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.
n/m, just saw this:
mine is on the left cuz i got a corksport kind of didnt have a choice i prefer right but im not complaining.

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

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

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.
