bleh, my exhaust looks so crappy

anyone know if this is normal? it looks crappy, i checked it and everything under there seems to be fine. it looks like it droops exceptionally low. i may have to clean the exhaust to make it shiner, or just paint it matt black. bleh

u mean the re-program of the ecu? yea its been done. what dirty exhaust issue? I might need to run a search on that.

what complain should I give em? it'll come out good after a good polish, but there is some heat affected discoloration on the barrel in the middle.

Pretty normal for the stock muffler to hang like that.
Get Racing Beat or the MS dual can.

They all look the same. I painted it a high temp flat black.

Dam, that does look good.. I might do that myself. I'm a little surprised Mazda let that ugly thing hang down so much.

I'd replace my exhaust if it didn't feel like such a raping at $700...

Does anyone know of a decent sounding setup for around $200-$300???

Altspace, high temp flat black sounds good. maybe i can find it at autozone/oreileys? it looks way better with it sprayed like that.

yes, you can find it there.

Altspace, that looks Really good. I might consider that too since my RB is all worn and dirty.
