Greddy titanium catback: highly recommended!!!

Hi!
I've upgraded my exhaust and installed a greddy ti catback instead of the Megan Racing Muffler. All things I can say about this catback is that it's absolutely great. Great sound, great performance, great for all-eyes.
Just wanted to tell you, my FD now sounds like a killer machine. I'm reaaaaaaally happy!
Some pics:



I also wanted to make you a question. My FD is a 95 american imported one, but I don't know if it's a R2 or a touring. She has dual oil cooler, but also cruise control and rear fog lights... Can you help me?

That's cause that is no USDM rear bumper... Looks like a Euro bumper, note the space for the plate.


Victor FD, post the VIN number. Does the car have a sunroof? It looks like it might in the pic in your sig.

They usually run $700+ new.

I have the same exhaust and like it. The tip is a little big for me .....and I am not sure about the purple color, but it came with the car. Only weighs about 8 lbs too!


It's a little dirty in some pics...carbon buildup.

I have this catback and NOBODY has said it's too loud with stock sequential turbos, downpipe and a metallite cat. I HAVE recieved compliments on the great sound even by V8 guys. I do wish their was a more stock looking dual tip titanium catback as I don't like the huge tip but it's a minor gripe. I spend a lot more time listening to it than looking at it anyway .

I'll make a video as soon as I have my 99 rear spec spoiler installed. I hope tomorrow it will be done. The only word I find as a description for the greddy ti catback sound is "STRONG". It's definitely not too loud, at last with my setup: stock twins, downpipe and bonez hi-flow cat. And I also love the burnt finished...

And... yes! I have a sunroof


Do you say that this is not an american spec rear bumper?? I understand nothing, because in my local Mazda they told me that my car was an american spec one. This is the vin number: JM1FD3337R0302548.
As I have told you my FD has both dual oil cooler set and cruiser control, so I don't know if it can be a 95 R2 or a touring one, but I thought that all touring models came with only one oil radiator...

Someone could have added the oil cooler themselves. 95 models are also a little strange because their was no touring model.

FD3s2005 here's my short audio clip

I got a clip on myspace i think if i put the link in it'll work out okay without having an account. My dad just randomly decided to video tape my car around the corner, ignore the ugly bra and stuff on the car it looks a lot different now. http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...ideoid=2946972

Actually i have driven next to several cops, one on stupid highway 100 in Milwaukee, and have yet to get pulled over. If you don't drive like a dumb *** and choose your gear right it's not that loud. One followed me for almost 3 miles with several stop lights in between.

Does it have the 3k rpm drone on the highway at 80mph?


The "R" in the vin identifies it as a 94 (95 is S), check the paint code in the doorjam, the 94 did not come in CYM.

Check your Chassi number.
If it starts with JM1FD, its USDM. But has others said, that rear bumber is strickly Euro spec. So if it is a USDM car, someone bought the rear bumber instead of just installing a cheap fog light in the rear to make it legal (like on my case.... rear fog lights are required in europe btw guys).
My car came from the USDM and lots of 7 here in europe are USDM, but there are a few EDMs around, depends alot on the country u're in.

2 oil coolers, defenatly R model... do what BlueTII said to find out if its 1 or 2.
