New MSP Part Hit the Market!!!

[MemphisRacer]

Hey All!!!!

High-Strung Motorsports has now completed its first of many projects to come for the MSP. It is an Axle-back Replacement Pipe for the 2003-2003.5 and up Mazdaspeed Protege!!! This piece replaces the factory racing beat muffler with our BOLT UP axle-back assembly and is also considerably lighter at 6.2lbs (6 times lighter than stock!!!). It is very simple to install and no pipe ships out unless it has been installed, on a MSP in the shop to check for alignment and position. It sounds mean as hell and looks excellent! I selected a rolled, slash cut tip that looks VERY aggressive because let's face it, if it sounds the part, it's gotta look the part! It is a one piece assembly and can be installed in under 30 minutes using only a wrench to uninstall the factory muffler and to install our axle back assembly. The cost is $100.00+shipping. E-mail me with your address for shipping details or if you have any other questions at MemphisRacer@yahoo.com.

EDIT:
Payment for this part can be made with PayPal (quickest and easiest), cashier's check, or money order and orders will ship within 7-10 business days (due to the volume of sales.) If paying with Cashier's checks and money orders, please e-mail me for instructions. Thank you very much to everybody that has purchased one or is considering the purchase of one of these awsome axle-backs and we are all anxiosly awaiting your feedback!!!!!

AGR#7 (Greg) and I will be getting together sometime this week to film a 30 second video that will be posted so that you all may bow(bow)down to the rumble of our mazdaspeeds:D

[ARD MP5]

So is this just for sound?? Being a rear section only, would it provide a power increase?

Thanks, Rishie

[MemphisRacer]

I know for a fact that this allows for a faster spool and less backpressure. I begin to spool at 2500rpm and make full boost around 3300. As for exact horsepower numbers, I dont have a dyno of a car with it. AGR#7, Greg has the first production model on his car and he has driven my car and was very pleasently stricken with both of them.

EDIT: I'm not promising any gains in horsepower, but I am promising that your car will sound like one mean cruiser for a fraction of the price of most any other axle-back!! For the quality and value, you couldn't find another axle-back system that will make your car sound this good. (hear ya) (thumb)

[sumixxam]

Would this be a good idea if you are planning to remove the cats?....Would this make the car too loud?....

[MemphisRacer]

I dont know about that one, I haven't touched anything in front of the rear axle section. I am willing to guess that it wont be the noise that will pose a problem but the tone that might un-nerve you. It will probably become raspy and you may run the risk of sounding ricey. I thought about removing my rear cat today but fear the dredded CEL that will occur. This piece was originaly designed for the people that want that full, aggressive, exhaust system sound without the full exhaust system price ($800-1100) I know that installing this piece will reduce the exhaust restriction enough to allow you to spool quicker and the entire axle back section weighs about 10lbs as opposed to around 35-40 of the stock axle-back.

are you saying the RB axle0back section weighs 35-40lbs? maybe the catback?

[MemphisRacer]

I know it's a heavy m'fer!!! I will break out the ole' bathroom scale tommorrow and see just how much they both weigh. No matter what the scale says, my axle back weighs about 1/3rd of the RacingBeat axleback.

[AGR]

It sounds fantastic! When I got home last night, I decided to drive down the street to my buddy Joe's place (Blue Civic Si - you have all seen his car in various other posts), to let him check it out. He was blown away. I let him pilot it around the block, and up and down the street in our neighborhood, as I stood in his driveway. WOW!!! And; when it spools - it sounds just incredible! Total ANTI-RICE sound. Then; I drove it. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. (2thumbs)

If only for the sound....it's worth the price of admission! Remember Boys and Girls; I'm the old guy here (okay,,,so I act like 15-17 sometimes (chair))!! No matter - This pipe ROCKS!! (rockon)

Here is the tip...

Hey AGR#7: Being almost as old as you... ;) ... how's it on the freeway? A drone or does it mellow out with speed? Do you have any pics from underneath (I need to clear the ol' MSP hitch...). Thanks mang!

Oh - and give yourself some credit - you act like at least 21-23... besides, IIRC at that age you can even drink beer legally.

[laptopheaven]

What is the diameter of the pipe?

[njaremka]

so, if it's an axel back, it will fit all sedans?

will this affect emission testing?

Yeah! It mellows out for sure. But; at around 2200-2500rpms, it is louder. I'm at about 55mph behind a couple of cars this morning, and this truck in front signals to make a right turn. Everyone begins to slow, and I am downshifting to 4th, to 3rd......WOW! It sounds really good. Keep it mind; this morning, all of my windows were down.

