I have a Racing Beat cat back - single exit - also. Standard centre section and CAT but replacement downpipe which also eliminates the pre-cat. Not what I would call noisy or rumbly at all. More of a wrasping purr. Very happy with it... but thinking of changing to a HKS Super Drager cat-back to be honest. Canny decide!?!

does anyone have a picture of the tiger cat back?

Hi

Send a pm to Clive at shy autos and he will send you a photo of the tiger back box...I had it sent but can not find it...

I also might be getting it as my car after getting a de cat silenced mid pipe (dragon) and with the HKS back box is a touch too loud.

I want however big box and a decent tail pipe in diameter...the HKS tail pipe I have is nearly 5"  

Any any one any idea what looks as good as the HKS but it\'s quieter?

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but my question is somewhat related.

My car is bone stock with precat and the original catalytic converter in place (so, original downpipe and midpipe).

Anyone used the A\'PEXi GT exhaust on an original setup like this before? How was sound? I\'m pretty sure it won\'t be all that bad as long as my precat and cat are still in place.

Another question related to this; Will I have the risk of boost creep with only a cat-back exhaust and an intake? Or will the boost creep come when I remove the precat and catalytic converter? I\'m getting my wastegate ported, but was hoping I can wait until some other things to save money. In my head the boost creep shouldn\'t be a problem with cats in place, but anyone have first hand experience here?

I think you\'ll be fine with the cat in place, but as soon as you open up the exhaust you may get boost creep. I still think the apexi gt backbox will be loud even with the cat in place. If you want a quiet exhaust,get one with a big baffle box and not a round cheery bomb type exhaust. The quiet exhausts off the top of me head are the racing beat, Re-amemiya dolphin,  and tiger, maybe more can\'t think of them?

I\'ve got a racing beat system (no cat).  At cruise it is very, very quiet.  On full boost it roars.

For me, it is the perfect compromise.  I\'ve also had several people tell me how nice it sounds.

I recommend it highly.

We have the Dragon designed tiger exhaust, mid and rear, exclusive to Dragon via us. Dragons Tiger exhausts are on the new and latest design, which is not available anywhere else. All other FD exhausts made by Tiger are on the old designs. This can be confirmed by Tiger on 01884 33454

You\'ve got the wrong URL - try http://www.mazdarx7.co.uk/. I\'ve also got a Racing Beat exhaust on both cars and I\'m happy with the sound, plus they\'re not too noisy so I can drive the cars for quite a while without getting a headache...
