What Exhuast upgrade u got????

[dcamcoTII]

I'm in love with the turbo back RB system I have on my rx7, conservative looks and sound and MAJOR power gains (~60hp!). Is the protege system too one of the most quiet that you can buy? I'd like a little different tone, but not much more volume. RB the ticket?

Yeah, me too. I'm looking for a slightly throatier sound, but I don't want much noise. What's the quietest thing I can get?

i'm running the hks hipower axleback and i gotta say i love the way it sounds

I got the Beat. And a Wagner shorty header (soon to be replaced with a Ractive header). For those of you looking for tone without volume, I'd say RB is the way to go!

I've got the Mazdaspeed axle-back (made for the P5).

Cheap, perfect fitment, subtle look. No rice effect (soft, deep tone), some power gain. It really works for me!

Yeah, and like someone already mentioned, you become a better driver by "hearing" your car.

WOw oOo >(0.o)< oOo
didnt expect to get so much great feed back you guys have given me some really good info and seems like the RB is the most popular and no one has any complants about it. only system i dont hear any mention of was the skunk2 and the thermal exhaust do any of you know or have any experiances with those exhaust systems?

If you want something that is decent on the freeway with no droning, Racing Beat all the way. It was very quiet on the freeway...until I installed the header. It is louder now, but not droning loud. I will be installing sound deadener soon, thent he problem will be solved.

Subtle look- mos' definitely!

why do you have a 2.5in straight pipe? you are probably loosing power using such large piping

..... originally the plan was to turbo the car.... in which i wouldn't have lost power. I plan to change too 2 inch this summer though, which will eleviate any oversized problems.

I have Magnaflow Cat-back. Very quiet at the beginning. After few months it really got loud on the outside. Inside is not so bad while cruising on a highway. Verry good looking cat-back. Perfect fit! (headbang)

i have the magnaflow CB with an obx 4-1. at freeway it's loud and a bit drony if you don't have the radio on. let's just say my wife is begging me to do some sound deadening. my 2 year old loves it & the humming puts her to sleep. when i'm driving solo i don't mind at all- rarely hear it over the sub.

 

[rednecks_r_us]

I have a ceramic coated Ractive header with a MAM high flow single cat mid pipe.

I had the stock tubing after that with an MAZDASPEED axle back. The Mazdaspeed axleback was nice before the header & midpipe. Then it got way to rice sounding and really loud after the header & midpipe.

I then installed a MAGNAFLOW cat back and lost the fart can sound and got a nice mellow sound. Its still a modded 4 cylinder and has that distinct 4 cylinder sound but it is so much better than the MAZDASPEED exhaust.

 

[anarchistchiken]

Yeah, my header+MAM no-cat mispipe+magnaflow (with a small exhaust leak, but still) is loud as hell. On the freeway there is no drone whatsoever. It's so not there that I actually had to turn off my radio and roll up my windows to hear it. Kinda creeped me out after the drone of the mazdaspeed axle back

I want a racing beat catback, and a mid pipe, and a obx header. What mid pipe should i get and where would i get it along with the racing beat catback? I know protege garage sells the obx header.

Hmm no stainless with a cat so you would have to order a cat I guess that kinda sucks.

I just got my magnaflow muffler on today. I didnt have enough $ to go with a whole new cat back system so the stock cat is still on there. Its has a nice deep rumble at start up but it's weird cause when ever you stomp on it, u start to hear less and less of it. I would think it would be loudest at the highest rpm's but it really isnt. I was hoping for it to be a little louder. I have a short ram intake but no headers. Would headers make a big difference? How much for a good set of headers installed?

Beau with MAM is an authorized vendor on this forum. Just PM him about what you need. He is a military man so he may not get back with you the same day but he is really good at getting back with you in a timely manner.

Headers amke a big difference. My mazdaspeed axle back wasn't loud at all with the stock manifold and cats. But the header made it louder and then the highflow mid pipe really opened it up.

Yeh im in no hurry I was just thinking about doing a few upgrades but since im working on another car right now I dont want to spend to much money on it. I think first im going to buy some plugs and wires and paint the valve cover. Thanks for the name tho ill pm him when the time comes.
