sound and how good it is would be an oppinion. RB and ApexI N1's are popular with most around here. for a good power gain you should probably get a 3" single exhaust but if you like the two mufflers in the back RB sells a full exhaust.

For the sound i would say the Apexi N1 dual, for power i would say the full Racing Beat exhaust system.

the Mazdatix exhaust narrative is helpful. You might want to read it.

PS RB is actually quieter than the ApexI N1's

i just picked up a CS exhaust the other day. man it sure does look nice. too bad im spending money on stupid exhaust and not on the motor to rebuild it so i can hear the damn thing seriousley tho, the CS exhaust is very well put together. but i havent heard it yet. but it should be louder than the N1 because it dosnt have a presilencer.

The racing beat complete system adds the most power of any exhaust system for the FC that Im aware of. Not sure on sound though.

So you know none of these exhaust systems is going to make your car sound like a muscle car, it will sound like a small displacement engine, which it is.

So true. 1.3L 0 POWAH!!


The only exhaust mod you can do to make it sound MEAN is straight pipes from a dual outlet header or just the headers.


ooops I mean a down pipe. Damn TII
