Correct - we leave you with room to adapt the system to whatever your exhaust configuration might be. We do have a V-Band Flange/Flex Pipe kit that should make things easier if you'd like to ditch an existing bolted style flange for a V-Band configuration. We obviously don't want someone running our 3" down pipe into a stock exhaust flange.

We're picking up another NC Miata this week and will be producing this kit for the 2.0 and 2.5 swapped guys. Dedicated thread to follow...

A customer vehicle with a 2.5 swap will be running our setup in 3 weeks, our own NC will be running it shortly after.

Can't say I completely recommend this but it is enjoyable to see customers getting excited. He didn't even get it off his driveway before mocking his EFR Side Mount Kit up.

We're now back to offering the Garrett V-Band configuration.

That's actually my plot and yes, that was done in 5th gear. Maybe I'll get the hardware for this kit and do a Fab9 vs ARTech shootout!

That first plot was from @Jeffbucc - turns out he had a bad valve and a malfunctioning boost controller - My 7163 NB spools much quicker than his 6258 plot - I don't recall if he resolved it before engine failure though.

<p>He also was on a dyno that wasn't loading correctly so while the top numbers were correct it wasn't spooling at max speed.</p><p>IIRC</p>

None of my plots should be taken as a reflection of the performance of Fab9's kit. I had a bad valve on the first tune and then head gasket issues on the following tune. Until the engine is rebuilt I won't have a better plot. But, after that, it should hopefully reflect the performance akin to the quality of his turbo kit. Which, is beautiful.
