I Built The PERFECT TURBO MIATA Exhaust (Sounds Insane...)

In this video we fabricate a FULL, CUSTOM Exhaust for my 400HP Turbo Miata. The exhaust is constructed of 3" stainless steel tubing, a vibrant performance resonator, dynomax muffler, mishimoto vband clamps, and a badlandz electric cutout.

It's insane to think that this is the same car you started building back when you still made forza videos, coolest miata on the site

[@craigpearson9063]

I dunno have a look at Jimmy broadens time attack miata that's a beast

[@typedrew]

On a valved setup the ‘high flow loud’ side should take airflow priority and the ‘quiet’ side should take a 90 degree angle out of that pipe with a smaller piping diameter. It’ll greatly improve drone characteristics and it’ll make it much quieter without having to use even more additional mufflers. And if you place the valve closer to the tip of the high flow side, it’ll also act as a Helmholtz resonator when shut. Love the content just hope this may help if you ever want to improve the db difference between modes.

[@TheRogueBro]

Ya, i was honestly surprised he didn't (at the very least) get a Y-pipe for the back.

[@yuGtahT]

The fact that the Eclipse scars are still just sitting there in that intersection is _wiiild..._ I wonder how long it'll take for those to disappear, or if they'll just need to repave the road.

[@Avetho]

Its like a morbid reminder to double, triple nay, _centuple_ check literally everything if you're not entirely certain that everything is working as it should with like a double margin for error, changing conditions and faulty components. It was going to be a super cool project but bad luck, unfortunate part placement and the curse that seemed to be saturating the vehicle killing engine after engine all conspired to ruin the day. The only good thing that Eclipse seems to have done for Caleb is taking away basically all his mechanical misfortune for at least the next decade. But yeah, heck, seeing the burn scarred asphalt is still visible is definitely wild as all get-out.

[@puskunk]

It's Georgia. It will be there for the next twenty years until GDOT repaves it.

[@HondAcura111]

Near Ottawa Ontario on a back country road someone hit a deer I'm guessing and there was a giant patch of red like 30 square feet stained into the already faded grey pavement. It was there for atleast 4-5 years before the road was paved lol

[@sjorsangevare]

Oh it'll be there until it gets repaved. My parent's van burned down right in front of our house in 2010 and the scars are still there. Quite faded, but definitely still there.

[@Vasquezz28]

Totaled a car when I was in high school and the marks the rims left on the pavement are still there after 10 years 😁🤙🏼

[@318isGood]

My guy you went off with the edit; the musicality and flow is great. Keep up the awesome work.

[@318isGood]

**Are great. Everything IS great lol

[@Blurgamer17]

​@drew9804 my mind autocorrected "musicality" to "masculinity." Lmao.

[@Deceiver935]

I felt the same way!

[@willwastaken]

If you want to reduce drone, I highly recommend swapping out the bottle resonator for a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator. They reduce drone so much it's insane, but they don't decrease volume too drastically. Also, what a fantastic video this was. This has to be the best production quality yet!

[@jakehiggins5118]

I can confirm, when I had a mazda 3 with a loud exhaust I installed the vibrant resonator and it almost eliminated the drone and didn't change the exhaust tone too much

[@danyfry39946]

@@jakehiggins5118did it help with any rasp?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I miss my cutout system so much 😭 such a rad setup for the street

[@_Gingium_]

My cutout already broke 😭 what happened to yours?

[@scotthartwig7190]

Here's my only suggest for welding stainless, be sure to back purge the piping to prevent "sugaring". It can cause the backside of the weld to be full of impurities and can increase the chance of weld failure, especially on an exhaust where it's getting a TON of vibrations.

[@killainmaccallan4700]

yep that was going to be my 2 cents as well, I used to love TIG welding stainless steel, I hated Cunifer the most and aluminium

[@jv6miata]

Gingium, TheCarPassionChannel, AND ChrisFix all in one day? This really is Christmas in early August

[@Avetho]

If you want to make the quiet mode really quiet so the loud mode is full power, using a triple chambered reactive muffler from MagnaFlow might be an idea, and size it to like a half inch smaller diameter than the exhaust, so 2.5 inches (the XL 3 Chamber is like 130 bucks so I don't know if that's cheap or not), that should make Molly real silent with the valve closed, and if you could set that valve to also open when boost pressure gets high enough then you could let Molly breathe if you hit the gas, and still have the manual open as an override so it just stays open regardless of the boost pressure. Molly though, she's sounding _hella fine_ now I also just learned now about diffuser disc mufflers, you add discs to the stack to let air pass more freely and more loudly. They're those strange exhausts where the gas comes out the circular outside instead of straight on, some generators or other small engines have them if they don't just use one of those boxes plonked on the side, I saw a guy put a 4 inch one on his straight-pipe Jeep and with 12 discs it was 9db quieter at idle, and 24 discs was only 5db quieter. Mufflers are fascinating things, there's like over a dozen different designs, but the chambered muffler aka the reactive muffler seems to be the best at being quiet, more chambers more quiet.

