I hated my Bosal with a passion when I first got it. I wanted to rip the ****** off and thorw it in the dumpster because it was so goddamn loud. But ever since I got the silencer for it, its been good to me. As for HP, ahhh who gives a ****? I could blindfold you, slap some ear plugs on you, and put you in 10 different Protegay's all with different exhausts and you wouldn't notice a difference in power one bit cause our cars are simply waaayyy too slow.

i would recommend greddy evo. if they make one for the pro5.

racing beat is also not too loud. im using the mazdaspeed axle back and it drones at around 3500rpm ...annoying when going over 70mph. otherwise its a lower freq. tone so not ricy.

Whatever is stock on my car, I think it's Racing Beat, sounds good. When starting from a stop, it has a nice low sound to it, similar to a BMW I would say, and not ricey at all. At cruising speed you can't even hear it, just like most OEM systems. Sometimes I think that maybe my exhaust is a little too quiet...

I have the Mazda Speed exhaust on a 2002 protege lx and it sounds great. It has a nice low rumble, and is suttle when you want, but can also be obnoxious when you want.

I had custom 2.5" mandrel-bent piping from the cat to the muffler (no resonator) and a Pro1 muffler (2.5" in, 3" chamber, 4" out). It produced the sweetest exhaust note I have ever heard on a street legal 4banger. It was not too loud, but loud enough to get noticed, and it had a VERY nice, warm, deep, fuzzy exhaust note.

Best thing is I spent only $235 on the whole shabang, less than half of some of the pre-made cat-back systems out there.

it may help if you actually specify which HKS exhaust you have.......
