Racing Beat catback installed

Woohoo this thing sounds awesome! It's not obnoxious, yet at the same time you know it's there. I've wasted half a tank of gas today driving around just to listen to it.

I have an exhaust leak after my cat, so that'll get fixed soon.

I know what you mean about the RB sound, I love mine, even with the header installed.

You didn't like the sound of the Mazdaspeed Axle-back exhaust that you had before? What was wrong with it? Too loud? Too ricey?

I have a Mazdaspeed Axle-back that I bought awhile ago and am just waiting to put on after I get my rear lip installed. I read up on the sound of it, and people said that it was a bit loud but not ricey sounding at all. What were your thoughts on it?

 

[NegatiZE]

Yep - too lound and ricey. But then again, I had the 1.6 back then so it sounded like ass especially with my automatic. At highway speeds the drone got annoying.

This picture was taken today.

Your car has a nice clean subtle look. I like it.

Make sure that your header lines up with the mid-pipe properly....I just noticed that mine were off by a couple of degrees causing a leak. I had to get the mid pipe bent to accomadate it.

 

[NegatiZE]

That's exactly were mine is leaking. The problem is I'm missing one of the nuts, and the only one I had lying around wasn't the correct size. No problem though, I'm getting the test pipe made this week or next.

I ordered mine from racing beat over the phone since their online ordering system is... crude. It got here in only a few days, and although it had to travel less than 100 miles I thought it was quick (rockon)

Where did you get the "Familia" emblem? ...would like one myself.

not very loud at all. Once I get this exhaust leak fixed, i'll get more and better sound clips made.

Put mine on last month. Bought for 300 slightly used from a board member.
The sound owns all. Just perfect.

Not really loud at all-- no droning on freeway. I think it'll still be fine once I pick up a high-flow midpipe.

Still, eBay CAI and OBX header are the best power bangs for your buck.