My Wife won't be too keen on it, as a passenger, but she has her Protege ES!

I think it just sounds great! Corey and I are going to put together a couple of movie clips in the next day or so, and get them posted.

[LiLiTaLy]

SOUND! and DYNO would be tight haha

[MemphisRacer]

Hey Everybody!!!

This is great:D Please keep the questions and comments coming, ill do my best to answer them.

Ping- It sounds very mellow at idle, just an ever-so-slight rumble heard from outside the car; from about 2200-2500rpm, the growl is heard inside a little more, and from 2500-redline it just sounds great! After the turbo begins to spool and push mass amounts of air through it the exhaust note settles into a roar from the outside of the car but on the inside remains a mellow hum (hear ya)

AAron- It will not violate any sound or emmisions laws. We designed it to accomodate the owners that are concerned with meeting inspection standards (I have to be inspected as well), as well as the people that want that mean ass sound coming from their exhaust system. No cats were harmed in the making of this exhaust system :)

Laptopheaven- The diameter of the pipe from flange to tip is 2.25" and the o/d of the tip is 3.5". (2thumbs)

njaremka- I am unsure about that, I'll see if i cant dig up a sedan and try it on for size, I'll let you know if i find anything out. (scratch)

Lilitaly- I'll be getting with Greg soon on doing a couple of sound and video clips of the MSP's in action with my exhaust on them.

Yeah! What he said! I think I got 4 of 5 correct? Cool!

... I just got back from taking 2 co-workers for rides (2 different rides). They liked it! The power,,,,,,, and the sound! (rockon)

[03P5]

I was under the impression the RB cat-back would fit both Sedans and P5's, and therefore, this should fit as well?

I would like to get a mellow axle back for my P5, and I hope something like this will fit. As I don't have compressed air flying out, it should be mellow throughout the RPM range.

Right PDH! I have one on my car now. We hope to do those movie clips tonight (if it doesn't rain).

[MemphisRacer]

PDH- that is the same tip as before.

About the video, we're going to have to hold off on it due to weather, we'll probably get it up on the site sometime saturday afternoon or sunday.

[Limited Edition]

I look forward to seeing these pictures. I always expected that when Mazda put on the RB exhuast, i wondered what kind of sound it makes? But the results are somewhat dissappointed. There's next to nothing from the RB. The only time i do hear it is right when i fire up the car, and when i downshift to slow down. Other then that, all the road noise from traffic and wind drowns it out. I hope this exhuast can bring the sound back altogether when i accelerate, downshift and when i'm in the mood, when i punch it! :D

[Limited Edition]

For those who have already have a custom exhuast with 2.5" or 3" piping, will they be able to bolt on this exhuast? I understand this is a direct bolt on for stock piping before the axle. I'm assume it won't work.

[MemphisRacer]

Just another note... the HSM Axle-back assembly weighs in at a very light 6.2lbs!!! :eek: :eek: How about them apples :D

Oh yeah! Trust me. You hear it just fine....!! I will post more pics tonight when I get home.

[MemphisRacer]

Limited Edition- This exhaust is what Mazda should have done in the first place. It has that aggressive tone with the look of a factory tuner piece. As far as your question, if the exhaust you are refering to still has the flange in the stock position and all factory hangers in place, I dont see why not but a reducer/adapter will have to be made onto the piece to accomodate the 2.5"-3" tubing.

[MemphisRacer]

Check below for the pics of our production model currently installed on Greg's MAZDASPEED Protege :D:eek:

Yeah!!!! I know. My Baby is filthy. All it has done is rain!!!:wtf:

[MemphisRacer]

The entire axleback assembly was welded together. The hangers are probably what you see and they are welded to the pipe. They slide into the black rubber hangers on the car. The process for installing this piece is very simple. Here is the process for removing/installing your HSM Axle-back assembly.

1. Unbolt the stock RacingBeat muffler, pop the hangers out of the black rubber supports, and remove it from underneath the car.

2. Take the HSM unit and slide the flange over the back of the rear crossmember with the tip pointing out the back.

3. While supporting the pipe, be carefull not to hit the bumper with it and put the passenger-side hanger thru the lower hole in the black rubber support.

4. once the passenger side is securely placed into the rubber support, push the assembly towards the passenger side and it will travel enough to allow you to place the hanger on the driver's side of the pipe into the hole on the bottom of the black support.

