I hear a turbo really quiets a car down.

Yeah yeah. Not interested. Have a likecat anyways.

The resonator in the cobalt mid is much shorter than the racing beat also.

2) too good sounding 3) too fast 4) too much logic 5) not enough pain, suffering, torquelessness, loudness :dealwithit: |

Might make it quiet. Maybe. The MSM droned nearly this bad as well, though. I can remind you if you'd like that that car had a turbo. As did two other Miatas that i've owned. I've had more turbo Miatas than n/a Miatas. One could say that i'm making informed decisions. |

Hah i actually ran across that video yesterday. Is it just the video? It sounds pretty raspy, i had it under the "wet fart" category, but it may not be like that IRL.

Speaking of the MSM, that stock exhaust is actually really good. My buddy has an MSM exhaust on his NA and probably it would fit the bill for you.

Well yeah. I spent a huge amount of money on this car in an attempt to get exactly what i want. I don't want the car to sound like wet farts, so it's not going to sound like wet farts.
I've heard MSM muffler on an n/a NB. Sounds bad. |
heres how you get rid of wet fart noises... remove the BP

The car sounds GREAT right now. Easily the best sounding n/a BP i've ever heard, outside of race car stuff like Madjack's. |
I run the same setup more or less and can't imagine it being loud. BP4W with NA (b/c 97) RB header, resonated mid-pipe, and muffler with enthuza OBD-II cat. With RB test pipe it's much louder/rapsier, but with cat it's smooth and pretty quiet. At speed the loudest noise for me is just that general loudness in the cabin being transmitted from the trunk. If I measure decibels that +wind/road noise is what will be picked up, not exhaust drone.

Is it the RB resonated pipe or a different one? Where is the cat located?

Hrm ok. So your midpipe resonator is likely shorter/smaller than mine because NA. I'd expect your setup to be SLIGHTLY quieter but not crazy. Wtffffffffffff.
RB offered to sell me another muffler on the cheap. Vteckiller suggested i buy a borescope and take a peek inside this muffler. |

Some of it is frequency, but the outright volume level being exactly the same as my other car tells me that it's more than just that. I can't hear a single bit of road or wind noise over the drone. I run a 6spd/4.30 combo so i'd imagine we're in the same ballpark for highway RPMs.

TBH vintagerust's car sounds like it'd be more annoying to me than yours, at least based on those two videos. If it turns out your stock muffler can no longer connect at the axle flange, can you borrow one from a friend to try out?

I don't really know anyone with a stock miata. I did remember that i have another thing to try that would be fairly annoying as i continue to burn through these stupid single use gaskets. I have a huge muffler'd rear section for the exhaust on the other car. Could try the resonated midpipe from the other car with the huge muffler and see what happens. Fitment isn't near as nice on that setup but might get me some data. Gonna mess with a $20 scope first though. Sick of putting Miatas on jack stands at the moment. |
