Mazdatrix Exhaust or...

I have no emissions in my state and would like the best performance full exhaust system out there for a N/A with a not-so-deaf-tone + good sounding. I heard good things about Mazdatrix and am currently thinking about purchasing one soon here. What do you guys think? Feel free to post other exhaust recommendations!!!

BTW, does anyone have any soundclips of the mazdatrix exhaust? -thx

Alright cool.

I have another question, I plan on swapping a 13BT onto my car in the near future. I think it would be wise to buy the Complete Turbo II System but would that bolt onto my N/A without problems because I need an exhaust right now as mine is totally rusted/leaking.

BUY the Racing Beat True Dual System for now.........once you get the 13BT ready to install sell your headers and midpipe and catback on the forum to someone looking to upgrade their NA and with the cash you buy the RB Turbo-BAck. Trust me someone will always want an RB True duals( older members and perhaps some newbies).

So your saying that the Turbo II system would absolutely not bolt onto a N/A?

Darn, guess I'll do what you suggested.

that and the complete TII kist that hes talking about (the 59 hp gain one) I'm looking into buying. and it comes out of the turbo exhaust and back. So unless you can bolt it to the N/As turbo exhaust(being sarcastic here), I don't think it's possible.

I agree with the guy who said get the N/A RB kit. use it, then when you get the TII engine, sell the N/A kit (it will go FAST RB is highly desired, probably one of the best Mazda parts companies) then you'll only have to pay the diff on the complete turbo kit.

Forgive me because I'm not familiar with the Racing Beat exhausts, but unless it's all a one piece exhaust, there shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't buy the TII exhaust and take it to a muffler shop in town and have them make a piece that fits your header to the new cat, then just keep the parts you don't use in a box for when you do get that upgrade. I've got an adapter going from my NA's headers to a 3" high-flow cat into 2 1/2" duals for my (someday) turbo, so I don't know why they can't do the same for you.

I'm not sure.

Heres the link http://www.racingbeat.com/resultset....rtNumber=16425

I heard that the catback itself will bolt on to my stock parts. In that case, I'll probably just order this turbo II exhaust and holdon to the presilencer + downpipe for until I swap.

Actually, I need more insight before I order.

So, the plan here is to order the Turbo II Exhaust for my N/A(swapping to turbo later) so I dont have to waste money/time on buying a n/a exhaust and ending up selling it later for the turbo one.

I know part of the full exhaust won't bolt up without welding(or maybe not at all?) but I heard the catback will bolt on fine...is this true?

Not a rotor? Not a motor.
