up. Just clean everything really well with brake cleaner or something similar. It holds up pretty well. But a weld job is the best solution.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, Ive used red RTV before when I didnt have gaskets, but I wouldnt reccomend that lol It held up well, just didnt seal too great to begin with

 

[Jordysoso]

Yeah thinkin about just gettin it all welded. Found out my leak is where the j pipe connects to the cat. Gonna have to get it welded. Friends dad owns a shop. Time to hit him up lol

RacingBeat is pretty hard to beat tbh. Nice n quiet when cruising and loud enough when given a bootful.

installed my Mazda Speed Muffler on the P5 last night,super straight forward install and I love the sound....I was hesitant because I really dislike 90% of the import cars I hear with exhaust,but this system made me very happy.

That is a fart can you dislike, not a real exaust.

 

[Jordysoso]

^^ true s*** lol

 

[Lewis7789]

Well many of the exhaust systems for the P5 are "fart cans" though. CorkSport, HKS, GReddy, Tanabe, Magnaflow...

I think the Racing Beat might be the only one that isn't technically a fart can.

 

[Jordysoso]

And mine but I think he means the high squealing ricers
