NB8A Exhaust flange question

[project.r.racing]

It's your car and you have to be happy to pay what you wanna pay. If you are happy with $1700, it is your call. I personally know that system could be done cheaper, and I wouldn't be prepared to pay that much. An MX5 has a very small exhaust system and should be pricey due to smallish pipe diameters and lengths used.

Exotic exhausts Sumner park 550 for mandrel bent steel cat back system Inc muffler and resonator. FITTED

CES 1100 for the same of 1500 in stainless.

EBay magnaflow 2.25 inch 100 cat metal 140 ish plus shipping.

As dann and project r say....its just pipe...

Im about to build a 2.25 twin system with the works for a forum member.

The works means, mandrel bent, cat, resonator, one muffler per exit, V Bands etc etc.

The customer is pairing this with a set of well priced off the shelf PROVEN race headers and will only cost him -WAY- under 1500 for the full system.

On top of that its a fully custom system, everything has been discussed and agreed on, with input from 3rd party experts, and if the customer sees his gear in the build thread and wants something changed, he can just say, 'Hey, more ground clearance please' or, 'Straighter routing' or whatever.

I'm trying to find out if the stock NB8A headers finish in the same location (i.e. are the same length etc) as the stock NB8B headers.

One of the reasons I am going with the full monty custom system as above.

It doesnt matter what the stock kit has anymore and I honestly trust Dann to supply me a set up that works and will bolt in from headers to tip without worrying if the supplier is giving me something for a 2000 NB8A and not an NB8B and still wont be made to the design I want out of the materials I want with genuine performance gains.

no they don't....even the mid pipe section is routed differently

NB8A has the cat in the midpipe

NB8B has the cat as part of the headers... The full SMB system retains the standard headers (1/2 half of the headers) where the system splits into two pipes the SMB front pipe takes over which has a cat in it.

If they have built to 8B specs the midpipe wont fit.

The SMB Midpipe does not contain a cat converter, the front pipe has the cat

How do i know?? I had the system on my car when i had my NB8B ill try find some pics of the system out of the car