5. After both hangers are secured, use the bolt kit included with your axle-back to secure the flanges tightly. You will use the stock gasket so make sure it is secured tightly.

6. Give it a wiggle to make sure it is secure, start it up, and ENJOY!!!!!

[MemphisRacer]

Look at that ugly, restrictive, non aggressive sounding piece of crap!!!! (lol) just playing, but it isn't the bomb-diggity now is it... But look a couple of posts higher and you'll see what is :cool:

[JMS'sMSP]

I may be missing the point here but it doesnt look like there is much if any muffler at all? That is a good thing right? I am an idiot with exhaust.

[dj JINX]

The muffler you removed dosent look anything like mine. My muffler is polished with RACING BEAT engraved on the side ?!?:wtf:

[yashooa]

Mine is highly polished with Racing Beat on it as well.
However, I will stll get this mod to get rid of 20-30lbs of weight.
Damn Greg you got a shitty looking muffler on that early model car.

[MemphisRacer]

lol, guys, that is the racing beat muffler that came on mine as well but ours has MAZDASPEED on the tip.

JMS'MSP- there is no muffler nor is there a need for one with this system. The 90degree downpipe combined with (2) cats causes enough restriction to quiet the system down without one. My system carries that sound out to the rear of the car in an aggressive yet eye-pleasing fashion; eliminating the heavy stock muffler and gaining less restriction and more sound from our exhaust, a must for a sporty, turbo'ed tuner car of the MAZDASPEED's caliber.

[2K3 MSP]

I'd like to see a side by side of the two exhausts if it isn't any trouble...

[AGR]

I was just out looking at it....and no "Racing Beat" logo on mine anywhere. hmmmm. (thought maybe it was under the dirt)

But; hear this! - Just to give you guys some idea how this pipe sounds now; I took co-workers out for rides. These are guys that are as anti-rice as it gets. They drive American V8s. They both thought the 'new' sound (not to mention - power!!!) was excellent. They were very impressed. And; the Boost?! I love it!

When you are downshifting, and hit 3rd gear; the sound is awesome! It simply; KICKS ASS!!!

[Vapor]

Maybe I'm naive, but do we somehow remove the tip from the stock exhaust and add it to this product or does it come with its own?

[AGR]

No,,no! It comes with the tip; just like in my photos in this thread. The new tip is round. It's one piece. You take off one piece, and you put on one piece. No welding at all.

[MemphisRacer]

You said it Greg!!

The only thing the owner of the HSM Axle-back assembly will have to do is take off their old, heavy, quiet muffler...and install this new, lightweight, bad-ass sounding axle-back assembly!!! There is no cutting, welding, or modifying of any kind that needs to be done by the consumer.The whole swap should take about 15 minutes for the average Joe. 25-30 minutes for complete idiots but we dont have any of those among us :D

Corey and I will get the vids w/sound done.:cool:

[Limited Edition]

AGR#7, the Racing beat in engraved on the right, backside of the muffler. It has it on mine. Just clean your muffler and it should reveal a 'RacingBeat' wording on it.

Do you miss the word 'MAZDASPEED' imprinted on the side of your exhuast tip? I really like that touch from Mazda. But even with your mufflerless exhuast now, it looks like stock.
Now i can see how this weights on 6.2lbs because there's no muffler!

What is the piping made out of? It looks like it's rusting from the above pictures already. I hope you guys used stainless steel for this product. How difficult is it to remove the rusty old bolts? Damn, i think if i used a plyers on it, the bolt will just crack. It's soo rusty down there....

What you see that is rusty, is the Mazda side of the flanged area. There is no rust on the new piece. But yes; it does look really good, we think. As you can see; the tip is now round, and not oval like the original. But; it looks great!

I don't think the shop had any problem getting the original off. Like Corey was saying; it's about a 10-15 minute job swapping them out.

That's the beauty, isn't it?! You can be back to completely stock that quickly. And......wait 'till you hear it!!!

See what you can find out. I thought the original 'MAZDASPEED' logo was etched in the tip.

[MemphisRacer]

Nope! It is in fact a vinyl decal, I can get these made but I think I could serve jail time for copyright infringement:eek: I will check into putting a decal on it with our company name (High-Strung Motorsports) if the consumer would like me to do such :D I will check into the rates for such decals and let you know.

njaremka- I will have to get a hold of a sedan in order to test and see whether or not it will fit. Give me a couple of days and I'll see if i can get one in the shop to test.

