    Default Fabrication in the garage

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
