Love the orange on the miata didnt know it existed

[@BlackWidow_RF]

exclusive for the 30th anni version.. i hope you´re not sad now x)

[@richard-mai]

Since the exhaust takes up less space underneath, is the underside aerodynamically affected? Does it create any stability issues at higher speeds? I watched a video of someone installing a Verus rear diffuser and claims it helps with the above issues due to smaller exhausts

[@DriveMX5]

Have not noticed, but I did just pick up that same diffuser, I’ll let you know the difference after I install it!

[@richard-mai]

@@DriveMX5 awesome! Looking forward!

[@michaelriggs6761]

I just put this muffler on, absolutely love the sound of it but just want it to be a bit louder, thinking about buying GWR midpipe to try and increase volume.

[@DriveMX5]

I think that’ll help! Also curious to know how the two sound together. I always wanted to do a full exhaust on this car but never really got around to it

[@michaelriggs6761]

@DriveMX5 I'll most likely be ordering it in a couple weeks, going to start with a mid pipe and see where that gets me, if that's not enough I'll just get a header too😂

[@orclean1]

you indicated your a salesman with Mazda , Im looking for a new at msrp 2022 Miata convertible , 6 speed or a 23 Maita

[@DriveMX5]

I would love to help but I am no longer working as a Mazda sales person. I would highly recommend Classic Mazda in Orlando, that is the dealer I used to work for

[@Yogi17-r3t]

How are u.. I'm about to install this exact exhaust on my mx5 but I wonder if this requires any tune or if it's just remove the stock one and replace with the new one 🤔

[@DriveMX5]

Just replace the stock one, no tune required

[@Yogi17-r3t]

@@DriveMX5 thanksss

[@ltkwok]

Any more horses?

[@DriveMX5]

I should have put it on the dyno before doing the exhaust. After it put down 169whp on a Mustang dyno. I'm sure it made a slight increase in power. The engine does feel peppier! Could also be because it's screaming at me louder lol. Either way I'm super happy with it!

[@zacharychristianson3885]

Just set up an order for a 2022 that I want for longer road trips and local spirited driving. how accurate is the 50% increase in sound that they mention in the description of that muffler? Not really intending to mod it right out of the box, but some preliminary searching never hurt right?

[@DriveMX5]

I would say very accurate. It’s noticeably louder and has a much better tone IMO. But it’s definitely not too loud as a daily driver and is very mild while cruising on the highway

[@zacharychristianson3885]

@@DriveMX5 Thanks! That's good to know, now I just have the hardest part of waiting for the car. I remember hearing another goodwin muffler once upon a time and thinking they have a, for lack of better term, "true" roadster sound. I'm seriously looking at this once I'm more used to my MX-5.

[@DriveMX5]

@@zacharychristianson3885 I agree with that! You’re welcome. Hoping your MX5 comes soon, you’re going to love it!

[@zacharychristianson3885]

@@DriveMX5 Ha, I wish. Dealer says 6 months. There are some disadvantages to living in Wisconsin I guess. If it wasn't for the snow I'd have had an NA for at least 10 years now.

[@DriveMX5]

@@zacharychristianson3885 🤯🤯 those supply chain issues really hitting hard. Not worth rust proofing an NA huh?

[@draquine]

Did this lessen the heat in the trunk?

[@DriveMX5]

I’m not sure if it had an effect or not, haven’t really paid attention to that. Sorry!

[@arcangelobarone]

Hello, there is any drone phonomenon with this muffler? Thank you! 😊

[@DriveMX5]

No drone at all, it's perfectly mild when cruising and loud but not too loud when flooring it

[@jonsantana4937]

VERY NICE

[@rocky6888]

Did you use the same gasket or get a new one?

[@DriveMX5]

I just reused the old one. Haven’t noticed any leaks, thankfully

[@Post_Leako]

Any noticable drone in the time since you put it on? I know you said there wasn't any in a previous comment, but thought I'd ask again to see how its been in all that time. Also, did you delete the sound tube with this exhaust? How's that been?

[@DriveMX5]

None at all! Still sounds amazing even 2 years later and I have had no issues with it. I did not delete the sound tube, but am debating on doing that in the future. Some say it doesn't make a difference, others say it cleans up the noise in the cabin and allows you to hear the exhaust better

[@dan428]

@@DriveMX5 I deleted the sound tube pretty early on with mine.. and it definitely made a big difference at least with the stock exhaust. Not sure if it would be as noticeable with the louder exhaust. But I guess the sound isn't bothering you anyway

[@garrett4865]

You didn't show how to jack it up.
