Has anyone purchase one of these? mazdastuff.com has it for $195.00. http://www.mazdastuff.com/product.cfm?ProductID=1047

How is it? Does it improve anything besides sound?

 

I did do a search for "Pro5 Sport Exhaust". That is the name of the product, nothing comes up except a thread about an accident. I do a search for "exhaust", and that brings up alot of threads. Anyone know what the topic was?

 

I ordered mine at the end of january. But it was on backorder, (i hate you mazdastuff> ). Anyway, There estimate was oh you'll have at the end o fthe first week in Feb, ( HA ).
I still don't have it, yet. And they don't seem to respond to e-mail, (******** ). But when it does come I'll let you know how it fits and sounds.

 

Thanks, i look forward to hearing from you

 

Holy Sheet, Mazdastuff wrotte me back .The ETA from Mazda is 3/15/02, that's from mazda to the dealer then another week in transit to me . It better be worth it ! If not I'l just have to get the Skunk2 Half Polished System, $500 bucks, we'll see

 

Why not the Bosal? And last I heard Skunk2 is looking at March also.

 

I would like to see and hear the mazda exhaust...but seeing as how Mitch has the bosal's....he got MY MONEY! not to mention...the bosal is a lot nicer lookin...all polished and all.

 

May have to cancel, cuz now I kinda want the Skunk2 System. Are they loud ?

 

I don't know if the Skunk2 system is loud or not...but I was looking at Parts sites last night and when I saw the price...or at least what one place was asking for the full Cat-back Skunk2 system it made me wallet pucker, run and hide!!! it was $900!!!! I just can't see ANY system being worth that much....maybe it was a misprint...or maybe the guys at that parts house were smokin something when they put together their site...but that in itself would make me think seriously about another brand.

 

This is just a shorter version of the MP3's Racing Beat designed muffler to fit the Protege 5. It will add a deeper exhaust note, but will not add any power by itself. It is not a complete cat-back exhaust, it is only the muffler section.

 

looks , nice but I don't think it will be to loud , lol
I had a dream last night , that I had a miata , with a wicked frigin exhaust and a turbo , with some fat rear tires ,, man that thing was fast ,, and the girls loved it ,, damn I woke up

I ordered one of the sport exhaust from my dealership about 2 months ago. It came in about 2 weeks later, it looked like crap so i didn't buy it. Last week my friend bought it, it's not that loud. It actually gets quieter when accelerating. I'm waiting for a full cat back from racing beat. THE SPORT EXHAUST IS MADE BY MAZDASPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Does anyone know when the Racing Beat cat-back system is coming out? I called an authorized Racing Beat dealer in my city and they told me sometime in the next week or two. Is that accurate? It'll be interesting to see what kind of HP gains will be available from that cat-back alone.
