Thinking about changing my exhaust in the new year, it's seen better days and was after people's advice and perspective on a good replacement. I don't want it to be to loud or big, a nice sporty note, ideally keeping price down, no custom jobs or hugely expensive brands. I've been looking at the mx5 parts one, looks the part, any opinions or reviews on this from you guys? Cheers.

Thanks for all the replies. Is moss the best place to get a cobalt exhaust? The tail pipe does look a little big. Not sure on the lambda sensor plug either.

Thanks for the advice, pics and vids guys. Will be between the cobalt and mx5 parts one. Whoever has the best new year offers I guess. Both these exhausts seem to fit the job perfectly.

Is it likely that mx5 parts will have a new year sale? 10% off etc?

Well it's taken its time as I decided to have some panels resprayed first but I have just received my cobalt exhaust system, fitting next week, looking forward to it.

Well after trying a second garage, the centre section as about three inches too long, gutted!!! Got to send it back tommorow. Really not sure what the issue was there, but I had a look and it wasn't going on.

Well, it has no wiring for a lambda sensor so I guess it shouldn't have a cat it's a 1991 1.6 uk car. That's what the garage said but it has a cat on it. Could it be that if I stuck a shorter cat on it would work?
