either way, it doesn't change how loud the corksport exhaust is. especially with a race pipe.
I say that's a good idea. Take the winter to think it over.Quote:

Don't read into my tone when I make a post. I'm just telling it as it is. But I will take you all the way back to August, where we already had a very similar conversation. Which MajesticBlueNTO answered that question before I had a chance to.Quote:

Instead of just jumping around from post to post, if you take the time to take in all the information, you might actually learn something and people wouldn't have to repeat themselves. No one is saying not to post in the mazdaspeed section but sometimes it's just distracting to the OP who obviously came here to learn something instead of being fed information which is inaccurate.
At the end of the day, you're the only person who's worked up.
Anyway, to give credit where credit is due, you mentioned Snotrocket's car. That was going to be the example I would have used, but you must keep in mind that his car has a full Ultimate Racing turbo back exhaust system (TBE) that is catless. Yes his car is loud (I stood 5 feet behind it during two 4th gear pulls at dyno day), however, I don't think that it is as loud as Kiyomi's car, and I've only heard his car since he's taken out the racepipe.
The OP did mention installing a racepipe along with the CBE but from his later posts, if he did change out the downpipe to the Cobb it seems like he'd be installing a catted version. Yes it'll be loud but it's not going to be as insane as you make it out to be.
I believe you've got it into your head that I am targeting you, or that I'm trying to put you down in every single one of my posts. Believe me, I'm not. So just relax.
let's play nice :PQuote:

I would factor in how soon in the future you'd be changing the downpipe to help decide if it's even worth buying the racepipe at all. I guess it all depends on where you want the car to end up performance wise.
Also, and hopefully someone with a GEN2 can chime in, I'm not sure how much you can really change without running the risk of running into fueling problems.
good luck, and happy modding.
nope i actually dont... anymoreQuote:

I ran into problems in the winter time when I just had the SRI+TIP and AP on a Stage 1 tune, so I think it depends on the car.Quote:

I've heard that the CS CBE has drone in the cruising rpm, but those guys all have an aftermarket DP.
My Gen1 Speed ran into fuelling issues with just the SRI and TIP alone, no other mods... but only when it was bitter cold -20C and below...
You guys have me all confuses now...
So I'm now thinking I'm going to order the Cobb Downpipe, plus the Corksport CBE.
Question however... if I do this I get a CEL right? (Is it possible to disable the light, not that I particularily want that)
Another... What exactly are you guys talking about fuel issues, is it going to be undriveable if I do those mods without doing more mods?
I'll let fywdyl answer this so there's less confusion. but it all has to do with the fuel pump and the fuel pressure.Quote:

HOWEVER, my Gen2 is not even a year old, I'm not sure with how young the car is how crazy I want to go with my modding just yet... the racepipe/CBE gives no CEL and generally no major issues, just a bit more power, and a nice sound (or at least it sounds like it on youtube)
I'll admit, I race this car very infrequently, that being said I plan on buying some track tires/wheels to run on next year for track days so having more power is a definate plus.
I really do like the head turning effect, I think a set of rims will help with that. I like the inquisitive looks this car gets from people.
Bottom line, I want an angry looking, angry sounding sleeper.... (Quote a friend made of my car already)
Well... screw it, Im an impulse buyer... just ordered the racepipe (catless) and the CBE... also... anyone have opinion of these rims on a Black Gen2?

I like your attitude. Those rims will look good. I'm a fan of the black on black. That's how my car is.
what kind of cbe?Quote:

Im thinking on buying a set that are 17" for my winters, selling my OEM 18" wheels as well... then deciding on what to do for the summer come spring
I thought cbe is cat back exhaust lol... thats what I was askingQuote:

Well update, the product isn't going to be shipped until the end of October... so more than likely I'll wait until Spring to put this stuff on... depends how I feel when it gets here... knowing me I'll say screw it put it on!
That is what I meant... just wasnt sure why you put a question mark at the end of your answer lolQuote:
