I was thinking Inconel, should be cost-effective.

Yeah, I'm also going to pull the LS7 and install that too!

Well, I got this for so cheap I might as well try it.

i was thinking something along the lines of driving down friday morning, chilling out around some of the good local places that you FLA guys know about! saturday hitting up the beach. after the beach do some more driving on roads yall locals know and like and make people over our cars. then hit up a bar or two. and sunday, chill a lil more at the beach and then head home!

hopefully some good shenanigans will occur!

That's good. But I think it would be better if you put the LS7 in the Miata, the BP in the C5 and the LS6 in the C6Z.

DON'T DO IT!

Let some kid with civic buy it from you for too much money and do something cool with the cash.

I just saw a guy in an S2000 with dual coffee cans, stuffed under his car... I felt sorry for him. Someone was obviously lying to him when he bought them.

Sorry, I didn't realize I could't contribute to the discussion after a certain period of time. Next time I would prefer the response, "that was so last month".


I've been MrMightyMouse since 2003 on other forums and recently joined this forum because there looked to be some good content. I apologize for upsetting your feelings regarding name similarities.

It's still my opinion that coffee can mufflers make any Miata look ridiculous, regardless of how good they sound or how old the thread is.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm just giving you a hard time.

And yes, coffee cans do look dumb on miatas.
