Installed the RoadsterSport Super-Q Exhaust Tonight!

So we FINALLY got around to installing the RoadsterSport Super-Q tuneable exhaust on the MX-5.

The install took about an hour altogether.  The hardest part was removing the two 14mm bolts on the stock exhaust.  They were on there pretty good after 30k miles :)

Removing the stock muffler from the hangars was the next challenge.  The OEM hangars have a knob on the end which is great for keeping parts on the hangar, but it's great at keeping the part ON the hangar!  LOL  So after about 20 minutes, we finally eased it down.

Installation was a breeze, 4 non-knob hangars lubed up with Dawn soap was 3 minutes, two bolts torqued to 27ft-lbs and it was done!

Seriously nice fit and finish on this exhaust.  It adds a deeper tone than the stock exhaust and there is ZERO drone which is awesome!  I'm sure over time the setup will tune a bit more as most exhaust systems do.



I uploaded a fun video, the first part is without the stock muffler at all - it's pretty fun. The second part of the video is the exhaust with the resonators installed...


I ended up removing the resonators to induce a bit more sound, but it's still very civilized and sporty sounding.  Highly recommended!
