Mazda 626 2.0L Magnaflow exhaust with resonator

The title pretty much says it all.
I've had the exhaust for three months, so it should be broken in.
The old camera clip is to compare sound quality to the clip of the exhaust without the resonator.

Ebay CAI (works great, thank you)
Top Speed Pro 1 header (supposedly, got it off ebay, so I'm not sure)
Stock Cat
Resonator
2.25" piping from cat to Magnaflow muffler #12225
NGK plugs, wires
Tokico Illumina Struts
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering springs

Enjoy

what kind of magnaflow?

[PrinceValorum]

@codyfennern Iirc it was part number 12225, nothing fancy, just a stainless universal oval, 5x7", 2.25" in and out, center pipe on one side, offset on the other (although the shop installed it backwards.. boneheads). I think it was around 80$ from Summit.

That's with the resonator? Pretty loud for a muffler + resonator.

[PrinceValorum]

The resonator doesn't do much to quiet it, it eliminates the nasty rasp. At idle you can barely tell it's running, it's super quiet. At normal driving, I wouldn't say it's much louder than stock. At closer to wide open throttle it does get louder, but not annoyingly so.

@andrenegwer Not on the 4 cylinder which is what PrinceValorum has. Yes, that ladies and gentlemen this is a 4 cylinder. Best sounding I4 626 I've ever heard in my life. I often visit his videos just to listen to it because it's the sound of a beautifully healthy 626 engine. It calms me.

Damn dude you building a rocket car outta that 626!! Whats the point of putting mods on a slow FWD car!?

[andrenegwer]

Our cars have something like vtec and vvti that its engaged after 4k rpm
