advice on replacement back box

[alexb]

Cheers mate. It does look nicely built, I\'ll let you know how I get on once it\'s fitted (probably next weekend).

id really like just a backbox for mine, not to loud though, preferably so it\'s near quiet when idling in the mornings.

how much are backbox\'s on there own generally?

Bad news

On inspection the pipe-work was damaged in the crash that wrote the car off, so my Mazdaspeed is no more

Looks like it\'ll be a Racing Beat from RX Motors or Rotechnics - good news for you guys!

Shaq has teh mazdaspeed exhaust and its the best Ive heard on an FD. Its suits the FD well I think. I\'ll find pics...

In response to the question of price - I just had a stainless back pipe and box built, stainless weld and fixing, for £200.  The parts were Powerflow I think, and all free flowing.  Power definitely seems up a bit on the Mazda box previous, and I\'ve got used to the slight sound of rushing air at teh higher revs.

Took 2 or 3 hours to be built, but I enjoyed the experience of a part being made that really fits!

Well, after a HUGE delay, I finally ditched my knackered oem back box... I\'ve just had a Racing Beat twin-exit fitted at Jimmy\'s (usual exemplary service & cheers for the loan of your turbo II Andrew )
Verdict: the nicest (car related) thing I\'ve seen and heard in a long time - exactly what I was looking for. A bit pricy but worth it - I just need it to stop snowing so i can get out and appreciate it!

good on ya

got the racing beat system on mine but with the single exit and must agree the sound is awesome. sounds a bit like a german messerschmitt at high revs!

found build quality to be very good aswell

Ive got the MAZDA SPEED back box.  Its a nice 5" tail pipe, and its a nice burble at idle, and not too loud under acceleration.  I think i only have the back box, but i havnt had a chance to go under the car looking.

As long as your happy with it, exhausts are a very personal thing.

Jason,
Mine was new from RX Motors, with Andrew at Jimmy\'s fitting it, the final bill was £593 Hence the "a bit pricy" comment in my last post!

Cheers,
Alex
