NB8A exausts?

Postby RG.net » Sat Feb 10, 2007 11:37 am

hey guys, i've been driving the mx the way its ment to be dríven lately and i must say it has one sexy engine note. anyway i was curious if anyone on here had an aftermarket exaust put onto their NB, i havent seen many around other then the x-speed (i think) and racing beat, but to me they look a little dull, however on the mania website, there is a picture with a dual exaust with dual mufflers and thats something i would want to get, anyway any links or info regarding your exaust would be apprieciated :)

Sorry to link to another forum, but this might give you a larger range to look at and some people have added sound files.

step 1) would be a \"cat back\" exhaust and higher flowing muffler
step 2 a) the SP Motorsport larger secondarys and hi flow cat .. or
step 2 b) replace the whole headers with an aftermarket set

If you're looking at NB8A headers from American suppliers please remember that they had a cast exhaust manifold that didn't flow as well as ours, so don't expect the same performance gains they offer.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

My cheapo press bend cat back system was under $150 with a new muffler.
