Finally, an exhaust...
I put on the Mazdaspeed axle back muffler today. When I first started the car up, I wasn't too impressed with the sound aroudn 3K....sounded like a fart pipe. After it warmed up, it sounded a little better. I guess the 1.6's engine note isn't as nice as the 1.8 and 2.0.
Also got my rear bumper replaced, and the whole rear quarter has a new paint job from when some asshole rear ended me last November. http://www.knology.net/~negatize/ima...936%20copy.jpg http://www.knology.net/~negatize/ima...937%20copy.jpg http://www.knology.net/~negatize/ima...938%20copy.jpg |
Hey Clint,
looks great, awsome finish on the body couldn't even tell the difference Like the mazdaspeed exhast, I bet it sounds better than many fart pipes out there, saw it on ZoomZoomH car, looks neat Do you feel any performance gain? just wondering you know? Is there any way you could lift it up so the end of the exhast would be closer to the bumper? Thanks:D |

Thanks:D The muffler hangs down from two of the rubber supports underneath the body...unless you modify those somehow then maybe you can raise it up some. I don't see how though. I think the tip would look good with the MP3 rear skirt in place. That will come someday, when I have enough dough to make it happen, heh heh. |
Originally posted by foxymazda Whoa there buddy. My car is a 1.6L and with the exhaust I have it sounds like a V-8 lol. :D |
i think it looks good but like someone said before, it will look better closer to the body but mines the same way , i guess thats as close as they get.

Hey it looks really good, all you have to do now is drop the car and it will look even better, once again good work :)
|
Do you need any modification on the exhaust to make it fit? Because I read in the past that the Mazda exhaust won't fit our 1.6L engine...

Originally posted by NegatiZE I think it sounds nice at idle and at high rpm..but it hits 3K omfg can you say fart can? I'll record the exhaust and post it up here. I don't think anyone's heard this exhaust w/ the 1.6 before. |

Sound Clip
Here's a crappy quality sound clip of the car accelerating. This is with the windows up, mic attatched to passenger seat headrest.

that doesn't sound THAT bad, maybe not as low and boomy as the FS engines, but definitely not Honda engine buzzy.
more like a performance-tuned, small-displacement sound :D |

Sweet! Looks just like mine too!

Hey, It looks good. Now.... for 2 weekends coming up, well... 3. I can't wait to see it in person:)
Like Isaid, .wav and sound files don't do justice with a car note.... I'm sure it sounds great. You need to get your auto < manual conversion. Now, that'll kick some ass! |
