Re: need some advice on exhaust

It looks identical to the mazdaspeed if you ask me, they are the same both made by aem who makes the intakes for sure.

Re: MERGED: Exhaust Questions/Suggestions/Issues for noobies

Well, apparently I cant even touch my own exhaust system... Illinois state law prevents you from even removing your stock exhaust in order to put a louder one on there. And IL state law says you MUST have a muffler. I can't wait to move back to TX.

Re: MERGED: Exhaust Questions/Suggestions/Issues for noobies

laws were created to be improvised upon.

in my province, if i get pulled over for having an aftermarket system that is too loud, i get a ticket in addition to the last place that inspected my vehicle.

it was a funny conversation at the dealership when my service manager was, in not so many words, basically trying to coax me in to getting my car inspected somewhere else since he didn't want a ticket down the line.

Vibrant Exhaust

i have the vibrant exhaust on my 2007 and i was wondering if i cut out the resonator the exhaust comes with, would it just make it louder or would i actually see some gain??/

 

[wetsuitxninja]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

Take out the highflow cat and get a race pipe made. You will get a raspier sound removing the resonator, and no worthwhile gain.

 

[TrueRedMZ3]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

i was considering doing so, but i have an o2 sensor right next to the high-flow cat...what would i do with it???

 

[wetsuitxninja]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

Have a bung welded in on the race pipe and put it there. Also get your hiflow flanged and stock cat flanged to mate up with the exhaust so when emissions testing comes around you are covered.

 

[BC3I]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

you have a hole cut and weld a female threaded piece in so the O2 will thread in. same thing i did with mine.

btw pm me if you want to buy my old race pipe. i took mine off.

 

[TrueRedMZ3]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

so it still leaves the first cat intact correct??

 

[BC3I]

Re: Vibrant Exhaust

the first cat is in the header

question about catback exhaust... planning to put mazdaspeed CAT...

is it straight bolt on ? or do i need to cut it from the cat back ?

magnaflow exhaust (v. too loud)

hey guys, ive had my magnaflow cat-back for about a year now, and its just too loud for me at highway speeds (75 mph and above) for it to be comfortable for me or passengers... any way to make the exhaust quieter or is the only solution to remove it? I like the 'fluidity' it gives my accelerator coupled with a CAI... so i would like to keep it for performance but i would like to quiet it down. Anything i can do?

 

[*txmica3*]

Re: magnaflow exhaust (v. too loud)

does it delete the cat? if so you could put in a highflow, but im not sure that would do much

IMO your best bet would be to add a resonator or another muffler somewhere.
