I just went for the MX-5 Parts one and I think they fitted it for free. Not too loud but more noticeable than stock

Do they do the SS mid section or will I need to use mine?

The MX5Parts one is very good quality. It also sounds inoffensive at idle, has a nice burble at lower revs and sounds tuneful when pressing on.

I teamed mine up with an IL resonated mid pipe.

IL resonated mid pipe.

Did it all fit OK, as it reviews say "A bit of a fiddle to fit as some bracketry has to be removed to get it in place." and "Stabilizer bars have to be removed"

Sorry for the late reply. No problems fitting it.

I have Whiteline ARBs. Don't know if the standard ones would cause an issue.

I have a Racing Beat back box (no link pipe)

Subtle, but nice sound. I wanted to avoid droney, and have.

I wanted it as it’s a bit different from the usual, which appeals to me. Very good quality. And if you look hard enough, you can see the etched branding.

I’ve got an MX5parts back box and like it. I’ve got no cat or resonator and it’s still fairly quiet.
