And this is what it looks like. eBay header, eBay resonator, and a repaired slightly rattly stock catback. Need to restore the tip, obviously, and the fitment is so slightly off but it’s nothing a pipe bender can’t fix when I get a new gasket to replace the garbage one that came with the manifold. In the mean time, I’m psyched because at this point the Miata is ready to truck on through the winter. All major mechanical issues have been taken care of, I no longer get dizzy from fumes leaking into the car, my tires won’t spontaneously explode, and the car no longer runs lean and idles rough, and I have a roll of clear plastic I’m about to go make a new rear window out of!

I don’t remember exactly how the Miata has it, but can’t you bend the hanger arm on the backbox until it moves the entire assembly over that last half an inch?

The hangers are already pulling it a fair bit to the left. I’d rather just bend the pipe and remove all of the mechanical stress on the system if possible.

Which Ebay header and resonator did you buy? How was fitment?

I’m in the market for a crappy Miata exhaust as well.

The cheapest I could find. I had to half-moon the outer bolt holes because fitment was garbage, but its alright other than that
