Yes that rasp and the volume does seem to indicate a complete absence of any baffles and sound absorbing materials... The sound is litterally just bouncing around the pipes...

Certainly explains the touchy throttle with no restriction.

When I had the stock turbo, I'd be on boost reversing up driveways.

100 cell cat fitted today as there was none, a tad quieter but not much.

Less rasp. Next to zero loss in performance.

The mufflers looks as new, no evidence of cutting open or modification.

I did a poke inside the rear muffler to feel for baffles and/or walls.

It appears completely hollow.

It's looks the same system as Luis.

The previous owner told me he went for a straight through option on the exhaust.

Anyway, still have AMPerformance intake to stick on, then tune. Probably be louder again.

Intake will change bugger all.

It's already metal; all you're doing in putting a bigger pipe down to the same inlet restriction.

Is that for the 2.5 and 3.5 litre motors ? My flanges are badly rusting and figure I'll be needing to do something soonish and I've got the 3.5...

All NM35 (VQ25det) cat-back exhausts will fit a PNM35/PM35 (3.5L) without modification.

The M35 (VQ25dd) utilises different hangers for the rear muffler for whatever reason.

ok sorry revisiting this again.

People are constantly commenting how loud my car is so back to work on it.

My exhaust is Legalis R, twin 83mm tips. Fujitsubo stamp on the rear muffler

Rear muffler is straight through with a perforated inner skin. (Boomer)

I can see the inlet with a torch.

Internal outlets look 50mm then flare to 83mm

Can anyone confirm this is the genuine design for this system ?

Thinking of fitting a chambered rear if it won't be too restrictive..

thanks

 

Are these car people or just general population?  As someone not into cars may think anything louder than a prius is too loud.

It's possible yours may have been modified as I have a freeway dolphin dump and front pipe, into a fujibutso legalis R and it's very quiet a full turbo back 3inch. I also have a 7m powered soarer with 3inch kakimoto exhuast which sets off car alarms it's so loud in comparison.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
