Juz installed the knightsport muffler on saturday at monster garage. Initial feel
abt the muffler is that it is 1 hell of a gd muffler...I suspect a possible gain of a
100hp...the reponse of the engine is now as quick as a lamborgini...super loud
as well...could have almost sworn that I drown out a ferrari during idling...after
the initial test, I felt that the century sprint timing has significantly improved...
I think its probably down to ard 3.9999 secs...n oh...the car now lurges forward
as if its a tri turbo on a quad rotary engine...I'm pretty sure now I can eat the
bugatti veron for breakfast now...

Hahaha...

Ok, enough of that rubbishistic (is there such a word?) review...now lets
come back down to earth n say how the muffler really perform...

Let me start by saying, I wasn't disappointed by the muffler...in fact, I was
impressed...after installing the muffler, the car now feels slightly more
responsive...If I wasn't mistaken, the muffler does give a 7hp...plus the fact that
it is also lighter that the stock muffler...my guess is a combination of these 2
factors allowed me to feel a significant improvement in performance...the car now
lurges forward a little more willingly instead of the usual " dun look at me...i'm
only a 1.3l rotary engine without any turbo inside" kind of lurge...

As for the sound, I wldn't say it is a very loud muffler...during idling, I almost
thought i was still running on stock...but I think this is the kind of muffler that
require to be run at a higher rpm for it to sound absolutely lovely...but the true
beauty of the sound wld come in at say...ard 3k rpm? Anyway, thats what I felt...
above the 3k range...the exhaust starts to sound a little louder n a little more
bassy than b4...n as u start to rev higher, the sound juz simply starts to
compliment the engine. I say it enhances the sound of the rotary...n at 8500 rpm,
BOOM....magic...but I do have to say, this is not an exhaust for loud sounding
muffler fans coz even at very high rpm, it is still not as loud as some of those
flow thru muffler u heard on ur civics...It is juz not the typical "hey...wake up
neighbour, I'm home n I want u to know it coz i got a loud exhaust n its time
for u to go n pee b4 u embarass urslf by wetting ur bed" kind of muffler...

The look of this muffler is very similar to stock...except for the slightly bigger tail
pipe wif a knightsports wording engrave on 1 side n it protrudes out a little more
than the oem muffler...not very attention grabbing but hey...no one wants to grab
the attention of the wrong pple...for example, our very hard working ROV
officers...heehee...

Ok now, lets conclude...

Gains: 7hp
Weight: dunno...but definitely lighter than oem
Psychological Gain: Approximately 100hp
Damage: Kindly approach Monster Garage for a quotation

Lastly, I wld like to thank Monster garage for the product n the installation
process...the muffler works great...abit pai seh though...when Ivan help to
install it on my car...Buy u milo ping next time I c u, bro...thanks...
Oh, by the way...I was really proud of how my car sound b4 a yellow ferrari
zoom past me...
But hey...If I really wanted to sound like that, I want have installed microphones
n speaker to my tailpipes, right?
What more can I say...I'm a happy man...

Well...to avoid getting stop...u could go get it approved. I did mine liao....also KS exhaust. If wanna tok about sound, the RE one is really shiok. KS is only slightly bassy than stock at low rpms.

Rei

I can't lah, bro...I bought a 2nd hand one...jasma cert oredi chop another car...
Yup...the RE muffler sound super shiok...much louder than the knightsport one..

Sorry, a bit off-topic but please bear with me.

Part Name: Mazdaspeed Exhaust Muffler

Price SGD 1374

Anyone has an opinion/comment on the above? Thinking of getting this...

coupe07

u r better off with other brands, seriously......

poisson

Thanks for the advice.. that's what another friend of mine said as well. Just ordered the car and toying with some mods ideas - still very "green" and a novice, appreciate the sharing of knowledge in this forum. Read though that the Ang Mos seem to dig it when I search related threads in this forum.

CoupeM

For tat price u might as well get Fujitsubo exhaust. Legal also.

incubus_renesis

bro get RE amemiya exhaust, looks good,sounds good, responds is good also hahaha

Rei

Hmm...mazdaspeed muffler so bad that its not even worth $1380?

sqflyer

Not that it's BAD, just that there are better ones out there.

CoupeM

If u can get the maZdaspeed 2 box muffler exhaust...might be not bad. The single box design is the only type MM brings in.

coupe07

2 box design so far i see, only available in US.....

but then again, mazdaspeed VS other brands.... hmm....

Mazdaspeed performance stuff very conservative leh.....

CoupeM

In US they claim the 2box better than the single box. But you are right...normally is quite conservative.

poisson

Can I clarify what do you mean by conservative? Is it they understate actual performance or just not as "fierce" as other exhaust?

Lucky I ask in this forum, I thought I was buying the 2 box muffler until someone said that MM only brings in 1 box type. When I asked, in my mind was the 2 box muffler - the newer one.

CoupeM

I asked MM before liao. They only have the single box type. By conservative we mean..the performance is not as good as aftermarket mufflers.

Jammer

hi hi..

where to buy the RE amemiya exhaust?
and how much does it costs?

Rei

I think u can get the exhaust at monster garage...price wise, u gotta check wif
them...
