If you're like most Mazda MX-5 enthusiasts, one of the first upgrades that you're likely to consider for your car is an upgraded exhaust system. For the earlier 1990-2005 Miata we found that many of the available exhaust systems on the market produced a modest upgrade in exhaust tone and quality as compared with the stock system. If you simply replaced the exhaust system with a typical bolt-on muffler and connecting-pipe section, depending on the internal design configurations, these systems might produce a near stock like exhaust tone, or a rather noisy, brash, in-your-face exhaust note.
Racing Beat's MX-5 Muffler
A simple and reasonable upgrade to the MX-5 exhaust system is the replacement of the muffler section with an aftermarket unit. Our testing has shown that Mazda's engineers did a very good job with the performance tuning of their muffler unit and squeezing any significant power gains through the use of an aftermarket exhaust is difficult. The Racing Beat team developed several different straight-through mufflers, chambered mufflers, and baffled mufflers in an attempt to optimize power gains, while moderating the "boomy" tones that prevailed under deceleration.
We are confident the final system that we now offer has met these objectives and delivers an outstanding combination of quality sound, appearance, and performance. We designed our muffler to appeal to MX-5 owners that drive their cars on a daily-basis and prefer a more mature, modest exhaust tone yet will provide an aggressive "attitude" when you jump on the throttle!
Easy-to-install, this 304-stainless steel system features dual 3.5" OD tips and can be bolted to the car in minutes using the supplied hardware. The muffler is "cat-back" emissions legal and meets all California sound level requirements. This Racing Beat component is backed by our 1-Year Limited Warranty.
