I had asked somebody a while back about the sound and he said
it was louder than he had thought it would be and recommended
the racing beat would be quieter.

i went with the Apexi N1 universal NA muffler with a custom catback 2.25" pipe. its non mandrel bent though
so if you want to go with a custom catback and a universal muffler go with 2.5" non mandrel or 2.25 mandrel

Tip sizes
That Greddy exhaust has a huge tip. Anyone have close up shots of the tip? So far the HKS has looked the best to me, but i've read the HKS is fairly loud. Anyone know the exact sizes of the tips between the Greddy and the racingbeat?

If there is some interest i'll try to hook something up, but its not that expensive to start with, only 329, but I want under $300

I have a new (2003) P5. I just installed a Thermal Research & Development "Classic" catback exhaust system. The fit was less than perfect. I ended up having to tweak the hangers to get the muffler tip aligned with the radius in the back bumper. The performance gains. if any, were slight. The tone is pleasant - not too loud. Sounds alot like the stock exhaust on my old 63' MGB.
Hope this helps.

If you want Team Moon to bust out a sedan version, I'll bet they'll do it. There's way more Protege sedans than P5's out there, and the exhaust should be pretty similar -- just a little longer. Email Charlie; he's a good guy.

I just emailed him too. As a matter a fact I got an Idea. Lets flood his mail box asking him to design one for the Sedans. Then he will have no choice but to build one if everyone keeps requestion one.
