The MagnaFlow Street Series cat-back exhaust for the 2.0L Mazda MX-5 Miata is a complete stainless steel system that begins behind the factory catalytic converter and runs to the rear bumper. Its 2.5-inch mandrel-bent main piping is produced with CNC robotic manufacturing, and it ends in a dual split rear exit with two polished, angle-cut, folded-edge 3.5-inch tips. The manufacturer used extensive 3D scanning during development to achieve OEM-like fitment. Compared with the stock exhaust, the larger-diameter piping is designed to let exhaust gases leave the engine more freely. Against cheaper universal kits, the stainless construction and the manufacturer's lifetime construction warranty justify the price, and the sound is rated moderate outside and mild inside, so daily driving stays comfortable.
Shoppers searching for a 2006-2014 MX-5 Miata 2.0L cat-back, a stainless dual split rear Miata exhaust, or a 2.5 inch mandrel bent Miata exhaust will find this a direct-fit option. Because the system starts after the converter, the factory catalytic converter stays in place. Installation is clamp-on at the inlet, and the manufacturer states that hardware for a do-it-yourself install is included. The mounting bracket, however, is not included, so plan to reuse your factory hangers and inspect them before removing the old system.
The manufacturer lists this system for the 2.0L Mazda MX-5 Miata from 2006 through 2014. Trim-level coverage varies across fitment charts, so confirm your exact trim and VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer rates the sound as moderate on the exterior and mild on the interior.
The manufacturer provides a 1-year limited warranty on the finish and a limited lifetime warranty on the construction.
The manufacturer states that the kit includes the hardware needed for a do-it-yourself installation, and the clamp-on inlet makes the work a matter of unbolting the old system and fitting the new one. Because the mounting bracket is not included, inspect your factory hangers for cracks or rubber deterioration and replace them if needed. The manufacturer's spec lists gaskets as not included, so buy new inlet and joint gaskets along with a set of clamps or hangers if your old ones are worn. Use penetrating oil on rusted fasteners and support the exhaust while you work.
