I fitted one to my beast the other week and had my brother help me out, we had no hoist, just car stands and it took around 2 hours to pull off the old system and slap in the new one few beers to kill some time aswell.

Only problem we had was that 1 of the nuts that fit to the turbo cannot be put on due to the size and curve of the pipe bottom nut hits the pipe no chance of it going on, we used all 3 gaskets and did them tight drive it for awhile and retightend them and no leeks yet.

As for the sound it was a big notice from standard did seem loud in the cab but outside it was a reasonable level dosn't seem to be cop bait to me. Performance was huge mid range torque massive now have no traction in first gear and second and is only running on around 5 cylinders as faulty coil packs, so dont notice high boost that much as it farts and pops wont rev. Got my car not long ago from Japan and seems to be stock all bolt-ons are except for my Apexi pod.

I will try to change my phone format as I have a video of the sound on that.

Definately recommend getting one.

i just installed the front dump and am very happy with it.

not too loud at all, infact much quiter than the old catback system at idle (not at high revs tho)

car runs much harder

you have no traction in 1st and second gears? only due to an exhaust upgrade and only running on 5 cylinders too. . .? i call bullsh.t! :nyaanyaa::domokun:

if ya want akeenan i will take ya for a strap, oohhh by the way it does have an Nismo ECU :blink: , doin some 80 corners the other day at 140 (I know shouldn't) top end of 3rd and started to loose the traction crappy tyres i guess.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
