As mentioned in my ungrammatically-titled previous post, I got the Mazda sport muffler. The installation happened this morning, and it almost went flawlessly. I stripped a bolt and had to inlist the (newly purchased) Dremel to remove the old muffler. Every criticism I've read (and ignored) is absolutely true. It's loud. It growls and farts and has a nasty resonance at cruising speeds. I'm actually surprised it's not louder, when you consider the size of the canister and the fact that you can see straight through from the absurdley oversized tip to the inlet pipe! I used anti-sieze on the bolts, so I can take it off and de-bling the can (either brushed finish with sandpaper or blacked out with spray paint.) Pics. More to follow.

 

looks good. I had this muffler installed on my car by the dealer prior to buying the car. All these stock proteges don't sound like they're running to me. p.s. it'll drone on the interstate...get ready for it.

 

I drove 3 hours to Biloxi w/my cat-back....I felt bad for my friend & his GF....shoot, I felt bad myself....anymore of that, and I would've had a huge migraine.

 

I need to get some bumps in the trunk to overcome the noise my car makes at ALL speeds!!!

 

Speaking of bumping...the MSP sub/amp combo is FINALLY done!

 

no bump in the trunk?? Ask Scotty to help ya out there! You should see my big *** trying to get busy in the back of the p5....It's like a hunk of spam sliding out of the can when I get out!

slooosh plop.

 

Yeah that N1 exhaust aint no joke. The hotter it gets the louder it gets. My 1yr old son hears me coming down the street before I get home and is waiting at the door.

 

do you guys take off your resonators or something? or is the muffler just loud? i have an obx-greddy evo replica axleback and it sounds great its deep but the intake is still louder than it which i like, it just makes the intake sound thicker....i was just wondering about this cuz everyone says their exhaust is so loud

You should hear it w/ no cats

 

Ummm....

 

Hehe, maybe a little too descriptive...

 

Mine's all stock. I can't imagine how loud it would be without the resonator, sheesh!

 

/\ wow i've never heard an msp axleback maybe they are alot louder than my car i dunno either that or maybe my set up is just as loud and i'm not used to it i had an altima before and that car was soooooo freaking loud this car seems pretty quiet to me
