anyone know where i can find one? or when they'll be available again? protege5online (mitch) posted that they are out of stock (per bosal).

if not, does anyone else make a catback that is out already?

 

Yeah, there is! Skunk2 just made a cat-back for the Pro5, But its over $600! Thats a little out my range right now, If i were you i would keep looking for the Bosal Cat-back like I am doing.

 

What I want to know is...Does anyone have sound clips from a Bosal Exhaust. I think I really want this exhaust, but want to hear it first.

 

I know it's not a true cat back but what if you get a Flowmaster (50 series Three-Chambered Single Outlet;same muffler Flowmaster uses for their Thunder catback systems) muffler and have an aluminized pipe welded on to the connector. Flowmaster - No doubt adds about on more horses. I had it on my stang and on my truck. I felt the difference night and day. All you have to do is pick the exhaust tip. Summit has the muffler for $89 bucks. $600 bucks for a 5 hp increase is steep in my opinion. Only thing is, doing it this way doesn't give you the coffee can looking exhaust. I'm thinking "Sleeper".

i found a site off of Protege Tech and they have a custom catback offering a 9hp increase (tested). they have cool stuff there too, most seemed to be custom designed for the p5.

 

oh yeah, i knew about the skunk2 but um, $600+... no thanks.

i need something that won't put big holes in my pocket.

 

What is the pipe that is behind the cat? Looks like it has 2.
I am new to the world of Mazda first one so anybody?

hey onehawaiian, where was this site with the exhaust and stuff? I tried searching around the protetetech website but could not find anything of particular use.

 

crap! hunter must have a revolving ad thingy. it was under the big brake job ad. it'll pop up again and i'll find it. if not i'll just email him (pro-tech mod).

damn, and i was about to do some serious pricing...

 

here it is, i found it. they are an actual racing car thingy with an online store, so i believe they test all their stuff.

SR Motorsports

take a look and tell me what you guys think. i may grab some stuff from them if i can get good package prices.

 

http://www.protege5online.com/ sells them. As of about a month ago they were on back order. You will have to go to the site to find out if it still is.

 

I used to ****** hate my Bosal catback on my p5, but holy **** today I installed the silencer, and its like a gift from heaven. It now has a lsightly more agressive tone, but my Injen CAI is now louder than my exhaust. Which to me is very desirable. And thanks Nuke and the other dude who gave me advice on how to starighten my Bosal, it was kicked to the side jus a little but its dead on now.

 

yeah, that's where i went to first (in my original post) and they were out. looking at other options now unless bosal gets more out.
