Honestly, I love the ISR with a turbo. However, when I first got it, my car was N/A, and I used my parents' garage. On startup, I got an angry text that my mom felt the floor shaking from the opposite side of the house. Luckily, I went boosted within a few weeks.

I have been looking for quality videos of the ISR on a turbo. Surprisingly hard to find. Love the ISR sound, hoping the turbo takes the edge off for something that sometimes does DD/touring duty.

Yeah dude for sure, turbo basically takes all loud exhausts and makes them sound so good 😃

No silencer is definitely best. Nice option for a road trip though, like you said.

Honestly one of if not the best customer support at bofi I was having some issues with my car dropped them a msg and they gave me some advice and help to what it may be aswell as having the parts available

I actually like the sound silenced, and with the noise reduction its perfect for the street. Can't wait for the dyno footage to see if it takes away a lot of power.

Oh, yes, MiataDad has given his asthmatic youngest son a little help breathing better! Now, if you give him his inhaler too, maybe he can at least go for a light jog with his (often injured) pro athlete big brother?😆

This is one of the best exhaust reviews I have ever seen. Pulls and revs under different loads... interior and exterior mic locations. Thank you.

I buy everything from bofi for my mx5 and they have never let me down. Extremely friendly and they have some mad builds. Customer service is amazing

I’m so glad you posted this video because this is the exhaust I’ve been wanting to get but I’ve been unsure up until now so thank you!! 😆

I had the M2 motorsport decat back system just like this one and it done me very well until about 1 year/ 5,000 ish miles of usage I had to get 2 flanges welded back on due to them breaking on the welds. Other than that it is one exhaust system id recommend if you’re on a budget.

Yes Greg! So happy you went and bought what I recommended 😀 now if people ask me if I have a video of how my exhaust sounds I can point them to you 😉 I'm still running stock headers though... Kind of on the fence between Racing Beat and those gorgeous ISR high risers

Always full stop and make time for CPC vids. 👏🏻

I’ve had one sat in my spare room for over a year . Waiting on me to finish putting my car together . This video has me re-stoked about it

I love the M2 (Silencer) sound from the inside. It sounded exotic.

I like the point you made with having a silenter that can be installed for long trips. I have a borla and can't wait to rip it off!!! It drones like crazy!!! I wanted to get a center exit exhaust from MX-5 Parts in the UK, but they stopped making them. I think IL Motorsports still may sell one, but their site sucks and I can't get the complete list of parts at times, it's real strange. Best Always,

Love the videos. Thinking of getting the Hooker Blackheart axel back for my nb. Has a nice throaty sound in person.

I know its cliche but I love glasspacks on 4 cylinder cars. Comfortable volume AND deeper exhaust? Yes please. I bought a used catback that had the rear muffler cut in half (idk why but it was like $30) and welded in the longest glasspack I could (and a new tip of course). Couldn't be happier.

Surprised at the difference in tone between the silencer vs without. The silencer makes it sound more "muted" and cuts out some of the lower overtones. Without the silencer, I hear more of the lower overtones included in the sound spectrum while still keepng some of the upper overtones included for some added extra zing.

currently using this on my NA and it's my favourite by far

Sounds awesome. Can’t beat the guys across the pond either! I’ve definitely been pronouncing it wrong though 😂

Awesome video! The NOS clip was the cherry on top 💀

Yay! Miata Monday!!! I needed this today... And it's 2SJ as well!!! woot!!!

Finally more NB content!

Sounds really nice for the cost, I'd have to hear it in person to get a better impression lol. The roadster sport is still king imo

Got this exhaust 2 years back not a bad exhaust for the price. Big shout out to bofi racing too the one stop shop in the UK for mx5 stuff and thingys lol.

Sounds pretty tight with and without the baffle. You could totally hear all the rust and broken metal parts flying around in the old stock muffler. I'm about to choose which exhaust to get. I always check this channel first since I know he's literally obsessed with Miatas. So M2 Motorsports from the UK eh? That may be what I choose. Imma check tho. I have to order a header set too.

i remember having the enthuza exhaust and then i got my buddy club spec 2 and i loved it even more

Wow this is a really slick looking system. Wish I had gone with this instead of the ebay special for about the same amount of money

My NA has a Jackson Racing exhaust and I love it. Decently loud with almost no drone. Bad thing is, I don't know if they make it anymore.

I love my M2 Motorsports exhaust. Nice and deep.

I reallyu appreciate you taking the time to do all of this. I can't imagine how long all of those sound tests took; however, that thing sounds not great.

@TheCarPassionChannel

This is why there are dozens of exhausts to choose from, so everyone can find one that they think sounds great.

I've just had this exhaust fitted as part of my turbo conversion to my 1.8na. I had a custom 2.25" exhaust fitted previously and the M2 was the only exhaust available in 2.5" to help the turbo be more efficient. Ive had it paired with an M2 decat pipe and shit, it bangs and burbles like nothing else. (A bit too much at times). I haven't tried it with the baffle as I didn't want it to take some horses away from me. But I think I'll give it ago, and paint it black first, naturally.

