driver-side exit custom exhaust. UPDATE. Video Clip. = )

slevin · 07-11-2007, 12:15 AM

hey guys, im in the process of probably making a custom 3" for my turbo miata.

im thinking if i go through all the trouble of making it, i might consider doing a driver side exit. my car is a 92... and i don't have it in front of me right now, but how will the stock hangers work ? or will i have to fab some new ones ?

any photos of some driver side exhaust is appreciate, thanks

Scott

Just let it come out from the fender. Much easier. It kills a lot of ground clearence having the pipes underneath the rockers.

Sean Jay! · 07-11-2007, 12:31 AM

it will also be very very loud

slevin · 07-11-2007, 12:33 AM

lol driverside fender? that might b a little too hardcore for me. lol

my turbotony downpipe its about midway past the tranny already and i don't really wanna modify it -_-

slevin · 07-15-2007, 02:34 AM

meh, figured it out when i was staring at the bumper when i got back from cali.

basically cut the entire lower area of the bumper off along with the driver side rear tow hook. exhaust guy did 3" all the way back from my 2.5" dp with an aspec l spec straight muffler.

ill get somemore photos and a vid tomorrow or something.

dang wat size wheels r u running on that miata? very nice by the way =D> and that plastic thing that goes around the license plate area, where can i get a replacement one cuz mine has a huge crack in it and i wanna replace it before it goes into paint.

slevin · 07-15-2007, 11:34 PM

16x8 in the rear with a 225/45 hankook rs-2 and 215/45 rs-2 in the front.

oh and the rear finish panel is kinda hard to find for cheap. i've seen them go for almost $200 on ebay.

LostSoulMiata · 07-16-2007, 12:14 AM

Looks good mang =D>

brad · 07-16-2007, 10:09 AM

bumper mod looks sweet, exhaust looks decent, could be a little bit better.

JDMAflac · 07-16-2007, 11:31 AM

What did you use to cut the rear bumper? sanding? paint chips?

slevin · 07-16-2007, 06:57 PM

jigsawed that biotch. had to torch the left side tow hook too.

The90iestRedMiata · 07-16-2007, 08:30 PM

they're te-37s rolling on 40mm spacers.... lol so +2 offset all around. i get ZERO wobble at high speeds on the crappy freeways in reno

Dicker · 07-17-2007, 10:52 AM

your car needs mudflaps.

The90iestRedMiata · 07-17-2007, 12:03 PM

Same thing I did, but I made sure I was able to keep my rear tow hook

johndoe · 07-17-2007, 02:11 PM

on a side note is that satin or flat black on the finsh panel

coupeloop · 07-17-2007, 02:14 PM

wow that ish is HUGE!

slutz4 · 07-17-2007, 03:02 PM

like a semi gloss or something, i painted it almost a year ago.

my brother recently took off my old long style mudflaps, i was gunna try to fit them on and see if they would work out.

yea that sob is freaking huge, lol. i coulda went with a 2.5 inlet and like 3.5 inch tip ? or something, but i asked my friend and he told me to get l-spec one. (which stands for logen spec btw)

as for the sound clip, ill try to get one soon. car is down for upgrades and repairs. im waiting on a 90 degree silicon coupler to finish off the fmic, function7 oil drain for my turbo, and other random parts.

slevin · 07-19-2007, 06:37 PM

didn't wanna start a new thread so I'll update some goodies here = )

my monster new fmic

re-clocked turbo with new bracket = )

the way i SHOULD have done my oil drain when i first got my greddy kit...

oil,water, and boost gauges installed = )

53mm koyo and new ic pipes = )

and my new poochie = )

Callasports · 07-20-2007, 04:14 PM

Great MX5! & I think the way you did the bumper cut-out is very tasteful. I like the way it exposes the rear end and assorted brackets for viewing. And, I imagine that with your FI setup, most folks will only see the rear... =D>

kung fu jesus · 07-20-2007, 07:02 PM

looks good.

when i did the second turbo, i used a LOT of AN fittings. it was a bit more, but fark, it made eaverything much easier to install/remove and i never had to worry about the fittings and lines when they were in.

slevin · 07-21-2007, 03:18 AM

thank you good sirs. i do swear by an fittings now. they make everything so easy and i dont have to check in on the damn things all the time to see if their leaking.

It really is the best way to make the rear bumper look different and a little more aggressive look to it all in the comfort of your own garage

Here's one of our JDM bretheren with the same mod done:
