3" Exhaust
In preparation for my new built engine, I want to go from my 2-1/2" Flyin Miata Exhaust to. 3" . Currently running 12 # of boost and will probably bump a little higher with new motor. A 3" setup from Flyin Miata is a possibility, but I was wondering if there are other possibilities. This is for a street car and I would prefer to keep a catalytic converter on it, albeit a high flow one.
Suggestions? Paul |
Have a good local exhaust shop build you one. We just built one for a customer car in our shop that has a cat, 3 inch all the way back.

What Magnaflow is that? Is it the 12579/14579?
Also, what was your approximate cost in aluminized steel? |

So is it quiet :)

FM's 3" downpipe and exhaust fit and flow very well. All the parts come in a box for easy DIY installation.

I assumed that the FM part would be good. I was just looking for alternatives to $1200. The thing about the FM system is that I know how it will sound. I really like a mellow exhaust. I'll talk to some local fabricators to hear some prices and ideas.

Kraken makes or used to make full hotsides+exhaust for a reasonable price
Hes not super clear if he still does exhausts or just downpipes as of late though |
Drive up to Charleston and I could probably make you something.

here is a pic of my 3" exhaust, its ugly and cheaply welded, but works great.
we'er in florida, no need to overspend on stainless, no rust here. also no need for a cat. but thats up to you. just look at the piping/bends i have, and buy the same at a supplier and take with a pic of my exhaust to any muffler shop. shouldn't be too pricey to weld up. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...fb5439c084.jpg |

IME, the FM 3" exhaust on my car is quite a bit quieter than the other 3" systems I've heard.
--Ian I currently have the FM 2-1/2" exhausr and, aside from it being too small, like it very much. Anyone in the North Florida area running a 3" I could listen to? Paul |

and THAT is very much a factor. My concerns about going to a local shop is, by the time I hear the system, I've already bought it. The fabricator, obviously, can't tell me in advance what it would sound like.

Following up.
I decided to hit the "Easy Button" and buy the FM 3" exhaust. Easy install, sounds good. Sold the old 2-1/2" for $350.
