CX-5 Turbo muffler development @ Racing Beat
Hey guys,
Just wanted to share some info from my recent trip to Racing Beat (no affiliation), note the lack of turbo muffler here: http://www.racingbeat.com/CX5/Cat-Back-Exhausts.html
I brought my 2019 CX-5 Signature in to have the existing RB (non-turbo) muffler test fitted.
What we found was:
The OEM turbo muffler is about the same weight and size as the RB (non-turbo) muffler. - (both are about 10 lbs lighter and smaller than the OEM non-turbo muffler)
A test with a decibel meter showed no audible difference between the existing RB muffler and OEM turbo muffler. (the turbo quiets down the exhaust significantly)
and the tips stick out a little too far.
Racing Beat is developing a new turbo muffler version based on testing done that day and will contact me when the new one is ready for testing.
I plan on dynoing before and after (with no tuning at this time).
