    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.

    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.

    Default Fitted Corksport Exhaust

    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.

    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.

    Took my time fitting, it took longer to get the old exhaust off than to fit the new. Took me a liesurely couple of hours.

    Minor position adjustment today - slight rattle from touching shroud at bumper - 5 minute fix - loosen right muffler reposition and retighten - I guess the mounting donuts settled.

    Default Corksport exhaust update

    Yes it does drone, but only at constant light loads as in accelerating lightly uphill. The noise when up it is not really a drone and pretty pleasant.

    It also drones a bit at cold start high idle, but as idle drops so does drone.

    Minor fault is that the plastic shield over the fuel pump is too close to the exhaust and melts. Kathy noticed a burning smell on the Burrawang Cruise at Bundanoon. Plastic droplets stuck on exhaust. Easy fix - drill a small hole in cover and tie up with a cable tie to metal heat shield just in front of cover. Gives plenty of clearance.

    The perfectionist I am, I spent hours trimming the cover, fitting a heat shield and making it look neat. The cable tie would have taken a few minutes and solved the problem, should have done it when I fitted the exhaust.

    Very happy, fuel economy appears better 9.2 litres per 100 k's whereas usually on a trip 9.8 at best but usually just over the 10. Top end acceleration also appears better, but time and more driving will confirm.

    For Mal - probably next is a strut brace - put one on my S14 and transformed the car - put one on the next car the VX SS and also made a remarkable improvement.
