It's been kinda slow here, so i thought i'd post some miata updates. The new car is pretty spiffy looking. I still haven't done a proper "photoshoot" with it. While I was waiting for insurance to pick up the red car, I "liberated" a few things. It's now got the newish canvas/glass soft top, daisy wheels, and a few OEM engine bits from the red car. I've also removed about 50lbs of underhood zipties, unneeded wiring, electrical tape, etc. The mousetrap rollbar is a hard dog hard bar, which i guess is fairly sturdy for being just a 2 point hoop.



Now, when I got the car, I noticed that the exhaust was a bit noisy. Inspection under the car revealed that the the catalytic converter was an abortion.



Somebody broke off all the bolts, drilled holes diagonally through the broken bolts to install new ones plus whatever the heck cutting and welding went on. I just didn't want to deal with trying to fix it, and i wanted something better since i actually have a nice car now. Decided to replace it was a new jackson racing cat:



And, well, the stock exhaust was pretty sad looking with that shiny new converter on there:



Fortunately moss was having a sale, so i picked up a shiny new Cobalt cat-back to go with it:



The tip is a bit big, but it fills out the bumper cutout nicely:



I couldn't really find any reviews or even anyone who owned one, so when i took this video i had no idea what to expect:



I have a suction cup mount for my camera, so i gave that a try. Too much wind noise for the mic kinda limited the fun.



I went back out later and took some in-car:



The only thing I don't like is that it resonates with a ton of low frequency sound when the hardtop is on while crusing. It's pretty much borderline headache inducing. Full throttle is just dandy. I think it sounds great all the time without the hardtop.

Coming soon, fat tires (not the rubbish that came with the wheels either):

Looks nice, you're lucky you can just go drive it when you feel like it and not have to deal with snow for another 2 months! It's always a nice feeling getting the car ready for spring/summer.

Sounds nice in that Miata kind of way. Have fun with it!

We don't have enough Miata threads on this board.

HEY waitaminite!!! There was more flash on the 'after' exhaust pic than on the 'before'! I bet they both look equally good and you were just using camera tricks like the people that sell snake oil face creams and hair plugs!!!!

Lol, spammers bumped a bunch of really old threads. Sadly, I don't have this car anymore. Here's its last time on track before I sold it though!
