Has anyone ever installed one of these on their Miata? My round Magnaflow is just too loud now that I have a new cat which appears to flow much better than my old one and is much louder.

I had a Borla exhaust (but not that one) on my Miata for about 30 minutes. After the test drive I had it removed and replaced with the Racing Beat that I still have now. Needless to say, I am not a fan of Borla.
There are Borlas on my entire collection of Miati. ;-)
But they are both enthuza setups.
Sounds eh on the vids on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jXSb7oOimY
Jr512, mine's not the setup you're looking at, but after living with my catback for a few months now, I think I'm going to go get a resonator welded in behind the cat (there is none now). It's neat and all, but it does drive me nuts with the top up at certain too-slow speeds on the highway - 60-65 on the freeway is BS... 75+ is fine.Quote:

Mine did kinda the same thing. I replaced my cat with an FM cat after I installed the Borla and things seemed to get louder. Don't get me wrong, I still love the sound with the top down (drove all the way to Hallett and back topless), but it booms like a sumbitch with the soft top up.Quote:

I have an Enthuza cat back with a Borla muffler also. I do have a resonator in the mid-pipe. Jason (Mr. Enthuza), talked me out of the no-resonator mid-pipe. I have been happy with Enthuza system.Quote:

I'll let you know when I remove it. It might be a few (or several) weeks.Quote:
