Just to stir the pot id like to point out that i once went (over and over and over) 134mph in the 1/4th on a 2.5 inch exhaust (in a rush and had only that material laying around at the time) in a much heavier car then a miata. This was also a fairly average trap speed for a similar setup car so nothing really pointed that it was the end of the world and was robbing 900000whp.
But I would never argue that there wont be gains with a 3.0inch.....

Ok cool you found one source to support your theory.
When are you going to the dyno.
I'm going this Sunday. Last time I had a 2.75" exhaust. I'll see if I make more power.

I live by the the phrase "Talk is cheap". Anybody can build a proxy Miata, and run it on the speculation dyno.
Lets say I am SO wrong, I put a 3" and gain 10 tq.
#1 I learned something
#2 I spent $124 for 10 tq because I was ignorant.(I wish the first 50 were that cheap.)
The only thing I have to lose is an argument (which even if I'm right I will still be the most hated guy on mt.net right now) and a 2.5" exhaust setup.
