Dual Exhaust

Postby BRegs » Sun Nov 09, 2014 3:05 pm

Hi all,

Looking to install a dual exit exhaust onto my 2000 NB. Have recieved a number of suggestions, but have managed to narrow the list down to two (links below)

http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/stainless-ste ... -1515.html - MX5Parts.co.uk's dual exhaust

OR

The I.L. Motorsport dual exit exhaust: http://www.ilmotorsport.com/shop/articl ... b3b1328b8e


Does anyone have any experience with either of the above?

Thanks,
Ben

Assumption is that you want 2 pipes out the back like an NC. You will pay a premium so watch the freight cost. You can easily get a sporty note from easier sourced cat back single pipe at good price. I doubt 2 pipes will be superior to 1 and likely to be a bit heavier.

Very true, but as above - it looks awesome! I've seen it on a few NB's in Sydney and it looks perfeeeeeeeeeect!

I don't know. Just found the pic on the 'net.

Personally, I would hunt around for a reputable exhaust shop in your area and get them to quote up a dual exit system for you.
It should be cheaper than importing a muffler from OS.

A good shop will set-up a muffler with the sound that you are after, and will also cut/trim your rear bar to fit.
That's how I got duals fitted to my NA8.
