[creedns]

So i have the played out red and matte black theme goin on my car like everyone but it works haha anyways i was thinkin bout gettin the rear portion of my turbo xs catback powdercoated matte black. What u guys think?

.. if it can handle the heat..

Should be able to. I've seen guys on the other forum powder coatin their manifolds and downpipes. And no i'm not confusin that with ceramic i was pretty suprised myself

turboxs tbe home to the loudest exhaust on a ms3! hah.

[STRICK-]

You can get it powdercoated as long as its a high temp powder. Most likely its going to be a flat textured black. It will either look cool or really dirty 247.Good luck

[creedns]

HAHA it is constantly covered in soot anyways!!!

Hells fuckin yeah!!! I love it drowns out the road noise lol

[714ms3]

Mine looks powder coated due to the heavy amount of soot on that bitch. I can never keep it clean.

hah drones for sure. loud as fuck. i hated it at first but i dont notice it much now, sounds good though. my hks is vented and when it back fires FUCKKKK it back fires man.

[creedns]

Mine backfires in recirc sometimes lol its great when ur right next to a car with your window down so that shit blows your ear drums out. Gotta love the low speed barble it has though!!!

You guys know that the "powdercoated manifolds" are ceramic coated right?

Sorry to thread jack, but I'd like to thank you guys for cancelling out corksport and turboxs TBE's off my list.. What's one of the more quiter TBE out there, without any silencers of course? How's CPE?

EDIT*

Just watched a couple youtube videos.. CP-E TBE sounds perfect..

Not sure y u would pc a cat back ... It's never seen just do IM and ur turbo mani

[mazdaspeed32007]

sand it down yourself and spray that bitch with highheat. cheapest way to do it, you dont have to worry and the heat and the pc, plus i bet you wont notice the diff between the two on an exhaust because its going to be under your car. as said before its going to get dirty anyway....i would see why you would pc rims or something under the motor so it looks tight and clean as hell....but under the car? my 2c. i want to see it when your done either way

[creedns]

No not the whole cat back haha just the very back section like near the exhaust tip. I'm kinda iffy on it though cuz with the car bein so loud and the exhaust bein painted black people might just think i sawed off the muffler which i don't want lol i'm up in the air on this one

[essejkcamraw]

hah! i was driving next to an STI today with a hacked off exhaust... it didnt sound too good. if anything, get some grill paint. that shits for high temps and should work, and if you no likey... strip that shit. maybe paint it black with red lip hah (naughty)

[creedns]

If i strip it no more shiny exhaust tip. It'll look like dooky all scotch bright'd down lol and red lip WAY to rice hahaha

[bluelion]

what if you powdercoat it black and have the lettering in red......

[creedns]

Wait what lettering lol

[creedns]

Changed my mind. Gonna spend the dough and paint my valve cover while my motors still apart. Got a couple cool things waitin to go in there pictures will be up when they're up

[bluelion]

oh, didn't know it didn't have lettering....i thought maybe it had lettering like the mazdaspeed exhaust says "mazdaspeed" on the tip or the COBB....

A lot of it comes down to the catback... RB is quiet at low speeds and idle and opens up at higher RPM. Greddy is pretty quiet as well, so is the CP-E with the muffler and resonator. You will also notice a difference in running catless vs. highflow cat. TurboXS and CS downpipe/racepipes are both catless set ups. Hence, more noise.
I think the noise you get from a performance exhaust on this type of car is something that just comes with the territory. It is an obnoxious little turbo 4 banger... it's not meant to be quiet!
