is this exhaust good or crap? and why? what exhaust does everyone use? the stocker just strangles the turbo. when i have the money the next thing i do is exhaust. it doesn't have to be stainless. |
way too small. try enthuza.
|
that's a lot of mufflers :gay:
if you can afford it, this is only around $350 shipped http://www.enthuzacar.com/img/m1turbobudget1.jpg 2.5" |
thinking of building my own. i have welder and summit racing is like next door. never built exhaust before. one scale of 1 to 10(10 hardest) from those of you who have done this; HOW HARD was it.
|
I built exhaust for another car. If 10 is SUPER HARD, then building exhuast is a 4-5. There is nothing Hard about it, you only need what, 2 bends maybe 1 piecut for the miata. It just takes time and if you don't have a lift/pit it's a pita.
|
well damn, you've got a welder? make it yourself, no question. buy a magnaflow from braineack and some piping and flanges and hangers from summit and get to it.
|
I built the exhaust on my car, it's not perfect, but it certainly works. I'm getting ready to redo it.. 100% stainless with vband flanges this time around, going to be balla.. no more bird turd mig welds!
|
custom mufflershop special turbo back 2.5" with a summit turbo muffler flanged. 400$ total or 200$ catback including labor.
I think buying an exhaust system is a waste, I'd rather give my money to a small shop --- on club roadster someone just got one of these |
it's one of those things, most of the exhaust shops don't have a mandrel bender.. or stainless pipe for that matter.
|
if i were you i'd go to harbor freight and buy a tail pipe expander for like 9 bucks, and buy all the stainless steel bends and a couple straight pieces. throw them together and put a couple tack welds just to make sure they don't come apart under high stress. problem sloved.
|
don't tack it, either clamp it, or really weld it.. i did that on my first exhaust.. tacks held for about 10 minutes.. ;)
I ended up clamping it, and calling it a day. |

and its not stainless, which for me isnt as important. still, finding a shop to either use the materials you bring or they have is more appealing to me than buying one. |
