neons are easy to install. As for the exhaust you could get the raicing beat exhaust for mazda 6 which is a bolt on axleback exhaust or you can weld on another axleback exhaust.

 

[xavierh0719]

are the racing beats any loud? and how good is the sound quality?

 

[xavierh0719]

and im thinking about buying just a muffler and have someone weld it on will that be cheaper?? and would that sound good?

Try doing the air box mod before I bought a muffler and had it welded on. I wanted a new exhaust for a while until I found out about the airbox mod. Just make sure you take out the resonator, flap, and leave the tuba on. Love how my car sounds now. Not too loud and just enough growl when I floor it. I don't even have a CAI and I'm happy. I leave the exhaust systems and loud mufflers to the guys who have the money to build the engine and ACTUALLY go fast.

There's nothing funnier that a young kid in an import with a LOUD muffler flooring it and going nowhere at all.

Oh yeah, the lights are easy too!

lol and what does the airbox mod do ? and when u say take out the resonator u mean out of the muffler?

 

[mr.cheez]

Air Box Mod is a cheap mans cold air intake. Basically the stock air box has a flap and resonator reducing the intake of air and sound of the mufflers. You go in and remove them and wow, extra sound. I heard a big difference the first week or so, And now I hear it even more after about 2 months after removal (doubt it will get any louder though). See the url: Pure MPS. Mazda MPS forum. • View topic - How To - Air Box Mod

And search "air box mod" in the search box for more info

ok.. and what wud be ur suggestion for mufflers mr.cheez shud i just get a good cheap sounding one?

 

[mr.cheez]

Cheap mufflers will never give you good sound. It will make your car sound ricey, fart cannon, etc. If you really want to find out what the mufflers sound like, checkout youtube for "mazda 6 mufflers". I like how the magnaflows sound, but I'm not going to put that on my car because my car isn't as fast as it sounds! So, I put on 3.5" tips on the stock mufflers and did the air box mod.

It's truly up to you what you want to do. If your going to do engine upgrades, get the magnaflows. Some say they are loud, others say they are just right. I did the air box mod (free) to see what it would sound like before I dropped the $400+ on a magnaflow setup. I'm happy with how it sounds, but I'm also 25. I don't want a 150hp Mazda 6 sounding like it's 500hp. I'll be buying a muscle car next with at least 300hp...then I'll put loud ass mufflers on it.

thanks im bout to do the airboz mod as we speak lol

 

[xavierh0719]

i tried to do it but cudnt get the very bottom thing up to atke the piece out... so i gues im not doing that one

There is a youtube video of how the racing beat exhaust sounds on a 6s. It's also not as loud as the typical fart cannon you see on civics, sunfires ect.

you dont want a muffler. you want to wait and save up for a catback. worth it.
