Kakimoto is quiet. There was one on the FS within the last couple of weeks. I'd buy that if I still had a car - my favourite muffler for a road car.

Fujitsubo is also known for being quiet.

You might wanna put your setup now - there might be a cheaper way.. i.e. if you have a hot dog and cannon then the easiest way to make it quiet would be putting in a mid muffler, it would be cheaper and might sound good.

Good luck.

Go to your local decent exhaust shop and ask them to replace your rear muffler with a Magnaflow oval muffler and a mid oval muffler also. The noise is made by the internal design of your cannon/mufflers.

I changed from a jap exhaust to a custom cat-back and the difference in noise was astonishing, no more drone, popping or headaches just a constant quiet RB26.

I have a 5Zigen oval muffler & literally cannot hear it over the tyre noise. Dunno is you want it THAT quiet, however.

By the way it has a JASMA plate on it starting with 92-. not sure if the 92 in some way refer to the dBA rating.

I had a 3 inch Nismo cat back with the middle 'muffler' and oval rear muffler and 4" tip, picked up 2nd hand for $350 from an importer.

It was as quiet as, prob a little too quiet - i.e. did a 5000 rpm launch with cops on the other side of a van beside me and when they pulled me over they didn't mention one thing about the exhaust, only how fast I took off. No tyre squealing tho(32-GTS4)so that probably disguised the speed of the takeoff a little as well as the quiet exhaust .

Didn't even get a ticket so I am glad the exhaust was quiet.

I just fitted an HKS Silent Hi Power cat back, i was dubious about the silent part as i could see straight thru it and my daughter could fit her whole arm inside it. once fitted i was impressed, it achieved all its goals.

At idle it still sounds a little herby (i have cams), but on acceleration and deceleration it silences quite well, with little to no restrictions.

overall - impressed.

Most aftermarket systems are over the 90DB legal limit.I have a fujitsubo system.Which is really quiet.

However i managed to get defected for it.It was 94.6DB.The standard system i have on it now is 88.5DB.

The fujitsubo Legalis R system is 89DB at 4500RPM.That would be the system id recommend.

      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 🤷

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