[@spaight711]

Once you get that rhythm going with the tig pulse and your setting dialed in, it all just comes together.

[@jv6miata]

3:21 The 7th gen accord coupes NEED more attention from Gingium plz

[@thatkidwyatt8270]

That would be cool to see, but i think the Fit is taking the cake for Caleb. All that power and fwd isn’t great sometimes, especially on a track

[@cinocv]

the welding editing was ON POINT. great video

[@coreyjohnson993]

Always love the videos, but the editing on this one was especially entertaining. Also, would love a spotify of the background music.

[@TerranRedsky]

It sounds awesome and it looks great, not to mention it looks super sturdy. Could always apply some heat to the exhaust tips to give them the blue heat colouration, would match with the paint :D

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Rip Eclipse. Also, if you want a positively stealth mode muffler for the quiet side, I'd suggest a Dynomax P/N 17676. It's only 2.5" but it'll tuck into and fill all the space where the one tip is, and then you could run a setup that kinda looks like a sideways pi symbol, with the end splitting off into a dual "center" exit tip that snakes around your jack point. Or a double blast pipe out one side, or just back into a single exit. If not, and you wanna keep it 3-inch, look into a 17743(smaller body) or 17792(larger body). ALL of these are turbo-style (looping pathway) mufflers, witth the first being 1 loop (inlet and exit on the same side) and the latter two being two loops with an offset/offset design on opposite sides.

[@hijodelodi9489]

OH MAN I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!!

[@JamieBainbridge]

Some great arc shots in this 👌

[@Powersproductions130]

OMG Gingium, the editing on this one is incredible. That tossing the pipe and it seamlessly went from 1-2 then to 3 pieces was super cool and impressive. 👌🏻

Have you ever considered getting a Fastback hardtop? I’ve always thought that they look amazing on NA Miatas and It would fit the more sporty/track esthetic.

[@PNWSV]

These engines are awesome... what a treat

[@coalblack]

Bro exhaust looked great!! You can get some stainless wire for your mig welder. Some machines want to to change polarity. For tacking pieces in in position it's a lot easier. Then drop it purge and Tig. .love all your vids brother, can't wait to run into at an event someday. Keep it coming!!

[@BigIsleJ]

I enjoyed your effects in this one :)

[@NXT_LVL]

19:15 The way you had it is the best way, having a straight shot to the valve when open. I've seen some that actually have two valves, so it seals the one off so you don't get any "leakage" It would be way more noticeable if it was up front rather than out back. But its a cool way to have a dual-purpose exhaust...

[@Jarok3]

dude is using a milwaukee marker, this is a man of culture and knowledge. you got my respect :p

[@XZhim]

I enjoyed this. And them welds we’re clean

[@smidydevil]

Nice work there dude. 2 little tips.whilst building the exhausts. Instead of welding the hangers straight to the pipe, cut a little square out of an offcut of pipe and weld this on first to act as a spreader plate. If the exhaust gets a bad knock or a lot of vibrations the small weld holding the hanger on can just tear the exhaust at the weld. 2nd tip try not pulling your filler rod out of the shielding gas before your post flow is finished . Really loving the transformation of this car and showing your progression in skills 👍

[@kylebobbe4446]

hey man! long time fan of the channel and i love watching the content and watch u grow as a fabricator! just wanted to say that ive been having a hard time getting invested into your builds recently. i understand that things arent always in your control but when u switch between cars every video and dont finish builds it’s hard for me to get heavily invested like i used to be for the rallymiata or like og drift truck build. regardless i will continue to watch and support ur videos 👍🏻

[@alans585]

Your tig welds are looking awesome! One little tip- keep the filler rod in the post gas with the weld bead. If the filler oxidizes, you have to snip it clean or you contaminate the weld. It’s good practice for all steels but really important for stainless.

[@jamiefarrell8371]

Man, I hope Gingium keeps that 240. That there’s some potential for a neat project in the future.

[@UncleSpool]

It makes me so happy to see you took my advice of using metric to heart. I have one more piece of advice I can guarantee you will love, get a 5" horizontal bandsaw from Wen. You'll literally save hours of your life on cleaning up exhaust pipes.

You try ptfe tape instead of blue painter tape cause you can weld over it and it doesn't leave glue behindc
