I have a crazy catback from ractive that was given to me as a gift. I dont know if they even sell it... all I know is mine was the first of its kind, saw them making it. Basically I was called by the mazda dealership and they asked if I wanted to lend my car for a day to be studied and measured. I said sure, so I met up with this guy named Johnathan Wylde, hes the president of Toucan Industries.. Ractive. He basically bought a 2004 Mazda 6 I4 complete basic... like the cheapest u can buy... which didnt make a difference... since mazda sold it to him for 1 dollar... it was basically donated by mazda... anyways
Why did he ask for my car if he has his own?... simple, it was october 2003 and they had a shipping error for his 6... so desperate, he asked the dealer if there were any ppl that wanted a chance to get some free shit and learn a thing or two. So my buddy at the dealership called me right away. I said... my two favorite words are "FREE SHIT". They took my mufflers off, measured, put new exhaust on, fit perfectly... but they didnt let me HEAR IT!!! god damn them!!.. they took off the new exhaust again and put it on their new 6 when it came in a few days later.
Basically he was desperate... because they wanted to get the car into SEMA 2003... he made the first COMPLETE CARBON FIBRE mazda 6... with turbo, exhaust system (mine...) and some other stuff.
Anyways, when it was done, he took it off his car, and gave me the exhaust... said "Here, keep it" I was like :S what did i do to my poor baby...
but then I turned the car on... omg... I almost creamed. So ya I have 1 of 2 exhaust systems... mines the very first, the other one obviously the second and its now on the new mazda 6 carbon fibre body.
Thats the story of why my exhaust sounds completely different than other 6's with mufflers. And the reason why most car alarms go off when I drive near. :yesnod:

These videos arent capturing what it really sounds like... its almost impossible to capture the exact sounds we hear and what the recording device hears on the camera.
