New MS Exhaust

Just got my MazdaSpeed Exhaust in the mail. Had it put on not long after, here are a few pictures...




I love the deep tone it gives while in the low rpm range. Kind of a stinky drive home, prob. normal though since it's new?? Looking to get a short shifter next...

Nah, I had my local Mazda dealership do it. Only thing I know how to do is change fluids

Congrats!
I got a Rev 8 installed recently. The McDees I drove through thought there was a fire somewhere from the smell rising off my system . The smell fades quickly.

Can you post a sound clip?

You must have posted that while I was posting!! Crap.
You probably don't want to hear what I paid for install!

Nice!
Sounds a bit louder than mine but same sort of tone to it. How is it on the road?

Good choice, I love mine. My only complaint is that the tips bronzed very quickly.

Do you recommend anything to cut down on the bronzing or is there simply nothing you can do?

That burning smell might be from plastic exhaust shrouds hitting the muffler where it makes the 90. Check it out, if its touching go under there with a utility knife. I love mine also, not to loud/not to soft

Plenty of products out there that will get rid of the bronzing. Search.

Unfortunately, I don't think there are ways to make it look brand new after a few days of driving.

Nonetheless, I love my MS exhaust. Perfect tone to go with the rotary, and a great price compared to the other exhausts for the RX-8.

Sounds good. One of our sponsors has an amazing special on the MS exhaust right now.

http://www.finishlineperformance.com/sale.html

$509. That's pretty darn good.

Nice choice in exhaust systems. I love the sound. Enjoy. Problem now is you'll be revving it up just to hear it.

DarkBrew, thanks for posting that video! I am getting a RB REV8 exhaust soon, and it's great to hear how it sounds on the road.
