“An excellent value for money exhaust, fitting was simple and everything lined up perfect, the only hard part was removing the old exhaust! but plenty of penetrating oil, a hacksaw and hammer soon had it off, in total less than one hour to remove and re fit.On the road it sounds great, yes more noise than standard but of the right type and not boy racer type boom, just chrisp and sporty as a sports car should be, i have left the cat in place so you don't get the underfloor boom that can come from a de-cat car.I would recommend this as a great value replacement and delivery was realy fast, next working day!!”

“Got this exhaust at the Planet MX5 tech day. Fitted when i got home. Absolutely brilliant.... I have got it with a de cat pipe (non silenced) and it is great. Nice rumble idle and loud when you put your foot down. Quite raspy but sounds great. Excellent exhaust. No problems fitting and was very shiny.”

“Beautifully made, fitted easily to the previously bought MX5parts decat and lined up perfectly with the mounts and bumper cut-out. I removed the RH tow-eye (easy) just in case I should suffer the snagging problems that one or two others have suffered. Honestly, a 30 minute job and that includes removing the original.Power? Probably not. Sound? Oh Lordy.....its WONDERFUL. In conjunction with the decat and a K&N 57i induction kit, it now has deep burble at idle which builds to a full on scream beyond 3.5-4k. Nice subtle rasp as you head up the rev range as well. The Roadster sounds the way it looks now. Love it.Kev (Five Alive)ps. Did the 14 degree timing advance at the w/end. Do it. Doddle. What a difference. What power and torque the wee 16 had is now more accessible. Recommended.”

“Ordered this on monday morning, showed up tuesday lunchtime. Outstanding service, best for any internet company that i've purchased from. Had it fitted at local exhaust centre, along with the pipercross induction kit, to my 1.8 mk1. Amazing. Sounds like a completely different car. Sounds like an old rally car to be honest, and a marked improvement in throttle response means it goes a bit more like one as well.It has to be said that this exhaust is extremely loud when you flex your toe and considerably larger than the stock pipe. I love it, but I think all sports cars should shout about it, it certainly won't be for everyone.Thanks mx5 parts for livening up my car.”

“It looks lovely, but it's a little louder than I would like. It's also not entirely convincing at certain rev ranges. In first gear, for instance, at the higher rev ranges (5000+) it really farts - that kind of raspy sound which makes it obvious that the volume is exhaust generated, rather than because the engine is particularly powerful. This is calming down as I put some miles through it, but still, 1000 miles later it hasn't lost the rasp completely.All that said, in 3rd + 4th gear it sounds just lovely, and given the fact that it's beautiful and such good value for money, I am pretty happy with it.”

“What a great product (and usual next day delivery service provided by MX5parts as always).I fitted this in addition to a de-cat pipe and now the car sounds as it should and appears to rev better in the higher range. The exhaust mounted perfectly and appears very well made.For the price of this exhaust, you can not go far wrong. I am very impressed with the differing notes from the pipe at various rpm, particularly the rasp when under hard acceleration.The exhaust is quiet enough on idle and only noisey when under load. Some may not like the noise (perhaps on a long motorway journey with the roof down), but to me it's another reminder you are driving a sports car!”
