I was just wondering if anyone has a team moon exhaust, and if they like it or not. I am in the market for exhaust and just haven't heard anything about TM. Any info or suggestions is appreciated

 

Who the hell is Team Moon?????

 

http://www.teammoonexhaust.com/

 

Never heard of them till now

 

hmm is that a US or canada site?? jsut because I would pay that.. if it was canadian, I am jsut wondering how mcuh shipping would be *cringe*

 

Phone number off web site is in/arounf Atlanta Georgia (770 area code).

 

Sort of shady dyno pull. I thought aftermarket exhaust would sacrifice a little low end power for more mid range and upper range power or something. I may be wrong though That one seems to give exactly 4hp or so the whole pull

 

In a recent issue of Sport Compact Car, they tested a bunch of exhaust systems for their Toyota project car, and they liked Team Moon's exhaust best.

This article doesn't seem to be on the Web site yet.

Both the Toyota and the Mazda exhaust systems are built around a Magnaflow muffler.

I am planning to order one soon.

 

LOOK....The graph starts at 4000 RPM

So we don't know what happens below 4000 ?

What is that dip at 4700 RPM.

 

dewey let me know how it is when or if you get one

Thanks

I just talked to Charlie yesterday and ordered my exhaust from Team Moon. He said that they need to "build the jig", which I take to mean setting up the mandrel machine to bend the pipes. The absence of a jig makes me wonder if maybe I'm the first P5 order he has had.

At any rate, Charlie was very friendly. He said the part will ship out next week (week of 7/29/02), and he doesn't charge until the parts ship.

I probably won't get a chance to install it until next Saturday (8/3/02), but I'll update this thread with more info as it becomes available.

 

If the sound that plays when you open the Protege5 page is the true sound of the exhuast, it sounds sweet. I might have to see about this one. When you get yours let us know all about it. Fit/Finish/Sound/etc. $330/plus shipping sounds like a good price for a true catback. And take some better pics of the exhaust before/during you install it please as the ones on the site are not that good.

 

i have the exhaust. i also live like 10 minutes from the shop so it kinda makes sense. i'm broke as a joke right now and can't give dyno numbers. their dyno sheet on the site is from an automatic i have a 5 speed and i need ot get the 50 bones to get my dyno pull in so charlie wont kill my ***. this exhaust is nice and low and sounds more like a supra than anything else. i have noticed a great deal in power increase through out the power band. its a full cat-back system and i would highley recommend getting this exhaust cause it basically out performs all the others. especially that bumble bee exhaust from mazda speed. charlie is a cool guy and very good to deal with and really knows his ****. i believe vince that works there is a member of this board but never really says anyhting

 

Lupus--Could you post some pics of your car with the exhaust on? The ones on the site are kinda weak. Thanks!

 

hehehe, that's the first time i heard someone describing the mazdaspeed muffler as buzzing bee. Must be all that infamous 70mph resonance got us an unhappy customer

but back on topic, the sound clip on the Protege5 page does sound like the 2.0L Protege engine, so I think it's legit. It's a very nice sound, probably no resonance either!

and a much nicer looking exhaust tip than the bosal!

for comparison sake, here's a clip of the MS muffler on my 2000 ES with the 1.8L engine:
