Exhaust options

[DannyScene]

Ey up fellow 5ers, I'm just curious as to what exhaust everyone is using as I'm in the market for one

I want something quite loud and decent looking, so far it's between

Cobalt @ £195.95 http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/mazda/m...


MX5Parts @ £229.00 http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/stainless-steel-exhaust-...


IL Motorsport @ £248.51 http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/stainless-steel-exhaust-...

Or a custom one for around £300 from whichever local exhaust place I decide to use


So far I'm leaning towards the cobalt system as it seems to be loudest but I'm also looking for opinions if anyone has any on the above please


Thanks in advance

Yeah I saw a Borla one that I liked but as you say I think it was around £600/700!

Haven't looked at racing beat will go check them out now, cheers

Thanks for the replies guys, I know the MX5 parts one is £30 more than the cobalt but looking at the 2 the cobalt has an extra silencer, so it looks like I'll be going MX5parts after all and if I decide it isn't loud enough I'll go the decat route

Just seen they're having a sale, fking ace timing or what!!!

Might use the saving to buy a decat pipe or maybe some TSI's

I love it when a plan comes together

Is that the mx5parts exhaust JF? Also how much is your lowered by?

I'm buying a GCFabrications rollbar tomorrow with the MX5nutz forum discount as well

Aye, it is. Got it in a sale and thought it was really well made and VFM.

I think it was lowered a tiny bit, maybe 2-3cm.

Yeah, it sits really well in the bumper as well I think, your car looks really good, I've got 45mm lowering springs to go on which may be a bit much

Saying that though loads of people run over 100mm drops on their 5's without much problem

I changed my mind last minute and ordered the cobalt one as it seems to be louder on most of the videos I've seen, I don't do any long drives so hopefully the droney-ness? shouldn't be too much of an issue

Is that just the back box or also the mid-pipe, cat etc.?

Don't know if that was directed at me or the guy with the borla exhaust but this is the one I bought:

Also got a set of these after I went OTT with the light tinting spray and ruined my standard lights:

It was exhaust or alloys for me too but with that discount it made it a no brainer to skim the funds and get an exhaust, will just have to run standard alloys for a bit longer

Sorry, I should have quoted. I was aiming at Micraupgrade with the Borla

No worries mate I thought that was the case but wanted to comment just incase so as to not come across as rude

So I gave in

Actually, Mrs Chimp is gonna buy it for my christmas so it'll be getting put away - no idea how she'll fit it under the tree!!

So for £159.94 delivered I got the cat-back AND the lambda sensor blanking plate - what a deal.

Good effort!!

I'm trying to resist buying a splitter now, already bought a rivet on ducktail spoiler this morning
