Should I get a stainless sports exhaust?

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __ND2
  2. I’m based near: __Mansfield
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __Bastuck Stainless Steel Sports Exhaust System

Why not , it’ll sound good and if it’s a full system you might see some power gain , plus if your keeping the car a good stainless system will or should last

Yes get one, makes it sound like a sports car should!

I occasionally look at aftermarket exhausts and they are all stainless. You are spending a lot of money on sound and possibly an improvement in performance. It’s £500 better spent elsewhere but I suspect I’m in a minority here👍

You buy an exhaust for what? It’s got to be sound. Most improvements in performance are earlier; usually the header pipes.
Im a bit against loud exhausts, especially on cars that don’t deserve them. There is nothing so sad as a 125cc learner bike with all the baffles chiselled out: more noise and a bit slower…. A very loud small car with little more go than the average Golf is more likely to be laughed at than admired.
If you want to show off do it through the bends… that’s where I do childish things at 75👍
That’s years, not mph.

Who says it has to be loud?

^^^^^^not me. I suggested a change in sound not decibels

An increase in sound increases the decibels.

^^^^^ agreed. But a change of sound doesn’t necessarily. You could get deeper and more burbly without an increase in actual decibels.

Just an opinion……
I always think these sort of topics are a bit daft really.:man_shrugging:
If it’s something “You” fancy then just do it.
(I did for mine).
Some will agree and some will try and put you off with various reasons.

After all, no one seems to post about what sort of kitchen units or bathroom suites they should buy.
Or should I buy X Y over A D. :wink:

Surely an exhaust pipe is far more important than a kitchen unit or a bathroom suite! :joy:
