Recommended After-Market Exhaust?

Feb 07, 2005 5 Replies

I have a silver '02 and looking for a more "throaty" sound. Any recommended after-market slipon's?



Thanks,


I would recommend choosing from Borla, Borla, and Borla. The best sound going, since my first Alfa in 1964. 8;)

Yep, I recommend the Borla too.

I had mine replaced after the company that transpored my Miata somehow managed to bend the original muffler. I was not looking for a throatier sound but the local mazda garage put on a Borla, and when I asked why they did not replace with a factory original, they insisted it was the recommended muffler. It's main chamber/box does seem to hang down a little more than the original and can be seen quite clearly from the rear. Anyway, I accepted the Borla and it does sound a little bit throatier than the original, but thankfully not so much that it sound like a "riceboy" machine with a baked bean can stuck on the end of the muffler. The Borla also has a nice polished tailpipe so it looks a little nicer too (in my opinion anyway).

Well no wonder they get a bad exhaust sound with a baked bean can. Every knows your suppost to use a coffee can! duh...

I've been really happy with an Enthuza M2 Speeder, which is based on a Borla Pro series stainless steel muffler. Bolted on in less that 15 minutes, considerably lighter than the stock muffler, and has a very nice exhaust note that isn't too loud.

I neglected to mention - I have an '02 SE.
