What kind of exhaust are you guys running?

[MsShifted]

My exhaust pipes is rusted to hell and has sooooo many holes in it, so I am looking to replace it ASAP.

So I was wondering, what are you guys running?
I was looking around for something that had a deep tone, and wasn't TOO loud (and definitely not raspy).. but there really isn't much options as compared to the NA.

I was looking at the Greddy Ti-C, but thats very expensive just for the muffler. I was also looking at the roadstersport 3...
I wish fujitsubo made exhaust for the NB :cry2: I loved the RM-01a on my '92.

[Muzdaman]

I have an RM01A on my NA, Im sure an exhaust shop could make it work on an NB.

[morr]

I'm running the RacingBeat catless midpipe and the Enthuza XR lightweight muffler and it gives a deep tone, with no rasp even at higher RPM.

I have a roadstersport 3. I can get pics later tomorrow...er today. Can't do video though sorry. It sounds great when warm though. Promise.

[Thumper13]

Riceland Header,RB catless resonated mid pipe and Enthuza XR cat back. I'm guessing Morrs car sounds like that because his exhaust is almost outside and the mic is capturing too much engine noise. My setup, like his( except for header ) is all about exhaust. When we did parade laps @ speeds higher than 65 ( Thanks Jon ) around Sebring, a car two places in front of me was able to capture my exhaust sound around the track. If Derek was here I could get him to post up the video.

[VdizzleMyNizzle]

Roadster Sport Mid Pipe and Exhaust on my Supercharge miata. It's nice and deep, no rasp at all, plus theres a baffale you can use or remove.

In the second clip you can hear it better. Granted, I was just cruising by not flooring it. I definitely love the tone though. My setup was pretty loud when I had a fully stripped interior... I can't imagine it with a header on there! Post the video clips if you can find em.

[psulja]

I have a RacingBeat muffler, IMO it's too quiet. Will try to find a video of it.

[MsShifted]

wow thanks for all the replies guys! probably gonna get roadstersport 3 or maybe enthuza..wish they had a bigger tip though.

But I just realized my exhaust manifold downpipe thingy (sorry I'm not too savvy with exhaust parts) had most of the holes and rust, so I looked at Riceland headers, but they only make them for the 99-00 :cry2:

is my next option only RB headers with a $300+ increase in price? I just wanted something to replace the rustiness!

Just replace it with a turbo :8):

But after looking around really quickly, unfortunately most headers are over $350, unless you can find a used one that is in better condition? Just a thought. Could hold you over until you're ready to spend more money or a used one pops up.

Jason at Enthuzacar will put any size tip you want on any of his systems. He does great work,just give him a call

I believe the second video of your car is the one that may be decide to go to the XR. I will try and get some video/audio of my car tomorrow

Thanks I'm flattered! I bought the muffler first and was afraid the RB midpipe might make it super loud and raspy, so I'm definitely happy with the end result.

[f86sabjf]

heres the link Thumper 's referring to my car is just in front with a roadstersport 3 with the plug out . The rest of the car is stock. You can hear his in the background

Greddy Ti-C: very good exhaust, but without the silencer it's very loud. My brother and gf say its like riding in an airplane lol. Joe from RSpeed heard it and thought I had engine work done to it lol.

Like others have said, Enthuza is good. I have an old exhaust of his and it has held up well. He estimated that it was built in late 06, early 07 based on the hangers used. It was way too loud but he welded in a resonator for me and its much better now. Go with a resonated system for sure when ordering from him. I also like the roadstersport 3 that good-win offers. Some guy had one at the last trackday I was at and it sounded great.

My exhaust setup is:
-Home made short intake
-Racing Beat 4/1 header
-Flyin' Miata resonated midpipe and catalytic converter
-Racing Beat Power pulse muffler

Here is a video I have made :

[concealer404]

I run a full FM kit turbo back.

Sounds incredible, but i'm really thinking about hacking a resonator out or something. It's very quiet outside of the car. (Drones like crazy inside the car, though.)

Car is all bite no bark. (Unless you count the obnoxious yapping of the BOV)

Nice! That sounds better than I expected with a header... and another part added to my list of WTB's :lol:

[f86sabjf]

this is one of my favorite videos probably the best made exhaust sample out there. I almost bought this set up but at the time my budget wouldnt allow it.