Yeah sound clips would be nice

Sound AND video clips are on there way, they will be filmed this weekend.

Limited Edition- It is really that simple. you could throw a jack under the car, change out the exhaust, and drive away sounding 10x better in about 15 minutes!!!

whatwhat411- I have had 61 emails so far with people wanting to either order or to know how much the total would be shipped to their door.

[JMS'sMSP]

I just have one question... Does it sound rice?!?

[AGR]

It's really a great sound! I hate rice.....This is just badass! Unless; I'm losing my mind! :eek:

I told Corey last Friday night; that I would be interested if it wasn't 'rice'. Even though, I haven't known him but a couple of months, when he told me about the exhaust, I was really curious. I knew we thought a lot alike. I first heard it Saturday morning, and I was impressed. Now; I have one on my baby, and I love it!

Just for all that might have the same question- it is hard to get a turbo car to sound ricey :).. The turbo totally changes the exhaust note and turbo cars are usually deeper sounding, not abnoxious buzzing like ricers :).

[MemphisRacer]

Greg, I just thought of something else, what if you sat the camera on a chair or something outside and filmed a clip of you driving away from it? that would be awsome!!! (2thumbs)

Anyone car to explain to me how a 2.25" straight pipe, will spool faster or make power than a 2.25" straight through muffler like the car allready has? If you want your car louder I can see it, more power? Unlikely.

[MazdaspeedZOOM]

Are we ever going to get sound clips or video, cause I want one, I just don't want it to sound like ass. I've heard a lot of promises for sound and video but I think it's all just one giant tease isn't it.

I don't know about more power,,,,,,,but the sound is ANTI-RICE, and I love it. All of the V8 (1/4 mile) guys at work, think it sounds great.

Remember,,,I'm the old guy here. I HATE RICE!!!!!!! (chair)

Hahah- Memphis, you should have asked- I could have told you this was a tough crowd :).. I am curious though, is it mandrel or press bent? Later.

Hey Joe! I believe it's mandrell, but Corey can shed more light on that. He already has orders for 3 or 4.

I will tell you what the sound reminds me of. A friend of mine has an S1 Superformance Roadster with a 13B rotary (not sure what exhaust). I drove it last year, and loved the sound. This is similar.

I was a tough sell, believe me. Ha! I heard Corey's MAZDASPEED last Saturday for the first time with the new exhaust, and that was it! 'Had mine installed on Monday. Fantastic!!!


.....and again; the beauty is; you can re-install the original in just a few minutes. Although; I doubt I ever will.

[MemphisRacer]

Hey everybody,

I have posted before and I'll say it again for those that didnt see it before, I'm driving out to where Greg lives SATURDAY so we can get together and film some video clips. I'll try to get them up as soon as they are filmed.

Joe- (moon) thanks for the warning!!!!! (drinks)

I can't believe some of the stuff you guys buy into on these boards. Replacing the muffler really helped the turbo spool up faster? Uh huh. I'd love to see the times on this. Turbo spool is really only restricted by the size of the cast outlet, downpipe, and flow rate (or lack of) the catalytic convertors. I'm sure it sounds good. There's no doubt in my mind it sounds better, but I think you guys are falling for the "mental horsepower". We (msp owners) already have a very free-flowing sporty exhaust. If you're interested in an exhaust upgrade that ACTUALLY affects performance PM me or email to SVTMATTY@BELLSOUTH.NET. Oh, and I do believe you that it weighs less, but that in no way affects the turbo spool rate!! hahaha, you guys are so funny.

[AGR]

Who said anything about faster spooling, or more hp. I just like the sound of the HSM Axle-Back Exhaust. Plus; I'm boosting more,,,there's the HP I'm speakin' of. Together; it's beautiful music!

[Turbo Matty P]

"who said anything about spooling'?? re-read page 1 of this thread. About 3 or 4 posts into it. The guy who started the thread weaved the tale of how this really helped the turbo come alive!! Also, more boost is a good thing, but the factory muffler section is just fine for ANYTHING you can throw at it.

Bad day, huh, Turbo? I have it, because I like the sound. I know the stock system is fine. I like this better. For $100; I think it's a great upgrade. And; as I have said before, you can switch out to the original in less than 15 minutes. Maybe Corey believes it spools faster; I'm not sure.

