I have some racing beat mufflers I can give you for 100+ shipping.



They sounded great, only a little louder than stock. Let me know if you're interested.

What kind of sound do you want? Mufflers are very subjective things. The RB mufflers are nice. They aren't tinny or raspy and they are built well. They aren't overly loud and have a nice tone. For $100 it's hard to go wrong. If you are looking for louder then look somewhere else. If you odn't buy those mufflers, I know someone who will.

Um...because I have no use for them. They came on the car when I had bought it, I was also given a true dual racing beat + custom exhaust which is on there now. They've been sitting in my friend's backyard for weeks. Didn't know there was such a big demand for them, I'll put them up for sale when I get pics.

Is it just the mufflers or the whole catback system, Ypipe and mufflers? If it's Y-pipe and mufflers *catback* I can give you $150 for it whenever you want to sell them.

Check out supertrapp mufflers. Allot of my britbike friends use them and they sound great. You can even adjust the sound and backpressure you want by adding or subtracting plates.

For $325 you could get brand new racing beat mufflers. $100 for used isn't entirely implausable.

Racing Beat mufflers are top quality. They will last a long time (forever?), sound nice and won't be too loud. Racing Beat is probably the most popular and trusted company around this forum. Those mufflers will add 5-7HP, too.

Be sure to get new gaskets for the mufflers. I suppose a Mazda dealer would have them. Or an automotive store might have them. See if the rubber muffler hangers need replacing while you're at it (are they still rubbery, or are they brittle?). Besides that, just unbolt the old mufflers, remove old gaskets, clean surfaces if necessary, add new gaskets, and bolt on new mufflers. It shouldn't be too hard. You can often re-use the old gaskets, but new gaskets are cheap enough. With old gaskets you run the risk of an exhaust leak, then your exhaust gets loud, you have to remove the mufflers, put new gaskets on, etc.
