“Delivered next day.Blown away by the sound of this exhaust fitted to my 91 Roadster. Still have the cat on, was tempted to remove, but sounds just fine with the cat in place.Unable to fit myself as I couldnt get the old exhaust off, so got a local garage to do it. Took them an hour to do it while the car was up on the ramps.Would recommend one of these exhausts to anyone, makes the car sound how it should sound.The only problem I had was my own fault! Why didnt I get one years ago!!”

“I installed this shortly after installing the silenced cat bypass pipe from MX5 parts. There was no problem with the cat bypass on the original exhaust, but when I added this exhaust it became WAY too loud.At tickover, the exhaust isn't too loud. At 5000 rpm under load, the exhaust sounds great - lovely throaty, slightly raspy sound......at between 3000 and 4500 revs under load, there is a nauseating, eardrum-compressing resonant bass boom. Very loud and very intrusive. The sound itself is cool - there's just way too much of it.I called round various places to see if there was something I can stick in the tailpipe to attenuate the noise, but it seems that nothing is available. I was going to try it with the original cat fitted, but I think I'm going to give up and fit a standard exhaust.The build quality on this exhaust is excellent. It looks great. It sounds great, but it's way too loud in the lower rev range when the throttle is applied. This resonance may not occur if you have a cat fitted.Speed of service from MX5 parts was excellent as always.”

“Ordered one day, arrived next. Piece of cake to fit (30 minutes). Looks good and sounds even better. Not too loud but very sporty sound. Cannot be faulted!!”

“A top quality exhaust, fitted this with the cat by pass pipe, fitted perfectly in less than one hour.This has transformed the car what a perfect sound, nicely balanced, just like a sports car should sound. Also it looks stunning the pictures on the web site don't do it justice.”

“Well, i have mixed emotions about this system. Its build quality is excellent (the fitters even commented on how perfectly it fitted!) the sound is tremendous, a low burble on gentle acceleration and on the overun, and a fantastic rasp if you give it some!!!!! However (i am being very picky) i was hoping it would be a little quieter. Its just that weeeee bit too loud to be perfect for me. I know you cant have everything, so will be sticking with it and just accepting that occassionaly someone will shout a rude word at me!I think the phrase "would sound utterly fantastic on someone elses 5" kind of sums up my opinion.Def recommended”

“This is a great exhaust, however I found that it is very boomy (is that a word?) between 2500 and 4000 revs.The performance improvement (with the silenced cat by-pass) is very noticeable, with much more responsive throttle.If I were racing or about 20 years younger I may have kept it but it's now up for sale used for 1 month on MX5OC.I still think its great value!”

“Fitted ok now been on a week and sound good not to loud. But just the right amount of growl for a sports car.”
