Good-Win Roadstersport Race Exhaust On NA Mazda Miata 1.8 Video
Here's a Good-Win RoadsterSport Race exhaust installed on a 1995 (NA) Mazda Miata 1.8L. It's a full catback including a non-resonated, stainless midpipe and stainless muffler with 3.5" double wall tip. The exhaust is fully broken in and warmed up (can be buzzy/raspy when cold). The only other modification on this car is a Racing Beat elbow intake. So enjoy - I know I will.
My 94 was doing a knocking noise on start-up, I bought some engine treatment (Rislone brand, yellow bottle) that took care of it, I think it was a sticky lifter.. I would do the same, its worth a shot!!
Grandfather just gave me a '90 that he fixed after paying $200 for it, the thing is in great condition and running beautifully, it has the DOHC on it and, it sounds alot like this video.
Magnaflow makes really good exhaust systems that give a nice low hum. Its not an annoying hum. Easy simple installation, great warrenties, ect.

my car has about 105K miles. its a 99 5spd. i think the last owner BEAT the crap out of the car. is it possible that my engine is failing? because, i can hear a rod-knocking-ish sound at 2.7-3K rpm in 1st and 2nd. not really on third and up though.
hey, great info. but, are there any other trouble spots? my miata (1999) is acting up. i know there is a leak (seeping). but when i drive up to 2.7-3K rpm in 1st and 2nd gear, it kind of makes a knocking-ish sound. doesnt happen in 3rd and up though... and when i clutch in, it kind of makes a clunking noise... (a bit crunchy on the clutch too). any idea what the problem can be?
No offence,but it sounds like a chain saw! I have a 2003 with factory exhaust and would like to give it a deeper growl not a chain saw noise any suggestions?
if the owner seems like an enthusiast chances are the car is in good shape..most miata drive train will easily do a full 200 000 miles without any hicups, as long as the car is maintained...that being said..i've seen a few that were beaten up quite badly with relatively low miles thanks to incumbent owners..u should inspect the car and its owner before u decide to make the investment.
Hey buddy, nice sound. Very nice sound! I have a 2001 N/A Miata with a Borla "Sport"
dual tip exhaust and a K&N CAI. I was looking into a Goodwin-Racing RoadsterSport mid-pipe
and a Jackson Racing 4-into-1 header to complete the exhaust. But i'm worried because my car sounds bad as hell right now and have been told by a number of people @ work that a header on my car would make it sound like "ass". Any suggestions?? Please reply, man! Thanks : )
The Miata is a very durable and excellent car, even with higher miles on it. As long as someone takes good care of the car and performs the needed maintenance when it's due, then the car will last a very long time. Just make sure you check out trouble spots... valve cover gasket for oil leaks, CAS o ring for leaks, leaks in plastic top of the radiator, clutch performance, brakes, all that stuff.
