@Don’sReaperMotives ISR and Manzo are the deeper louder ones. sliiiight burble.

Do you have a rough estimate or measurement of decibels for the RB? Do you think it exceeds 96db?

[@enriquealvarez4702]

I got the yonaka with isr test pipe and raceland header on my 94 na8. Sounds amazing but once in a while it touches the heat shield for the muffler.

[@HazardGarage]

Sounds like a great balanced set up! Maybe a little convincing with a hammer on that heat shield is in order?

[@tripwire3992]

try stiffer hangers for the exhaust and then bend the heat shield in place a bit more so that it has more clearence

The Flyin' Miata setup sounds like the stock exhaust, but more. That's interesting.

[@richardzempel5794]

Back in the early 1970's, I was told by a racing mechanic that the best sounding and best performing exhaust for my college boy budget Jaguar sedan was cheap glasspack mufflers. It sounded amazing. I put cheap glasspacks on most of my fun cars ever since. 1957 Thunderbird, 1960 Buick LeSabre, 1966 Jaguar 4.2 XKE, 1970 Fiat 850 sedan, even a '67 Caddy convertible. My current 1991 Miata has a $45 Cherry Bomb muffler with 2 motorcycle baffles stuffed in the tailpipe to tune the sound down a bit. It sounds like a little race car and my wife doesn't complain about it. I always check the spark plugs after a few weeks after installing the exhaust, and they burn a nice chocolate powder tan. It's the sound that makes it cool, and the low price. I just couldn't see spending the big bucks on any exhaust system that doesn't sound any better than a cheap glasspack . I've always thought these expensive systems were a scam.

[@gage5977]

Your Miata probably sounds worse than a straight piped Miata

[@richardzempel5794]

@@gage5977 Read my description again. No, it sounds like an old British 4 cyl. sports car or Alfa Romeo with free-flow exhaust similar to Abarth and Stebro, and modern expensive exhaust systems from Borla, etc. It's actually quiet around city traffic areas and louder but tuned sounding out on the more open roads. sorry if this nullifies your arrogant assumption.

[@teutonalex]

I got the Yonaka and the sound is imho perfect, - a nice growl and baritone without being too obnoxiously loud. The bad, - my first one lasted about five years and then something inside the muffler got loose and began rattling. Maybe that's a normal lifespan for a AF muffler. The second one fitted very close to the differential and would vibrate against it. I pulled it away using some non stretch tent guy outline.

I like the sound of the Magnaflow cat-back (not listed here), Manzo, and what I purchased & installed on my 1990 NA: the $1000 🙃 Apexi N1 Evolution cat-back (also not listed here). ISR (insert ISIS music here) sounds pretty good too. I like a deep growl, with the burble, and pleasant rasp (someone help me use a better word). Not the type of rasp like when I had an exhaust leak from my catalytic converter 🤢 None of them sounded bad, though, besides the ebay special. 😬😵‍💫🤮 Idk how something that is shaped so similarly to the other exhaust systems can sound so horrid.🤯 Materials, internal design? Lol

[@HazardGarage]

most likely baffling and how its used or internal piping in the muffler?

[@michael_christian9461]

I wish these guys would get on it a bit god damn but tbh i like the j2 engineering one a lot its anoying it hangs so low though

[@HazardGarage]

Yes! would be much nicer if some people got on it a bit more. Unfortunately a lot of these exhaust hang lower than stock and on a Miata thats already so low, it can be tricky. OEM designed looking ones are your best bet for fitment probably. I have the Manzo personally, and it fits well but is just ever so slightly lower than stock so I lose some ground clearance and can't use the OEM rear chassis under brace. =(

i have an automatic miata will the yonaka exhaust still sound the same as a manual

[@HazardGarage]

I don't see why it wouldnt.

[@yamilrodriguez3566]

it should as your transmission still switches gears just automatically instead of you doing it, if anything you will hear the switch through gears even better with the exhaust because i hear mine so clearly in my auto

[@colemackenzie5508]

I’m not extremely educated with cars but do all these have cat backs or no? if some do then which ones

[@HazardGarage]

Hi Cole! Yup these are cat-back exhausts. From the catalytic converter all the way back to the muffler.

[@solid_spec]

Fujitsubo 🤤

[@TravisBone14]

Now is your car 1.8 or 1.6, cause my gfs 1.8 sounds wayyy deeper stock then my 1.6

[@sozansoro2096]

The manzo exhaust you put in the link will it fit for a 95 na Miata as well ?

[@HazardGarage]

The manzo exhaust is made for the model years that only have 1 O2 Sensor. For models with a 2nd rear O2 sensor (its for monitoring emissions only), you will need to add a bung and maybe cut off a hanger. I have a 97 and had to add an 02 sensor bung and chop off an extra hanger on the midpipe. You can easily modify/add a bung without having to weld using these: O2 Sensor Clamp: amzn.to/3qDF7f0

[@RadishHh]

I haven't been busted with it...but with that said, this thing sets off alarms. Manzo is NOT a quiet exhaust lol

Just bought an NA Miata with an isr installed and it's just too loud for my daily commute especially since I work nights and live in a suburb. Any suggestions for something quieter without going back to OEM?

[@HazardGarage]

yeah the ISR is definitely a loud one. You can try welding on another muffler or replacing the resonator that came with it. Remember a muffler is what makes an exhaust quiet. A resonator is really just to help with drone (although it does quiet an exhaust a bit, another muffler will have the greatest impact on sound).

[@joshwhite6164]

What’s something louder than stock but not obnoxious

exhausts like the yonaka or megan linked above would work. basically that type of oval design will give you something not too loud over stock but still a good tone.