Thank You.............Riceland has a really good product for the price. Just the danged EGR gets to be a pain in the ass, then again you're already catless so block it off.

[f86sabjf]

well you have no hearing anyways and your trying to deafen me with your exhaust since you cant do anymore damage to yourself. Honestly the one day i rode with you i had a headache by the time i got out and it was only maybe 45min total.

[ChrisJuliano]

I go the TopSpeed Pro-1, and absolutely love it! Here is the video with catless test pipe and without.

Oh and the "launch" was at 2.5k because I didnt want to hit my camcorder with rocks, and the 1.6l N/A has no power, so it was kinda embarassing haha!

That first acceleration was WOT haha.

Here is my setup on my Mazdaspeed. I have a FM downpipe, Enthuza 2.5 mid (res-delete), and a Enthuza XR muffler. The car also has fm full intake.. This vid was done with my phone so crap sound. It sounds amazing and I have gotten lots of compliments!!

ok guys so I have a (noob) question. Where exactly does this piece go? The roadstersport 3 midpipe
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v16/banana/Miata_GR-002_Midpipe.jpg

goes towards the muffler end?

That piece you circled goes on the back of the larger section

[snake520]

^yup, you slide it onto the larger part and clamp it on. I'm pretty sure I have urban's old RS3 midpipe and that part is basically stuck on. Doesn't really matter though, still fits decently

[Thumper13]

That first acceleration was WOT haha.

:teehee: no seriously,do one at wide open throttle :mrgreen:

[Thumper13]

Sounds sweet

[MarcoSTEEZ]

Planning on making a v band center exit Shotgun setup. Single cat in the midpipe and one slim inline muffler for each of the "barrels" or exits. It shall be very dope. Now, my question to you guys is, would it be smarter to put a catalytic converter or a resonator in the middle section of the exhaust? I'm not exactly sure of the benefits of one vs. the other. Is one quieter?

[richterat83]

Flyin Miata Turbo II setup, stock cat, Flyin Miata 2.5 turbo back exhaust

http://youtu.be/J47Ujmfdv1I

i've since replaced the cat with a test pipe though, which gives the exhaust a PERFECT note, the stock cat was FAR too quiet for my liking, i'll have to get a new video now with the new test pipe

[Das Miata]

I have the roadstersport exhaust, came with the car. Pleasant sounding def not loud but has pretty good tone and doesn't turn heads. Iy gives enough feedback to feel like you're driving a racecar if you're getting into it at least compared to my stock GTI exhaust

i assumed it was going to be bumpy so i set my car to 12"f/r... im running 11.25"f and 11.5"r for laguna seca

Rsr and love it so much. I had a hks hipower exhaust on my other Mazda so i can't personally compare other then the two i have had. But its amazing throughout the entire power band. Here is a clip that sucks compared to standing right next to it.

[justinstrife]

Racing beat

Thank you good sir. Looks like I know what my NB will be getting. :)

[psulja]

Just a heads up, the racingbeat is very quiet. i have it on my NB and always wish it was a bit louder. Phrenetik said the same thing about his. Although the tone is pretty awesome.

My NB will see a lot of driving to Lake Havasu, Arizona(300 miles each way) in the future, so that's not necessarily a bad thing for me. Mainly doing it for looks. Considering Miata parts are 1/4 the price of Corvette parts, I can afford to dress her up a bit. :)

FM DP, Enthuza Mid with XR lightweight muffler, excellent combo for my MSM!

[Ciotti]

I've had a bunch of different combos lately that I've been taking sound bytes of with a decent quality audio recorder (Zoom H2) from the back bumper and inside the car that I'm going to compile into a video for head to head comparisons.

So far...


Racing Beat header - stock midpipe - Borla exhaust
Racing Beat header - stock midpipe - Racing Beat exhaust
Racing Beat header - stock midpipe - no exhaust
Racing Beat header - FM midpipe - Borla exhaust
Racing Beat header - FM midpipe - Racing Beat exhaust

Soon...

Racing Beat header - FM midpipe - no exhaust

Mine is pretty loud, with the same combo but I have the res-delete. I'm used to it but everyone who rides in my car thinks its crazy loud. Everyone can hear me from a mile away. I need to get a driving video for it...
