Which cat-back exhaust gives off a deep sound and not a farty one, the HKS or the $226.05 Mazdaspeed cat-back exhaust? Also, what is the CHEAPEST INJEN CAI you've seen online or any cat-back exhaust for the protege 5?

P.S. Where can i find smoked altezza lights?

 

i've heard good things about the racing beat cat-back's sound. bad things about the mazdaspeed muffler (and it's not cat-back).

 

if your looking to save a buck or two and still have a nice sound with out the cat back, then find a ractive 2 bolt. It sounds loud and not whaaaaaaaaaaaaawhaaaaaaaa it is throaty not rice sounding

 

What he said! Or, you can buy the Ractive muffler and get a custom 2.25" piping done at your local muffler shop and save yourself alot more than a buck or two. It cost me $175 total to get the custom cat-back & the Ractive muffler installed. It shouldnt cost you more than $100 to get yourself a custom 2.25" cat-back done. And the sound is excellent, I thought my old Magnaflow exhaust sound good. The Ractive is much much better.

 

actually the sound has a LOT to do with our engines themselves and the way the cams work too.....

I have NEVER heard ANY system on a protege that sounded like the HONDA's do....

every system I have heard has a nice deep rumble....even ONE person had just disconneced the pipe in front of the muffler and it sounded decent too!!
