Pro5 sport muffler from dealer
 

placed an order today.. got it $200 flat plus tax. not bad.
Should have it in my hands by Friday.

Any tips or tricks to install this thing?

Thanks for your help, :D

remove passenger side rear wheel (car jacked up of course)

remove bolts from pipe flange (WD-40 recommended for loosening seized bolts)

remove muffler hanger from rubber piece (WD-40 again very useful)

once old muffler removed, reverse process to install new muffler.

time used for install - ~30 minutes.

have fun :)

What's the sport muffler look like? How much louder is it and will it add any HP?

Thanks.

look at my web page to see it/hear it.

the P5 version will have a shorter pipe between the tip and the muffler, otherwise it's the same as the one I have.

and do a search on 'mazdaspeed exhaust' on this forum, LOTS of info.

Thanks ZoomZoomH, I did a search but I can't really find much on the expected HP gains (if any) with the sport muffler. Maybe I'm a dumbass... ;)

Do you by chance know what one can expect? Or even a cheapy universal or Ractive one? It'll help in my decision for a future upgrade.

Thanks again!

the gain is small enough that it probably wouldn't make a big difference, it's mostly a look/sound mod...

same goes for most bolt-on mufflers, you want power gain you need to go at least cat-back...

thanks!!
 

zoomzoomH-thanks for the info. looks easy enough. :D

yah, i bought it only for the sound/look mod. i dont expect
any hp gains...even if i got a catback probably 2-3whp at most.

should look good with my dropped ride. :p

i think im going to just pull the car up on ramps and do it...or
while its in the air when i work on my struts. :p

that'll work too :D

Yeah, I figured 1 or 2 hp at the most. I'd do it mostly for the looks myself. I was on your site... pretty cool! Love the sound!

Thanks!

That's good price too.
I got mine for $195 shipped to my door.
and since I didn't wanted to install it myself, I went to MIDAS and paid $15usd for install with 90days installation warranty.

I love pastel colors~~~:D

30 min. it only took me 20 with the wheel on.
