Cutting the shelf behind downpipe
#21
I really think you should go with a bottom mount setup. You're still going to have a hard time getting a 3" downpipe in there with that removed.
I can seam weld it if you need me to. I could probably tote my welder up there without too much issue except I dont know how they feel about bringing pressurized gasses across the border.

Are you up for making me an exhaust though? From my "cat" back... I want to re-locate the magnaflow I have on the back to right after the downpipe and run a left exit "straight pipe".

Don't cut into it anymore than you have. There is structure behind there, and you don't want to mess with it. However, the "ears" against the firewall can be cut out entirely. Every v8 miata has them cut out. Picture of mine before paint:
edit: There are some subframe mods that can be done as well that will give you crazy room. Let me know if you want to consider that.

I'm cutting my bumper, and want to get rid of as much weight as possible. And the exhaust I have droops too low and always scrapes (and I'm not even that low!). There is ample room to re-do the exhaust a good 2-3 inches higher. And it will involve very few bends = more flow.
