I just want to know what all you other protege owners think about which cat-back exhaust system is the best to get. I've seen Bosal has a Chameleon Cat-back exhaust system, and Racing Beat has a new Cat-back system for the 2k2 pro also. That Racing Beat one is not the one put on the MP3, it's better. I jus want to know if any of you guys kno anyone else who makes systems or which one out of these two are better?

 

Borla also makes one, as does HKS. The HKS system is cheaper than the others that I've seen, but I have no idea on performace. I also am looking for one for my Gen3 protege ES 2.0 If anyone else has any info it would be very useful!

i kno borla makes one for the 2001 pro. will that still work on the 2002? also, isn't HKS's only a muffler not like a whole system?

 

your probably right, i was just kinda glancing over the information before, and when i looked at it again i noticed that it is just a VERY expensive exhaust. sorry

 

Skunk2 makes a cat-back for the Protege5, but its over $600 dollars.

 

Do a search for Team Moon exhaust in this forum and it will bring you to more information about this system. It is a full cat-back system but seems to be a new alternative.

 

does anyone know any dyno results(or where to find them) for these different brands of cat-backs?? Since there are so many different options, there could be quite a range in HP, right? I want to know which one will give me the most increase in raw power

 

If you want the most power out of an exhaust, try to look for one that uses a straight through design. They will be louder, but they should produce the most power.

 

The mazdaspeed muffler is a straight-thru design. It gains you appox 3whp. The racing beat gives you, if I remember correctly 5whp. Of course, all this information and more can be found by using the search function. That way you will be able to find the original posts of the people who dynoed their cars.
