How loud is the noise supposed to be, i just got a 5x8 Xforce muffler fitted, still 2" piping and the noise is quite loud inside the car - possibly louder than outside. Would adding deadener to the boot help stop this?

What size is the stock exhaust piping?

I've got one of those funky dual tipped exhausts, with a side that opens up.

Not sure what it means, but it certainly looks pretty cool :)

On my series 1 it's about 2", i think series 2's have 2.25".

Are you sure you've got one of the mechanical mufflers? I thought they were only on S2 models, i just took mine off the other day and it only had the twin tips, no moving parts.

Yeah, that's what I thought!

Mine looks a bit big for a 2", but it probably is.

Definately has the mechanical moving bit, though.

I've fiddled with it, fun little toy, haha.

I'm 99.99% sure I have a S1, though... Maybe an aftermarket mod?

I'll take pictures tonight :yes:

Or you could just put a better muffler on it :P

I did realise that it was a straight through design, it also stated "Fibreglass packing for effective noise suppression" so i assumed that would cut down on drone. Any suggest on mufflers which will sound better than the tinny rattle my stock one has, but without the drone?

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