I have this muffler with my custom exhaust. It’s great, little bit on the loud side for me personally but nonetheless it sounds great

dope sound!

Sounds way better!

Sounds great man! Really like how you broke everything down and made a super easy to understand comparison. 🙌

I've got the ISR in my car, and I agree it's so loud it's uncomfortable. I got an aftermarket silencer tip for it and it cut down the noise exponentially. No more heavy droning and it still sounds good. That M2 sounds really good and makes me want to sell the ISR for it lol

Oh yeah time to jam out to a new TCPC vid! 😎

The M2 corked or uncorked sounds great💪

Now I'm curious if you can mod the silencer to find a happy medium between the two. Saw a video of someone using a vw golf pancake mufler on a miata and now I'm hooked on the idea of the can not being visible even after a bumper cut

I'd be much obliged to you if you'd make a video on how to tune that insane 2step! Damn it's the best n/a miata launch i've seen!

Been thinking about this exhaust or a cobalt system for months think I'm fully decided now

Damn that sounds good. My torsen 3.9 rear end came for my 1999 Miata (doing the FM turbo kit and more). I was watching another video from awhile back (Gingum), and he did it to his NA awhile back....he said he needed a shorter driveshaft? He also got beefier axles....I did a little research but not finding it.............do I also need a different driveshaft for the NB? This summer is just the FM turbo kit then next summer more boost (fuel pump, injectors, stand alone ECU, etc). Thanks.....and that exhaust sounds great

Hey mate. Really nice exhaust. Unfortunatly it is not allowed in Germany (no approval like for example the magnaflow exhaust) or at least not like this without a cat.... Im still trying to make it happen, because I freakin love the sound. One question though. Will the middle section also fit on a NB/FL Mx-5? Because thats what Ive got (2002 Mx-5).

It doesn't look like it in the vid but that's one big ass tail pipe for a pocket sized mazda! Like 3.5 inches! I'll be chopping off mine soon and banging on a 2.5" tail end 😲

i like it. just missing the stu stu stu between shifts :P

I have one of these on a supercharged car with a 4-1 header and I will say it's really really loud, like tinnitus/headache inducing, even with the slightest crack of the throttle. Need to get a cat put back in to see if it helps but otherwise likely going to have to change :( Imagine it'd be ok on a turbo.

Fine just bought it for my NA8 since my ISR is not daily drive friendly

So I recently went with the Cobalt midpipe (carb legal one) with the Roadster sport 4 muffler. It’s honestly sounding really good and I don’t have to worry about smog cause of the carb number. Muffler also comes with a DB reducer as well for longer drives.

Awesome vid! Now if I can just find a reasonably priced NB. THey are so overpriced right now it's a joke.

I really want to get this exhaust with my nb paired with the racing beat header, this set up online says around 764$ and that seems a bit steep without adding the racing beat header

Where did you get the pro series jack stands from I haven’t found any

Baffles where shot in mine and rattled like hell after about 8 track days

How do you think it'd be with a throttle input actuated butterfly valve in the tip?

Sounds sweet! I've never ordered anything from the UK. How much in duties and taxes did you have to pay, apart from the shipping cost to California?

I have a 91 NA with aftermarket exhaust that is really loud. I actually wear earplugs when I drive it. And then I have a 2002 NB that has stock exhaust. I actually think the NA takes off with more acceleration then the NB and it's got the 1600 where the NB has the 1800. About the only thing I can come up with is that 1600 is in a lighter chassis and that exhaust is providing better porting. I'm thinking about a aftermarket exhaust for the NB but I don't want it as loud as my NA that's for sure.

@TheCarPassionChannel

The NA most likely has the 4.3 diff compared to a 4.1 or taller in the NB. That makes a huge difference in how the car feels off the line.

can you also use the midpipe and keep the cat? or is it the midpipe install all the way or nothing?

Yes it does have some drone, you may want to consider trying the muffler alone with the stock midpipe which will be quieter. I'm thinking about trying that myself just to see how it sounds, but from what other people are saying it's like a toned down version

Hi Greg, awesome content! I’m looking for the right exhaust system for quite a while. Sounds great and I love the fact that it can be as silent as stock. Using it as a daily with 110km per day, I don’t want to be deaf in a year.. Could this be a good exhaust to start with N/A and build a turbo system with aim to 250 Hp and 300 Nm? I read the system is 2,5 inch, so should be enough. Keep up the good work👌🏼💪🏼

@TheCarPassionChannel

2 жыл бұрын

At idle it's very quiet with the silencer, at cruise it is not as quiet as stock. Not really possible with a 2.5" catless on an n/a engine. That being said it would be just fine for 250whp! You can rock the silencer for long drives and then let er' rip when you want to be loud. A turbo will also quiet down any exhaust.

Have you done a dyno run with and without the silencer yet?

what happened to the O2 sensor on the cat? no check engine codes?

Is it possible to connect the mid pipe to stock CAT?

I just want to shout out to Greg's slick haircut!
