Well I got it done.... It went quick once I had the right stuff.... I want to thank Ray and Chickenwafer (?spelling) for pointing me in the direction of the Exotic Speed exhaust. The fit and and finish is second to none. The kit was very easy to install and the shipping was great. I would also like to thank my daughter Katy for helping me out....

 

Now you need to post sound clips!!!

 

I will get that done tomorrow....

 

your a day late and a dollar short....

good choice though... probably best overall exhaust so far. I already melted my shrouds. Good excuse to get MS

 

yea def post some sounds clips when you can, interested in how this system sounds

 

those are some rediculous wheels btw ^^

check the link i posted for three vids of the exhaust in bold titles.

 

damn mx, that exhaust looks pretty bitchin'!

Did you actually install that with just your jack holding up the car? PLEASE tell me you didn't...

 

I put the car up on four jack stands and it was pretty easy to move around under it. I had two floor jacks on each side for saftey just in case...

 

nice jason, tips look huge!!!!

 

That's what she said.....

 

oh GOOD! You worried me there for a sec. I didn't want any n00bies on this forum seeing those pics and getting the idea that all they needed was a jack stand.

So how do you like the sound? Loud? too loud? any droning at highway speeds?

 

im confused.... is this exhaust catless? G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY i didnt see a CEL on the video where you were driving. or did you put in one of those CEL fooler things?

 

cel comes on after 50+ or so miles of driving w/o cat...

 

are the canisters round or oval???

looks nice..

beers

 

well it says comes with a hi-flow cat but it actually came with a midpipe, kinda sucks since half the reason i purchased was to get rid of the CEL... it went off for the first bit then came on again today. I gotta check into it. It sounds pretty dang loud here are a lot of pics/vids of it soon ( im uploading now)

This exhaust is sooooo loud. I herd G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY's today and i herd him comming from a mile away.

 

i was looking at this exhaust, but i felt that it would be too loud for me. I need more the Mazdaspeed,Racing Beat or Greddy one.

But this exhaust looks real nice. Good luck with it.

 

I have not had it out on the highway as of yet... The sound sounds great to me... I guess I will find out when I take it out on the highway.. The reason why I went with the Exotic Speed is to have something that not to many people have in this area... I love the look and the sound so far.... If I wanted the stock sound, I would have stayed with the stock exhaust...

 

guys it is loud due to the midpipe..

some one give it a whirl with a cat on.. stock or hi flow..


beers

 

hey swoope if i installed this "fooler" onto this system, and it cleared the CEL, would the dealer try to look at it when i get a compression test?

 

i would put the stock cat back on..

it really depends on your relationship with the dealer..

but no cat is bad. i get along great with my dealer. they let me watch my whole motor change.. never said a word about my many mods. put in a lw flywheel and stage one clutch while the motor was out.


but i did have a cat on.. hi flow one, but a cat none the less..

mods are one thing, but no cat is begging for trouble..

now that said. that is for warranty work..

if you are paying for the test.. does not matter...

beers

 

Yeah.... Who wants a check engine light on... Not me.... I hate any light on the dash doesn't need to be there...

 

when i saw this exhaust i thought about the agency power exhaust. anyone know if there's a similarity?

 

btw,

few have made foolers work.. yet some dont get a cel without a cat... it takes me 18 miles to get a cel without a cat..

a fooler is not going to fool a tech working on your car...

beers

 

i was thinking the same....
