I'm eventually going to single exhaust, for the lower cost, and I guess the bonus of saving weight. But I've seen pics of it on either side of the car.



Please list the reason for your decision. Thanks!

right hand side.... just like the fd



so when you shoot flames it wont block your view

Right -

That way all the gases wont be blasting in someone elses face (plus if you get pulled over it wont be blasting right infront of the cop).

Plus when your backing up that **** stinks.

And all of your exhaust will be on one side. not crossing over to the other...

what do you mean?

It'll all be on the right side, ie: you wont have to jack it up on one side, then on the other to do and repairs (if you had to). You could just jack up the passengerside one time and be done with it. I'm just thinking in case something happens and you need to do somthing w/ the exhaust.





Actually, I have no idea what I was thinking. I'm just lazy and wouldn't wanna have to jack up twice on each side.

that makes sense, I was thinking along the lines of the exhaust gases, not the actual tubes...much clearer now

In this case, right is right and left is wrong. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i liked mine on the left. just be different. plus its JDM!!!

yah thats my reasoning too

Put it on the right side it balances out the weight of the driver ( a little bit)

right side, shorter pipes == lighter.

thanks for all the input.



I'm a pragmatic guy. No offense, but if I was going to do something to be different, I would paint the car neon rainbow-colored.

Helloooooooo Frissssssssscooooooo

Looks like right side it is!

the corksport cat back feeds out the drivers side, and is a straight pipe with a couple wiggles. Doesn't get much straighter than that.

unless you have a heavy chamber muffler it won't change the weight distrobution much



so it really comes down to what your preference is im using the corksport, just because it fell into my lap. I like the passenger side feed a little better.....fuk i don't kno

alright, if you clicked "other," please explain

im kinda thinkin drivers side tho because you can watch yourself shoot flames https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

SIDE EXHAUST is mad tight yo! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Whatever side you like it on. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png I personally like the right side.

Personally I like it on the real side. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png



Baldy - I voted left - Just my personal Preference.

Always loved the right side single.......mmm...



For FD and FC it looks bad ass..

right side is best side no matter if jdm or not, **** the best way to go is custom with a lil dyno work to find what works the best not if its jdm. ppls please just cause it says jdm on it it dont mean ****! by goin on the left side u heat up fuel lines that are on that side not to mention if ya want to go fuel cell the left side is the better side for exurnal pump and catch can . remember colder fuel = better fuel

I clicked "other" because I have duals. I've always liked them, and since just about everything else *power steering, AC, stock fan shroud, as well as a ton of interior and exterior weight mods* are taken off, it doesn't hurt my weight. But then again, it's a stock FI car, though it IS ported, I'd like to run a bridge ported naturally aspirated carb engine. Don't have enough MOO-LAH to finance it tho. Right now I only run high 13's <sigh>

mine is on the left cuz i got a corksport kind of didnt have a choice i prefer right but im not complaining. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Gass filler door is on the left, so exhaust should exit on the right (just my 2.6 cents!)

my gas filler door is on the right https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

I'm going with right side, it looks better imo. Wg outlet will be coming out behind passenger tire https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Talkin' FC here...

cool pic, this is the corksport with a racing beat header, as you can tell the corksport is just about a straight out. that's why my car WAS so ungodly loud, i now have some more restrictive duals on it.

and that exits the left side?



n/m, just saw this:

the way that the cat is positioned it is actually pointed towards the driverside rear of the car, the corksport just continous that direction, that's why it looks so straight because the cat is crooked in relationship to the car

hehe there is my exhaust https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif i miss my car

you gotta be ****** kidding me.





I'm gonna say the right side will provide better "upstairs" power, and the left side will give you better low end response. Longer pulses = teh torque and better sound IMO. Just from my experience go for the right side







this post make no snese

**** looks, passenger side is best.

1-weight distribution

2-you will smell less of the stink if you have your window down.

left side.. cause.. that's the side my gt spec exhales.





does it really matter? either way unless you have duals you have an open slot in your rear bumper where a muffler is suppose to be ...

right side , yall know just how loud a rotary is put 2 extra minor bends in the pipes it helps wit the noise , besides if it isnt quieter ya got a better chance of pissin off the local pig on the side of the road ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, shoot flames at the cop ( make some bacon ) while shiftin past them hahahahahaha

What ever is the shorter side out.

Wow all the guys in the states seem to differ from me when it comes to mufflers. Once on a poll similar to this everyone voted for Dual....LOL Dual is gross in my opinion.......dunno why Mazda made it like that. I have had every kind of muffler in the world on my car at one time or another and from my experience exiting on the left side or drivers side in the USA is best for a FC. To have an exhaust come straight out the turbine downt the right side of the car seems like a good idea( I am talking Turbo cars) but the way the bod is made limits Front pipe design and causes the muffler to hang lower when exiting the right side it also cause minor bends to match up the hangers. If it comes out the left you can hove 2 small bends and it will go right to the hangers.



This is just my experiences with different mufflers. All the ones that came out the right side ended up getting destroyed because the get caught on cat eye street markers and stuff.........Then again maybe my car is just too low hahaa



It really don't make that much of a difference which side, its all personal preference. I like the left side. somebody else likes right and some like both.

High 13s in a GXL non turbo.
