Even with one muffler it won't be too loud. I have 3" downpipe into 3" exhaust and into 3" aspec coffee can muffler. It's about 16" long and 6" around, I like the sound, it's loud but not over the top, you can feel the exhaust when flooring it though, haha.

I also put it on the basement floor, which my mom doesn't like but hey, she has half of the garage packed with her stuff and the garage (the whole garage) is for my use and my cars.

I'm going with a 3" DP, 3" exhaust to a 30" long body, 6" round muffler and 3,5" exhaust tip on each side of the rear bumper.
What do you guys think about this?

WHat kind of I/C pipes should I use?
my turbo has a 2.5" outlet, my intercooler has 2.5 or 3" I/O. what should I do? 2.5 hotside, 3" coldside? I have a 4" inlet on my throttle body which actually is a 75mm (3") TB.

Chad is always right about my car...
UPDATE!!!!! Finally something going on with my car.
I got rid of the subframes... who needs them? FM said that they make miatas fly so I hope mine will...
THe control arms went out to powder coating (GUNMETAL ish).
So i need new ball-joints (where to order them from??), I ordered FM adjustable bushings (lol). Stance Coilovers, Walbro 225lph HP, Fuel Lab FPR, ACL bearings (i can't find a place that carries Clevite around my place and ACL is supposedly better) - these things are being ordered on teh 13th.

UPDATE!!!
I got my control arms back... they have the Super Pro Adjustable bushings from FM. The subframes are painted black using Rust Bullet - 4 layers.
Now I just need some spare time and a few more parts (turbo, WG, a different I/C) and I should be able to put the car back together....
Spare time? haha this is the biggest problem.
I'll post photos of the control arms and subframes later today

In teh morning it's going to the body shop to get some fresh paint.
Here are some photos I took with the new POS camera.
