Evening Mx-5ers of PH.

The exhaust on my car is blowing at idle and a resonant rattle/noise on moving off. It's fairly rusted and was expecting it to need changing.

I've been looking on the Moss website at the Milltek system. http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewProducts.asp...
Same exhaust? http://www.millteksport.com/performance.exhausts.c...

Being a 1.8 Mk 2.5, does anybody know if the Mk2 on that site will fit okay(I assume so)? Just looks like the rear silencer?

I don't want anything too loud but a little more "sporty" would be well received, I think the Mx5 Parts exhaust may be quite loud and have heard the Milltek is a bit more subtle. Not many sound clips of this exhaust around though, only one I think.

Also, is that a reasonable price for a silencer only? Are the exhaust gaskets and hangers universal?

Sorry for all the possibly simple questions, never done this before!

Thanks

Back box is the same on Mk2 & Mk2.5. The rest of the exhaust is different though.
Standard gaskets & hangers are fine. You should only need a new crush gasket, the hangers should all be fine.
