Time to figure out a new exhaust... Suggestions?
Well, I currently have the Flyin Miata Duals and before the turbo I LOVED their sound. I would like to replicate that type of sound with the turbo.
I am having a new 2.5" exhaust made from the turbo to the tips This will likely start next week. So I have to hurry the heck up and figure out what I am going to put under there.
There will be no cat. And nothing of the stock system reused. I do however, want to stay with a dual exhaust look, as the bumper is already cut for it... and I just like how it looks.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I know Exhaust sound is subjective.. But I don't want it to be loud, but would love a growl and burble like the FM exhaust had.

3" all day.
As far as sound, magnaflow/or knockoff (xlerator) will get you a similar sound as the flying miata kit as well as piece of mind that you are getting the least amount of restriction possible.
However, i enjoy the sound of the 40 series flowmaster better. it has more tonal quality over the magnaflow. i would recommend using a resonator with it as it tends to drone.
in your particular case if you were interested in running a flowmaster and still keep your duals the 80 series is a transverse muffler will work.
the flowmaster is a baffled muffler and does restrict the exhaust a bit but not much, i do notice a difference when running between the two.

My favorite is:
leave the turbo at the same ID as the turbine outlet
either cone shape, a 5 to 7 degree, or use a series of shallow swages to reach a dia of 3.0
put the 3.0 end about 10 inches aft of the engine/tranny joint
create a 1 into 2 joint (Y) with the two legs of 2.25 each. two 2.25's are bigger than 3.
two parallel 2.25 tubes back to the diff, then turn one left and one right. This is the only time in modern society one can turn left in an acceptable manner.
add a foot long 2.5 id glass pack to each leg and then out the back. If a drilled core is not available use a punched core and run it backwards.
Add a nice pair of ****.
