Thumbs up Racing Beat Exhaust on a 2.0 hatch (single exit)



Thought i would share this oddity; 2.0 MZR hatch (aka Sport GX) is only available in Canada (also as far as i know, i'm the only one with a Racing Beat 2.0 exhaust as well). Might be an alternative for Skyactiv owners (who also have a single exit exhaust) - assuming exhaust hangers and rear bumper length are the same for 2010-2012+, which is likely to be the case.

Wanted to thank Mike Liao and Jim from Racing Beat as well as Peter from NextMod, for coordinating the custom modifications to make it fit (was expensive, but well worth it). The exit piping from the muffler is the same length as the 2.5 hatch (done at the factory). Otherwise it should be the same as the Racing Beat 2.0 sedan exhaust.


Here are some clips (crappy point & shoot camera) from last summer when i got it. It is paired with an Injen cold air intake:

Some more recent clips from last fall/winter (iPhone - make sure to switch to 1080p from 480p!):

Wide open throttle and cruising (buzzing is from iPhone being sandwiched in the headrest)

And at the track, it magically sounds like a 13B LOL
