5) It's additional pain and suffering to fix a torquelessness that i don't experience, but yeah. 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.

Nah, it's not really raspy. And it's changed in tone/vol since the first start. In the higher rpms, it takes on a note akin to a brass instrument, but it's much more mellow in the lower rpms. It's hard to record it right, because the microphone tries to compensate for the change in volume. It probably gives enough volume at full throttle to get someone's attention, but hushes on decel. Definitely a plus when you see a cop, and need to slow down. lol

That would involve getting rid of the car. Not interested. The point of this was to build the best NB commuter i could using off the shelf parts. If i can't do that, then i don't want it. Full stop.
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.

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.

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.
