BUMP for the best sounding Protege exhaust out there!

By the way, if you want to sell the silencer separate, let me know!

Thanks everyone for your inquiries. My schedule is a bit slammed, so please don't take offense if by chance I don't respond to your individual IM's. I'll take your questions and try to answer them for everyone here:

-The exhaust has about 20,000 miles on it.

-Everything that you need to mount this to your car is included: bolts, nuts, mounts, clamp(s), etc. You will need new gaskets to suit whatever setup you're running. This really depends on what you're bolting the exhaust up to (variable), so I didn't buy new for you. I've got (x2) from Apex that i'm happy to include if you want to try them.

-Numbers? I have no clue. I ran this NA and drive like a grandma. The car looks and sounds great, but high horsepower or speed was never really the goal. I read claims up to 20hp before I bought it.

-The JDM equipment doesn't fit the best. Coming from the factory in japan, these will touch the bumper when mounted. I am a neat-freak and wanted it to fit perfectly, so I tried probably 10 different brands of exhaust hangers to remedy this. Searching here, I found the other owners (rishie, mp3skaternc, eggynatey) all had the exhaust hangers bent to fit. I ended up doing this and running the regular autozone hangers. That work should be pretty much done, and it should bolt up nicely.

-The sound is the best part. I don't have any recordings for you, but it's the closest to a modified WRX that this car is going to sound. It's not anywhere near as loud as the greddy or megan, but it is loud, and thats why theres a silencer.

-I prefer local sales here in the DC area. I give total preference to local sales, unless you are willing to pay every cent of the fees incurred. I'm happy to use whatever service(s) you choose, but thats really on you.

-And yes, I really do have the stock exhaust back on the car! I honestly don't know what else is coming off the car and will be for sale, you really just have to keep an eye out.

Thanks for your interest.

Any idea on shipping charges to 45458?

EDIT: Very interested, give me an idea on shipping, and I'll throw in a few more bucks for the boxes and tape, so you get all of the money you're asking.(drinks) I'll cover the PayPal fees too.

PayPal is ready to go.

That is the same exhaust, yes.

But, I think they have the wrong pictures listed there. The first image looks like the titanium model and the lower picture shows a detachable canister, which it is welded, at least for the proteges.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this comment to answer.

JIC is, I guess one of the premier Japanese aftermarket manufacturers for mazda. I think they are most widely known for their suspension equipment, namely with the drift and autocross cars. Like work wheels and autoexe bodykits, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the premium prices :)

The wagon exhuast is a little shorter then the sedan so it dont stick out to the edge of your bumper like the exhuast like factory. It will still fit from waht I under stand just a little shorter then stock.

Is it 60 or 73mm? Dunno why I'm asking since you would rather not ship and there are about 20 ppl in front of me offering to pay off your mortgage, hire you a midget stripper, and fly you both to the tahiti if you'll send it to them, but maybe just maybe I'll have to make a road trip up to D.C. lol

The exhaust piping is the ~2.4"

I wasn't aware they made one with larger piping.

as requested, here is the google checkout link:

http://www.google.com/base/a/3193039/D18326025132681415361

I have no idea how it works, or even if it works!

I've checked my storage room for boxes, and none fit, so I will buy new and bubble wrap it.

Price is $240 shipped to CONUS
