The Racing Beat Race Connecting Pipe is intended to replace the stock mid-pipe on the MX-5, which eliminates the integrated secondary catalytic converter and presilencer unit.
Manufactured using 16-gauge, 2.375-inch OD stainless steel tubing, this connecting pipe features mandrel bends and OEM style connecting flanges. Designed as a bolt-on component, this connecting pipe is easy to install and utilizes all existing mounting brackets and hangers. For a larger photo of this connecting pipe, follow this link.
Emissions Note: The stock mid-pipe does not feature an oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter. (The oxygen sensors in the MX-5 exhaust system are located before and after the primary catalytic converter, which is located under the stock exhaust manifold near the engine.) Therefore, installation of this race connecting pipe will not impact the OBD II system and installation of this race pipe will not cause a “check engine” light to occur. However, since a factory-placed catalytic converter is being removed by the install of this component, this race pipe is NOT considered emissions legal for street use.
