Will be curious how you like it after living with it a while (due to volume). Looks nice.

Oh it's staying. I only drive the car maybe some on the weekend and that's it. With the windows up its not bad at all. What's louder (cabin wise) is the vibrations and diff noise I get. Running the hardest urethane cts bushing (re shift), and all urethane suspension. The idea behind the car was to have a nearly track prepped car but completely sane for the street. All interior behind drivers seat is gutted. Aggressive kirky seat.

The car has definitely come along. A few things left and it should be near 100%. Unlike my throttle at wide open, which is only 76%, lol.

What's this? Michael on Club Roadster? LOL I guess we all have friends in low places!

Great set up titangts! You made it easy to shove a header muffler in the pipe for your trip to Atlanta if the drone gets old on the road.

Just the FB page. I keep thinking about unliking it due to all the kid poop on there, then a post like his goes up. We should all be on Tom's V8 Miata FB page and leave those lowly I4's to their misery! LOL

I've thought several times about doing something just like yours, but my wife rides with me and isn't into it so the FM exhaust will stay but cut outs are in my future. I do prefer the single exhaust look. Is your rear bumper cut? Would you post a daylight pic of the rear view? In the 'show me your tips' thread would be awesome!

Really you prefer single Michael? Damn we need a poll before I cut my cover - I can't decide!

+1 to cut outs. I've had them on a couple of cars and it's truly the best of both worlds. They should be standard from FM on your car!

Yup...Even being from big loud truck country, I've always preferred a single.

My FM exhaust has a great sound but is mild by design. I don't doubt they would accommodate the request though. My impression is they enjoy the special request that ends in something non routine. I know one of the builds on their site has a single exit on a V8 build by customer request.

I'll post a picture tomorrow. Yes, bumper is cut. I'm running a spinetech muffler btw.

I specifically wanted the single, I personally think it fits with the car's style. Dual looks strange to me unless it's an NC.

The fm exhaust was WAY out of my budget, just as their oil pan (which I really need). And when I heard it i knew that's not what I wanted. It's way too quiet!
