    I have a racing beat. I bought it lightly used. My only problem was during install I had trouble getting it past the steering rod.

    For some reason tapatalk is telling me it is an invalid image file.

    I got a factory one, but I had an OBX on my previous Miata. Phatmeister has pics of it, I think. I liked it, but paired with the Enthuza exhaust, it was LOUD!

    I've got a Racing-Beat on my 99. I'm not sure I would go with anything else, unless I found a Maximworks for really cheap. Not sure on the power gains with this header, but I do know it's easy to install vs some of the OBX headers I've worked with.

    I have a Maxim header.

    Currently on the hunt to find a shop that will have it Ceramic coated by the time I arrive in SoCal so I can throw it on my car and be able to drive to VA in peace.

    I had a RB 4-1 on my first Miata and the thing was fantastic. Hoping the Riceland I've got waiting to go on now doesn't disappoint too much. By the time it falls apart I should have budget for another RB.

    Rusted out Fujitsubo 4-2-1 Header. Gave my car such a bassy boom down low, torque went up a bit too. But that may just be my butt dyno. Installation was fairly simple, as it was already modded for a US car. Even came with the EGR block off plate.

    To avoid having fingerprints, etc. burn into the manifold, you rub it down with alcohol so it is perfectly clean. Just before you fire it up for the first time you rub vodka all over the manifold. As it burns off it'll turn the manifold into a pretty colour i.e. the nice gold colour mine came out in. Should probably point out that this will only work on a new manifold and you only get one shot at it (no pun intended).
