So I got the MS Sport Muffler for X-mas ...YEAH!!, My 1st MOD and there are a couple things I like and don't like about it......... I like the way it sounds & I like the way it looks......but I don't like the way it hangs down so low, there is almost a 1.5 inch gap between the bottom of my bumper and the top of the muffler tip...anyone else have a gap like that?? And also I thought it was just my imagination, but my friend noticed too that it seems like I have lost power ...doesn;t seem as fast off the line as it used to be, my 0-60 time is 11 sec.....I dunno how that compares w/ other peoples times but seems pretty slow to me, but anyway, I guess i'll leave it on for now, sure does look a lot better then that stock piece of metal.....I guess I'm done for now

but that could have to do with your shifting speeds 'n whatnot
Do you have a pic of the exhaust?

Skirt? WTF guys? That's the stock P5 rear bumper. I put the Wings West Kit on, but it's not shown in that picture.

In addition, the muffler for the sedan is completely different. Might explain it here.'03 Sunlight Silver Metallic ES

The sedan muffler is slightly longer, and the reason it hangs down lower is just like you said, the skirt is 'built in' on the Pro5.
A MP3 rear skirt would definitely help.Clint/1999 "Sport20"

Are you sure you got the ms exhaust and not the ms racing beat exhaust? There are 2 different exhausts for the sedan. The racing beat exhaust should have more of an oval tip and would hang somewhat low due to the fact it is made for the ms protege which has the lower valance on the rear. I work for a mazda dealer and we have installed a couple of the round tipped ms mufflers on protege sedans and they fit nice and tight to the bumper.
