    Buddy Club Spec II (NA Miata) - It's Coming Back!

    Hi guyysss,

    Two weeks ago, I was informed by my co-worker that Buddy Club is bringing their Spec II exhaust back for NA Miata's. They asked if I wanted to let them use my car for a quick test fit; I gladly obliged. I've always been a fan of their Spec II exhausts back in my Honda days. So I was pretty excited when I heard the new news. The test fit was spot on and is easiest to install in one piece due to the slip joint design.

    "A racing spec muffler is a light weight and highly efficient muffler that is made to perform for circuit run. In its street version, to optimize torque in the low to mid speed range, it is equipped with an efficient middle silencer (resonator). Racing Spec Muffler were designed for high performance as well as meeting sound level standards. With its deep throaty tone, it echo's it racing linage.

    Spec II is a specially designed system for competition use only. Its simple straight thru design creates an increase of exhaust gas velocity in order to improve efficiency. The middle silencer (resonator) on the main pipe is designed to maintain torque in the low to mid speed range.
    "

    Outter: 60mm
    Inner: 57mm
    Tip: 75mm
    Weight: 13 lbs
    MSRP: $599
    Availability: 8-9 weeks

    Here is a quick sound clip of the exhaust on the day of the test fit. Please note that the test fit was done missing a gasket and slip joint springs. I now have the missing parts installed on the car (not in/during video). Also, don't worry about all the smoke. I have a pretty bad piston ring. Burning a lottt of oil. Nothing to do with the exhaust. Lol.



    And pictures. Because everybody loves pictures.























    Please contact Buddy Club if you're interested in the Spec II:

    Buddy Club Spec II (NA Miata) - It's Coming Back!

    Any idea on dB levels? Looks good, sounds good and it's light, but I need to be under 95 dB for my local autocrosses.

    Loud is OK. 95 dB is loud for sure. I'll have to see how this shakes out.

    WHY does all the good stuff have to be for the NA?

    This is great news! I've always loved Buddy Club, since I came from a Honda as well.
