MPS Gen 2 Downpipes

[Airsk]

Hey guys,

I know this questions has been asked a million times, but I'm after advice on which is the best downpipe to purchase from people that have used them.

One which has no issues, is a quality product, easiest to install, good product support, good pricing.

There is so many options and you dont really know untill you try one.

MRT
CES
Turbo XS
CP-e
COBB
Best Mufflers

I think buying local is the best option for any issues and to support local business.

I would get a 2XS one (Twin Outlet)

[Reedy]

I like the build quality of the CP-e one but mine gave me a check engine light recently that's been a bit of a bugger. It's a harmless CAT efficiency related CEL so not really a problem but annoying nonetheless.

All aftermarket DP's will have a chance of throwing CEL's tho, if anything I would recommend you get one that doesn't need to be cut up and re-welded just to replace the cat, if there's one that it can just bolt in and out of then get that.

MRT
CES
Turbo XS
CP-e
COBB
Best Mufflers

MRT - Link?
CES - Twin DP - Do not buy one. If you do, I will hunt you down. You can buy mine, pretty much the same thing, but, mine bolt's directly to the std system and the CES one is alot dearer. (Yes, I used to work there)
TurboXS - Made in China, enough said.
Cp-e - Single DP - Very well made, comes at a price.
Cobb - Single DP - Well made, for a single outlet style DP.
Best Mufflers - Single DP - CELs are a definate for the Gen 2.

Others not listed

Corksport - Twin DP - Well made, good price, flawed when it comes to the design. The stepped section is too aggressive.
2XS - Twin DP - Best value for maximum Kw. I've tried to keep the cost below that of even the BM item.

CP-e for gen-II is a Twin DP???
Stepped section? thats the section steppping down diameter just before the stock (or other) remainder of the exuast, correct?

From others impressions I would have gone wits a 2XS Twin DP (if i had not already ordered CP-e....)

Sorry, Corksport is twin DP.
CP-e is same as BM item.

Yes, the stepped section is where it gets larger.

So far 25,000k and cpe has not thrown a cel. Originally installed at 5000k. Well made pipe IMO.

[mpsgarage]

MRT = ?
CES =we have add CEL's on GENII before
Turbo XS =CEL's on both GEN's & dosn't fit properly
CP-e = NO CEL's a 20% power increase on average on both GEN's & a lifetime warranty. Cast bellmouth design, which deliver's the best power for internal wastegate turbo's.Catt passes California emission laws, which are above Aust.
COBB =same design as the CP-e just with a different Catt & still meet Aust emissions.
Best Mufflers =CEL's on GENII
CorkSports =Value for money, but uses standard Catt

We offer the CP-e supplied & fitted for $1500.
Just need to call & book in.

Hi 2XS, I have had a look in the forums and cant find the price for your Twin DP, can you please let me know, also is it in stainless steel? and is there an extension kit for the O2 sensor, or will you give us instructions on how to do that if we buy from you ?

I got a 3 MPS gen 2 is there any problems with CELS on this model ?

Cheers

Mine is in mild steel.
Extending the O2 sensor is easy, if you know what you are doing, or use an auto eleccy.
It is $900 including postage.


I've fitted mine to Gen 2s and had no CELs with other mods including my FMIC and SRI.

Depending on other mods, you can possibly get a CEL regardless of mods (only on Gen 2) Even without mods, Gen 2s can get a CEL.

do u need an ecu retune for downpipe upgrade?

do u need an ecu retune for downpipe upgrade?

No..

[kippo]

thanks
coz' i was told it will cause boost spike

[2XS]

A poorly designed DP can cause boost spike.
A bad tune can cause boost spike.

A restrictor pill will cause boost spike.

They did have the prices on the website for the MRT downpipe but cant seem to find it now but it was under $1000. Here's the link to the you tube vid of it Mazda 3 MPS Gen 2 Pt 4 exhaust test. - YouTube

What the difference between yours and the CES downpipe? Other then it being stainless?

I've designed mine to bolt up to the original system.
The CES item doesn't. You need to buy their system.

Yes, with 1 cat.

[Jrbris]

i have a gen 1 and have CES stainless sytem. only ever thrown 1 cel and once removed it's never come back.


i dont have the resonator installed thou, only muffler and hiflow cat. not extremely loud only on cold start.

i have seen troys and it's basicly the same just mild steel, im personaly not a fan of using mild steel. i met troy at ces and didnt know about 2xs racing. i would recommend his sytem it has had alot of R&D in the design.

[Lachlan]

Yes, with 1 cat.

Cheers troy....early Xmas present is tempting
