Week 1 update:
Love the exhaust. At a steady cruise it's unobtrusive. Put your foot into it in the turbo band and I love the way it sounds. I have experienced zero symptoms of turbo creep even without porting the waste gate. (Thank god... just something I don't have time for right now.)

For a daily driver, I am very satisfied.

Anyone in the Buffalo NY area that'd like to check it out let me know. As close to plug and play as I could imagine. No silly clamps - all bolted together and feels very secure. One factory hanger was not used, and I assume it's because of how you have to get it around the rear end of the car.... if it was welded on, you'd never get it out. I was going to take it to the same shop that I had replace the turbo manifold studs, but haven't bothered yet as it doesn't seem to really need it. Entire assembly seems very robust. (They'd just have to weld on a rod to attach to factory rubber hanger. Assume cost if I'd want it done to be negligible.)

I'd say it seems my car revs a bit freer, but I really haven't owned the car long enough to state that for sure so can't comment on any performance gains. However, she SOUNDS faster! ;)

Thanks again for a quality product at a fair price!

Gaz if you have faceebook post on the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri Group that you make exhaust systems you should get some bites there.
Im currently saving money for my build, and I plan on buying a blown turbo so i can send it to you so I can get a downpipe and exhaust built.

Good thinking!

When you say blown turbo, are you referring to something that's different? Different than our vj11?

Word up! Does it bolt up to the stock manifold?

Nope it bolts up to a t3 manifold though. You can get those pretty cheap from most Miata aftermarket places. I wouldnt really switch to it on these engines because the spool would take forever.

I would need to know which manifold you'll be using for it, then. Can't accurately build much of anything without it.

    Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I just started work full time. By the end of next month ill have a GTX so ill be swapping in the stock GTX/XR-2 bits in, after I buy a Festiva or something cheap.
   I dont plan on doing the BP swap for another couple months, once I figure out what manifold ill use ill make sure to post a pic of it on here.
