    My bet is on Sammm too, I had originaly wanted to send for overnight shipping but decided to do an oil change on the OTM car instead.
    I love the exhaust note of this muffler from the audio file I heard I just hope it sounds as good.
    I am ordering the Mid pipe and Power Pulse header next Month to go with it.
    Let us know how you like it Sammm, when you get it.

    mmmmmm...Stainless...purdy! Can't wait for the stocker to cool off so I can install it! Too bad it will be hidden under the car.

    Definately NOT a nobox.com shipment! It came in a large box sandwiched in between custom-molded styrofoam'ish stuff.

    Looks good, Sammmy. So that's why I saw you rushing home this afternoon.

    Install was a snap! Get a skinny screwdriver and pry open the rubber hangers a bit. Squirt WD40 in there and work them around a bit while the old muffler is still hanging in them. The old one will slide off much easier. After you get the old one off, spray the insides of the rubber hangers liberally and the new one will slide right in! Wrap the tips with a towel on the removal and install to keep from scratching up paint and/or the muffler tips.


    Baffle?!?! We don't need no stinkin' baffle!

    The note is very nice! Not ricey at all. Just a low grumble and then low rumble/roar at WOT. Butt-dyno says the car is much faster now! I want to say it feels faster off the line, but I doubt it.

    Kewl!!!
    Thanks for sharing that, I am pumped and can't wait to get mine.
    I am really becoming an aftermarket upgrade junkie.
    My wife is about ready to kill me, she says I eat drink and sleep Miata, and what to do with it...she complains that the car consumes my every conversation.
    She's right and I can't seem to help myself.
    Just last night I was searching the web for racing seats...lol
