i too will have 3 inch tbe straight through no cats or res though haha, i dont mind the noise at all it was just kinda weird to come out of no where and do it and keep doing it haha
the only thing is the fan, and the top suport things dont match up so you need to either make new ones or just leave it with out them, with the fan when i ordered it the guy from corksport said he only runs one fan on his turbo mp3 with no problems at all and so far i have had none, or you can do it the right way and get spall or slim line fans, other then that install is a breeze old out new in and ready to go,,,, oh and you need to get a new rad cap, im not sure what the year is but its a miata cap

Mgerst1: While funny... that's not accurately correct in my house hold.
Wife: Hey babe, it's been a little while since my oil was changed.
ME: How long?
Wife: Like 8,000 miles...
So in essence, it costs us $8,290.00 to do oil changes for both cars.

Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money just lying about. If I did, there'd be a KL-xE motor with turbo (x = D or Z).
So what did I do to her today? I cleaned her out. I was tired of having all this trash in my trunk and clutter building in the backseat. It's funny what about 12 half to quarter filled water bottles, a dozen random magazines, couple ratchet straps, a child's car seat, about 5 towels, two pairs of shoes, baggy of old Cheerio's, and about 30 lbs. of random papers can do to the performance and sag of the suspension. I used to think that my non-existant rear wheel gap was from changing the struts from HP's to Tokico's... turns out she just needed cleaning. I gained about an inch in height on the rear suspension. I'm happy because it leveled the car out better. (stooges)
Also, I put a pound cake scented candle under the driver's seat. I've found that candles are way better as air fresheners than are actually getting an air freshener.
