Hi Guys, Couple months ago I got my Exhaust system completed on my 1.6 mx5. And i thought ill share it with you

Exhaust system:
Genie 4-2-1 headers (mild steel)
200 Cell Magnaflow Cat (stainless)
Custom Cat-Back (stainless)
2.25 piping

Was Filmed on Hero 4 Gopro. Let me know what you guys think.

Sound is in the ear of the listener,if you like it that is all that matters.I think the stainless has given it a more raspy sound ,whereas I like a slightly deeper sound that comes with mild steel.
However certainly not umpleasant,how have you found the performance?

Just enjoy,and thanks for sharing.

Thanks peter. I definitely love it. I think the raspyness is there with all mx5s, unless it has a cannon or straight pipe

Performance wise i think that it hasnt done much but did free up some restrictions in the exhaust, where driving it is much more pleasant under throttle.

Im going turbo soon so performance will be taken care of for my mx5 eventually.

If going turbo soon why did you go for a 2.25 inch exhaust?
2.5 would have been better ;)
NA6 turbo - 140kw atw - not the most powerful but so much fun :D
