Factory Performance Exhaust?

[need4swede]

Hi folks,

Anyone heard of a factory performance exhaust option for Gen 1's?

The only part number I got is: SU-S8ML26

I came across an ad of someone selling a used one, and here I am wondering what on earth it is.
Does anyone know more about it?

Thanks!

Back when Mazda still had the MAZDASPEED brand in existence, they made a host of factory performance parts under the MAZDASPEED brand. StreetUnit and SURE Motorsports are both garbage companies now, but it looks like you may have a genuine relic from the past there.

It was a dealer add on for the gen 1.

I had one. It sounded great

Wow, that is interesting. Didn't know about this.

Here's the photos I got from the guy selling one:

He's asking $500 for it. It's nice to own a little bit of history, but I wasn't sure how it would compare next to offerings from aftermarket makers of today. Thank you for teaching me about this gem!

That's awesome, thank you for sharing! Did you end up selling it? What made you get something else?

$500 seems steep for that condition

Wasn't there also an issue with these that there was a weird smaller flange right where it bolts to the second cat that everyone had to get cut out and replaced?
