Hoss -05 finally orders and Exhaust!
So after about a year of internal debate and many canceled orders (do to none availability) I have finally ordered an exhaust system.
It is the Exoticspeed RII-Titan Exhaust:
If you have ever looked into this exhaust you will notice it has a few options. The ones I chose were:
A Primary pipe diameter of: 3.0"
The PWR-Si option: (Silent intense, 15DB noice reduction)
And the type B black chrome tips:
It will be paired with a BHR none catted mid pipe and OEM header. I am hoping with the "PWR- Si" and physically long "mufflers" that is is able to keep the sound controlled and low even with the 3" diameter.
I should arrive about the same time my car will be back from the body shop. the car is currently getting most of the OEM Mazdaspeed body stuff put on.

Its in my build thread, under parts in the Very first post. knewb... lol
I don't believe I have ever herd of anyone owning the 3" pwr-si set up before.
I have gun mettle rims and the paint on the lips on my mazdaspeed kit match the rims. It is also my plan to have the OEM emblems painted dark chrome.

Love the look of these exhausts.
I am looking at some custom made exhausts that will have a perforated pipe and steel wool packed. Most exhausts have the pipes wrapped in glass wool or steel wool. Generally performance rotary exhausts needs to be 100% steelwool packed.
Excessive heat also caused the welds around the seams to crack after one track session.

I almost recommended this, but was unsure about how loud it would be on an unplugged SC application ...
It needs to be coarse stainless steel wool, regular steel wool will melt and/or mat out over time

as previously posted, there were comments about the exhaust being loud and also without first hand experience you can't be sure that the so-called quiet option isn't excessively restrictive. Being a full 3" system is no guarantee and along the same line they can claim anything. 15 dB is a significant difference, huge even. I had some suspicions either way.
Sorry that I couldn't be of more direct help for you. My hands are a bit tied at the moment. That situation may change sooner than I expected.

My buddy had the titan II or whatever it is called with 2.5 and blue tips, and the right side stuck out further than the left. he said it was normal, which made me not want to buy exoticspeed for this reason. other than that his was super loud no resonators and midpipe.. super loud!!!!

Looks good. Are the edges welded or does it have a folded seam that is welded. The reason I ask is that my original muffler had cracks along the weld.
My new muffler has the two pieces of metal folded together and welded. This should make it stronger.
However, yet to take it to the track to test the new system.

It looks good man, impressive setup. Raul (cars name, don't ask) will be happy to see it (hopefully tomorrow) 
The straight sections resonator reduces is down to approximately 2 inches.
