Couldn't find anythin in the search file..

Wondering if anyone on here has bought one of the stainless steel NA6 Npower exhausts?

and their opinion on quality and sound of them?

They're also only 2 1/4 inch, but i'd prob prefer a 2 1/2, any real issues here for an nat asp and this size difference?

Cheers,
Luke.

Hotrod got their NB muffler, I expect they're pretty similar.

i know! so many bits to chase!

But its a fair amount of money that i think will be turning into a fence lol!

I'm sorting out standard seats too atm too, looking replace my 2 sparco sprints.

I've got a good driver seat, just need a pair with good passenger for a good $. heaps on ebay but none in SA! :roll:

as usual..

how does the NB one sound??
would be interesting to find out the inner baffle design inside the muffler or whether its straight through?

N power weight = 10.1 kg (about the same weight as stock)

No real performance gain or loss... (Stock NB8B)

Sounds good, my estimate is about 10% louder than stock. You will notice the difference but its not so noizy that you cant live with it.

Can still listen to music and have the roof down, people wont notice it etc.

For the price its good value.

Ive had it for about 3 months thus far Im very happy with it.

Also Stu has one and we are all happy. N Power are good to deal with as well which helps. Gives the car a sporty note with out the headache of a hoon exhaust.

I didnt have any fitting issues or rattles.

Maybe you had a worn exhaust hanger and it moved about a bit.

can't really fault n-power for that one. mx5's do not have tow hooks , yours must have been fitted by a previous owner. FYI the legal towing capacity for an mx5 is 0kg... so you cannot legally fit a tow hook to an mx5. bloody handy thing to have tho, to put your bike rack on for example.

You turkey fatty! :lol:

The hook that is under the rear of the MX5 is for people who are towing YOU backwards out of the sand trap! :mrgreen:
