go with the true dual exhaust from mazdatrix. i looks mean and i bet it sounds awesome. actually, the have a sound clip on the web site for what it sound like.



they also claim a 28% power increase, which is pretty big.

$700 sounds pretty steep unless its in damn good shape. Why the T2 trans and rear? Unless you plan on doing a full T2 swap later on (engine and everything), you could save money and get a NA trans with driveshaft and LSD rear (from a GXL if you have an S4). I'd check with Banzaitoyota and search around.



Open headers will have you wanting ear plugs in no time BTW.

That would be the GTUs LSD unit.



EXHAUST is my vote. I have the TRUE DUALS. Meammn- VERY Sound-GREAT and not like a chainsaw Price-WORTH EVERY PENNY.





You can make your own for a bit less if you have acces to a mandrel bender. Just make sure you use RB mufflers or it won't sound that good.

Oh yeah and you dont NEED the TII tranny unless you plan to do a turbo swap, go with some heavy mods, or buy that s/c kit from atkins.
