? about ms axle back + wagner midpipe
I was wondering would the power from a mazdaspeed axle back and a wagner midpipe compare to a catback system from lets say... magnaflow or borla?
thanks, Ian

I have a setup similar to that. OBX header -> 2.5" catless midpipe -> stock catback -> mazdaspeed axleback. I get tons of torque down low but its loud as hell and sounds rice-a-rific.
My name is Ian too cool!

Wouldnt it be quieter if the midpipe have a cat or even highflow cat? cus in Illinois you need all cats and crap. to pass emissions

You should get more, iff you get the highflow cat.
Mazdaspeed axel back = 3 hp
highflow cat around 3 hp.
You already have and equal amount of power to a catback. And your car will sound alot cooler (deeper), mine does atleast.

The high flow cat that comes with the midpipe will increase power.
If you get a catback you dont get that, hence cat back from cat back. If you were to get both a catback and a midpipe you would see more gains then either.

I don't know about the MSP or the P5 but the protege sedan has I beleave 2 1/4 pipe from the cat, and only 1 3/4 from the down pipe to the second cat. I looked under it and that seems to be the biggest restriction. Replace that part and you'll see good gains.

Now that would be some nice gains!
Throw in a header and your looking at some decent power. And as long as you get the midpipe with the cat, you can get a long style header then you will have a really freeflowing exhaust.
