My MX-5 Modifications

I made some minor modifications to my previous car, a 1992/1993 MX-5 SE and this page has some more detail about them.

Flyin' Miata Single Exhaust
Made by Thermal Research for Flyin' Miata this single-exit exhaust is made from stainless steel, with this version for normally aspiritated cars having a resonated mid-pipe so it's just nicely loud instead of ear splitting! The exhaust has been on the car for a few months now, so it's not at its cleanest.

Racing Beat 4-1 Exhaust Header
This stainless steel exhaust header is made by Racing Beat. Traditional tri-y headers are usually stronger in the midrange, with 4-1 headers being stronger at the top end. With this header Racing Beat set out to create a 4-1 header that had the top end power gains of the 4-1 header but retained the strength of a tri-y header in the midrange. It looks beautiful, and bronzes nicely after use. The matt looking portion in the photo on one of the tubes is just a trick of the light where a patch of direct sunlight is falling on the exhaust.

Jackson Racing CAI
The stock air box and air filter naturally restrict the air flow into the engine a bit, and they also sit near the exhaust header and so tend to draw in warm air. This intake, by Jackson Racing, draws cooler air from in front of the radiator and also provides a shorter intake path and higher flow air filter to minimise restriction on the air flow. Additionally because of the position of the intake, when the car is moving there will be some air pressure which will further help air flow through to the engine. It replaces all of the intake plumbing up to the throttle body, except for the Air Flow Meter which is retained and relocated.
