Dual Exhaust - St Louis MO area

Aug 20, 2004 2 Replies

Greetings.



Appoligies to non-St Louisans for wasting your time.. just have a question for the locals..



I've heard thru the grapevine that there are several Miata owners in the St Louis area that have the FM Dual Exhaust. Unfortunately I've been too cheap to join the local club, so this seems to be the best forum for getting a question out. My 150,000 mi / 10 yr old stock muffler finally lost its integrity recently so I'm in the market for an upgrade. I was wonderring if anyone wouldn't mind "showing off" their muffler. I live in the Manchester area, but I'd be happy to drive across town to 'see before I buy'. I'm leaning toward the FM right now, but haven't ruled out Borla or Racing Beat yet.



My email is: scotthughes at writeme dot com (I don't check the msn email that this account is registered with) No point in bothering the other NG'ers.. so feel free to email me if you would like to help me out or know someone who might live close by who I could contact.

You might look at the dual outlet muffler that Brainstorm sells. I've had one for about 9 months and am pleased with it. It is black powder coated and thus doesn't stand out under the car. The tone is a little deeper and more mellow than others I've heard. This is actually my second BSP dual - had one on my '98, too. This one is a little louder. While I don't mind it, my neighbor says he can tell when I'm coming home. The one on the '98 wasn't as loud.

Randy,

It looks like the Brainstorm product is cheaper than the FM.. but the site doesn't have very good pics or description of the product. Is the BSP a catback or just the muffler? I have an M1 ('94), I forget if the 98 model year was an M1 or M2 style (they skipped 98 here in the states).. and I assume your current Miata is newer and therefore an M2?
