My Mk2.5's rear silencer's baffles are rattling so need to buy a new exhuast, now I almost dropped down dead when I was quoted 250+ for the silencer from mazda so was thinking of a good quality aftermarket sports silencer. What would you guys recommend, and from where.
TIA

An MX5Parts stainless dual exit exhaust - a bit more expensive at about £290 for a mk2.5 (only £220 for a mk1 for some reason) but they look and sound brilliant!

We have 2 Mk1's in the family, my son has a Larini and I have the single outlet from MX5 Parts and both have been on the cars for over a year, both still look as good as the day they were fitted.The MX5 parts one came with new stainless steel nuts, bolts and gaskets and the box was marked IL Racing, the Larini is just the exhaust which The Larini is slightly quieter. Both were straight forward to fit but it is much easier if you have access to a four post lift. I heard a twin pipe outlet one a couple of days ago and thought that it sounded a bit "flatulent". Both are first class but for value for money and a good exhaust note I would go for the MX5 parts one.

You haven't got a picture of the Larini have you, or a link to one? I think I've got a Larini rear section/backbox on mine, but I can't tell, and as I'm selling the car soon I reckon I ought to know. They are quite expensive aren't they?

Thanks for the replies guys, liking the look of the single exit over on MX5parts so may buy one o those, think the twin exits dont do the car any favours.
Coming from subaru ownership I cant believe there are so few exhausts and how expensive these options are for these cars.