[MemphisRacer]

I'm not promising any gains in horsepower, but I am promising that your car will sound like one mean cruiser for a fraction of the price of most any other axle-back!! For the quality and value, you couldn't find another axle-back system that will make your car sound this good. (hear ya) (thumb)

[Dr.Sound]

cant wait till mine gets here !!!

Giddy Up!!! I think you will really like it! (thumb)

[Turbo Matty P]

Yeah, I did have a bad day. I wasn't trying to take it out on anyone here. I was just laughing at what someone said about it allowing the turbo to spool faster by reducing backpressure! That is total horsecrap, just wanted to point it out. I'm sure it weighs less and sounds great, just wanted all the NOOB's who read this to know this is not a performance piece....unless of course you think the neon washer nozzles allow higher turbo boost levels!!.

(lol)


of course not.....just better aerodynamics (hand) (ricer)

:D

[Turbo Matty P]

dude, that smilie with the spoiler and red R is so cool!! I've got to get that! I know if we could see the front of it, there would be an "H" somewhere on it!

(rofl)(lol)(rofl)(lol)


edit: I just shat myself :rolleyes:

[Turbo Matty P]

try not to "shat" yourself! Then you'd look like the honda guys that try to race me down here! I had a guy with a new civic Si staring under my hood for 20 mintues before he realized how I smoked him. "Hey, whats that noise your car makes when it shifts?? Is that backfire?" I swear I had to explain the details of a pressure bypass valve on a turbo car. he then realized it was turbo. Shortly after this....he shit himself.

[Dr.Sound]

you mean shat himself

[JDM Sam]

ok you gonna call removing the muffler section making a BOLT ON PIPE WITH A TIP an axle back exhaust? and charge $100 ? You can go to the local muffler shop and have em make you one for half the cost. better yet if you really want weight reduction just unbolt the muffler tie the mid section up with string and have the same thing! how ridiculous. all youre doing is extending the mid section to exit the rear bumper with a tip! i wouldnt even call that an exhaust cuz its just a pipe and tip! if u want sound unbolt ur muffler and see how different it sounds with that pipe on.

[Dexter]

lol

[Dr.Sound]

dude, c'mon
dont like it - dont buy it
i'd pay someone 100 bux for a perfect fit that has been tested.
Plus it's so simple.
your local mufler shop will charge you $100 just for parts.

[Dr.Sound]

i mean labor, not parts

[JDM Sam]

100 for labor for a pipe? they charge 40 to install a universal muffler made into a custom bolted on with flange and gasket here. oh well thats my opinion. if you really like to waste a $100 go for it.

You are correct!!! Hell, you could even ductape the midsection and save on parts :p If you have an exhaust shop in your area that will work that cheap than by all means, do it!! I know that around here you'll pay more for the tip, hardware, and labor than the HSM Axle-back System costs including the shipping charges. I know that you'll be hard-pressed to find a better bang for your buck than our axle-back. It is so light, looks so good, and above all, is so EASY to install! I welcome your comments as well as anybody elses. I'll take it as "constructive" critisizm (thumb)

[AGR]

Hopefully, our Sound Vids will represent the product well. Tomorrow is the day!

[njaremka]

Any word on this thing fitting my ES?

[ping]

See my review elsewhere in this forum.

Don't know about "spooling" (sounds like a quilting term) but the car definitely did feel a little more "alive" with the HSM axle-back. Not earth-shattering, but noticable. MAY have been the additional sound (which sounds good, BTW), but I'd like to think my 41-year-old calibrated butt-ometer (over a million driven miles on the vertical smile) served me well once again.

Hey - for $100 it fit great, sounds racier (deeper, louder, not raspy, not too resonant except on decel) and was fun - well worth $100 even if just to not have to wait 1-2 hours for a decent appointment and put up with the local muffler shops around here.... It's not Supersprint, but it's not an Al's Muffler Shop Special either.

(thumb) it will fit the ES!! Only thing about puting this on an ES is that we have not installed this exhaust on one yet and we don't yet know if it will sound good or not......

I wouldn't feel comfortable selling you one of our exhaust systems if theres a chance it would make your car sound like poop!! I am searching for one in the area to test the sound on. If I still have no luck, maybee since Greg's wife took him back(rofl) she'll let us bolt it up to her car for a testing(bowdown).......:D

[njaremka]

for a deep discount, I'll let you send me one for testing... :D

[MemphisRacer]

[MazdaspeedZOOM]

So when are you gusy coming up with a package deal for both the hsm-axle back and your guy's intake. Let me know cause I'm interested.
