Using my 5 year old, $90 harbor freight welder and $20 reciprocal saw, I deleted the muffler. I took the stock tip, polished it up, and sanded and painted the rest of the piping with aluminum silver 1200 degree paint. I made the tip come to a different angle and stick out a little further... gotta show off the bling. (Doesn't stick out as far as the pictures make it seem)

I can't decide if I really like it, but it's definitely better than stock IMO.

i know who i can get a brand new 18x3" polished stainless tip from...
the only reason i havent done it yet is because my car would be too loud with just 1 muffler, and i dont want the whole exhaust rebuilt until i do the swap.

Trying something new!

I've had a few cars that wouldn't take turns worth a shit, so now it's time for slow but great handling. Picked up the KYB AGX 8 way shocks today :ninja:

Thanks man!

Keep in mind the car is about to be slammed with some zero offset wheels. It'll look more in place.

Perfectly good miatas don't sell for $900.

whys everybody picking on evan? I mean, i dont know him personally, or follow his post. so maybe he is a douche bag, but on this particular thread, he hasnt said anything mean/rude/stupid. I think there are worse things to do with your day then make an exhaust. Isn't the whole point of being a car enthusiast to try new things with said car? for example, I painted some interior pieces on my car today, never painted before, and they may turn out like crap, but im atleast getting hands on. I think the same principle applies to Mr. Evan. That is all. Later, DB.

Sure they do, they pop up for that cheap all the time. I'm sure this incredibly ugly exhaust you've welded up is a nice shape and angle to shove up your ass now, isn't it?

Another guy with a Miata around with 0 offset wheels and slammed had an exhaust like this, I prefer a more hidden look or center exit like Roadsters.
