MPS6 exhaust questions

[esp22]

Hi,

looking for a nice sounding exhaust for my mps 6...any vids or files would be great...nothing loud at all..just quiet but may possibly open up to a good sounds when i give the car a boot...

Thanks

Try looking at MPSgarage and see what they sell, then google MPS (or Mazdaspeed ) + Corksport etc.

Or you could ask '2XS' for advice on what to do to the exhaust. I got my exhaust through the company he works for (Custom Exhaust Specialists - CES)

If you are just after the sound then change just the mufflers, or go for a cat back. Talk to the exhaust shop about which muffler will sound the way you want it to (eg quite but deep note).

Changeing the downpipe off the turbo is a tough and expensive job, and probably adds little to the sound of the exhaust. It adds power, but not enough to justify the cost.

You can check out pictures of my exhaust in my profile if you wish.

New CES exhaust to 6MPS

To be honest, I love my CorkSports Exhaust.

Sounds great, makes good power and they are a bargain!

Also a piece of cake to install....

Took delivery of my Corksport exhaust today - what a beautifully made exhaust, absolutely exquisite almost too good to hide under a car .

Will report on fitting/sound and performance shortly - big test will be EOY get-together at Burrawang.

As promised

1. Fitting of exhaust is simple and quick with no hassles.
2. Tailpipes into rear bumper bar as close to perfect as you could get - almost perfectly on centre.
3. Minor difference in depth of outlet iside rear bumper. Right tailpipe about 3 mm shorter than left - but you have to look to notice.
4. I was a bit startled by the initial sound on start up - cold engine and at a high idle the exhaust had a bit of a drone. This went as engine warmed up and didn't appear as bad on later start ups.
5. Slight drone in exhaust under load or acceleration, but a nice spound when cruising.
6. At 80kph in 5th very quiet until GO pedal depressed, At 100 kph slight but nice drone from exhaust. Not intrusive and didn't have to turn up radio.

On the downside without the vibration damper on the standard exhaust there is a minor vibration at 4,000 rpm.

So far very pleased, will add updates after a longer run.

That's great reporting guys! I'm currently looking into the kits they do from mpsgarage.

Really hate drone with a passion so any feedback is great. Thanks guys!!

Also. What kits did you get? Downpipe included? Catback kits with both mufflers or stock mufflers??

Cat back Corksport with mufflers and full fitting kit from MPS Garage and at the price a really nice exhaust, probably can't be bettered.

Awsome thanks for that
Have you noticed a power difference??

do you think the sound/loudness would pass the 'wife' test?lol
