MSP Axleback Exhaust
Who all sells them and how much do they go for new?
I have a chance to pick one up used on the other forum for $120+15 shipping but I thought I could find a brand new one in the vicinity of $160.

If you have a P5, the end is gonna stick out about 2-3 inches. The sedans are a little longer.
I'd probably either lurk craigslist or the other protege site for a cheap used one.
$135 sounds about right if it's low milage and unscratched.

It does look pretty good and it's from a P5 so it shouldn't stick out at all. I think I'm probably gonna do it, and as much as I'd like to get on the Thunder Catback Gary I don't have $400 to dish out. Thanks for your input guys!

You'll be able to buy the Thunder axle-back portion separately. But it's ok, if you get a good deal on something you want, don't pass it up!

It's a pretty nice lookin muffler in my opinion, and the price is right too. It has no damage on it whatsoever, and looks practically new so I can't pass up on it. Besides, everyone says it's a great sounding muffler and it's not very expensive either so it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Also picked up some Kartboy exhaust hangers, so this should be a sweet little upgrade for $150!

If you go on eBay and go to the store for Nelson Mazda, they have brand new Mazdaspeed axle backs for P5s for $159 IIRC. I have bought a couple of items from them, they are good to deal with and their customer service is first-rate. If you can't find it let me know and I will see if I can send you an item number.

Dude I found your post on that from a while ago and searched on eBay but couldn't find it. I would have you dig up the item number but I think I'll just go with this deal, I mean it looks almost brand new and I'd save about $35 or so. How much does Nelson charge for shipping? Usually it's not that cheap on exhausts ...

I kinda wish I still had my MS one, now that my bumper's melted.

I was wrong, price is $169 (sedan was cheaper). Shipping is based upon UPS rates to your zip code. They don't rape you on the shipping like some, I don't recall how much mine was but that would add to the price. Sounds like you have a good deal on your hands. Good luck and be sure to let us know how you like it.

PayPal did its' job, so I should be seeing a box in front of my house within the next week hopefully. I'll make sure to take pics for everyone.
Meanwhile, I have a question about the kartboy hangers. I ordered them last night to go along with this muffler, and I wanna know if they're gonna make the tip sit higher and bang against the cut-out.
