Could do with being louder/unsilenced, but other than that it is a well made part and easy to fit. It does require removing the rear ladder brace to route past the diff. I haven't had any clearance issues with the fitment either, plenty of space between the exhaust and other components.

Beautifully well made. It really seems a shame that it isn't that visible under the car because when you open that box it has some definite 'wow' factor about it. It seriously looks like it's been hand made by a master welder, the quality is that superb.Fitting was excellent, with included gaskets and bolts, although I would recommend buying some stainless bolts and nuts to match. It would be a shame to end up damaging this due to rusted bolts if it ever needed taking off.

Excellent piece of kit,fitted easily with stainless back box s1222. Usual excellent service from mx5 parts! Slightly deeper note to exhaust but not intrusive.

I am so glad I have finally gone for it and fitted this mid pipe. I've had just the S1222 back box on the car for a year, then I added a Pipercross Induction kit. But it's with this centre section that the sound has really transformed. It has a really low grumble which increases to an angry shout the higher the rpm,and when you let off the accelerator, it burbles beautifully. It is loud though, nowhere near P1 Impreza levels, but make no mistake, it definitely has that 'modded car' sound. It's no shrinking violet. But I love that. I never have the car stereo on now. I just listen to the tune of the exhaust and the growl of the induction. It's pretty addictive. In terms of performance increase, I don't know exactly. With a cat back exhaust system and an induction kit, perhaps it has improved a bit. It feels pretty peppy and responsive that's for sure. What I do know though, the car doesn't sound strained like it used to so I certainly enjoy a lot more whatever power it is producing. In terms of fitting: pretty simple really. I actually didn't have to take my chassis re-enforcement frame off. I was able to slip the old and new pipe through without issue at all. Because I was matching up the new pipe to a relatively new back box, the gasket supplied sealed that no problem. However, this type of gasket didn't create a tight seal from the cat to the new pipe and water started leaking out pretty badly. I had scrubbed the rust away but clearly it was still too far gone. I've used exhaust paste to fix it and should it start leaking again, (but hopefully not!) I have bought new exhaust compression gasket rings. Make sure also you do your research about the rear oxygen sensor and how best to remove it. If you do, the whole job should be a pretty quick and straightforward swap. And the result will be very satisfying.

Bought with the twin tail pipe, good quality sounds great and feels more revvy than the stock exhaust. required minor adjustment to fit, top marks to after sales support, fast response to mails and fast easy resolution to the issue i had.

Fitted the Stainless centre section and IL single exit back box to my 1.8 mk2.5, sounds great. Really sings at the top end and not too loud at low revs. Had to replace the exhaust mounts as it is very tight around the dif and it kept knocking.

Barry Stroud

What a sound! This, coupled with the SI222 back box, makes a lovely burble at idle and a fantastic roar at medium revs especially under load. The car accelerates a bit quicker too.It comes in a huge cardboard box.I had it fitted by a local garage for £45 and it took just 50 mins.It looks like it will hit the diff but it just clears...just!You'll need 1 round gasket ring (SI2083), which isn't supplied, for the cat flange and exhaust paste for the silencer flange even though a gasket should be enough.

Bought with the single stainless rear box (SI222). Delivery good - ordered just before the BH weekend and they arrived just after. Nice looking bits of kit, although the welding is far from the prettiest out there.All fits together nicely once offered up, although it did take a couple of attempts to get the gasket between the centre section and the rear box to seal all the way around. Once on, sounds lovely - quiet when cruising but a with a faint burble in the background. Gets louder when the fun pedal is pressed though, which is what you want.Would have been nice if there were some washers included with the nuts and bolts - they are only just bigger than the holes they go through. A couple of standard spiral wound gaskets would have also been useful too, as the flange on the cat had rusted quite a bit and the gaskets supplied are only useful when connecting brand new faces.Much better that the old pipe that was on there, but be prepared for some cutting and swearing to get the old one off!

Arrived the following day. Stabilizer bars have to be removed but the quality of the pipe work is first class. Fitted in conjunction with the ss back box. Sounds just right - slightly louder & deeper than the standard box, you hear the exhaust now not the engine but not too loud, Good kit :-)

Delivery Information - MX5 Parts

We understand that its really important for you to receive your goods in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. To ensure that we can deliver this we have developed a strategic partnership with both the Royal Mail and our courier partner, Think Worldwide.

At the present time, we only offer one delivery option ‘our carrier’. We will dispatch your goods with the most suitable carrier, for main land UK deliveries this is normally Royal Mail 1st class for packages weighing under 2kg and Think Worldwide for those that are over.

Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the consignment and the destination address. For UK mainland deliveries they start at £2.95 for a package weighing under 200g and rise to a MAXIMUM of £9.95 for a package weighing 2kg or over (EXCEPT very large bulky items that have an additional shipping surcharge added). The exact delivery cost will be clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery times are estimated at 1-3 working days by Royal Mail, and 1-2 working days by Think Worldwide for mainland UK addresses. If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, we will dispatch the same day. If you order after 3pm, we will try to dispatch the same day, but if we cant it will be the next working day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be dispatched Monday. Items dispatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be dispatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t dispatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised dispatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note, shipping times are an estimate, and can not be guaranteed. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

Please send it somewhere it can be reliably signed for, like your place of work, a neighbour, or perhaps your grans. We can (but we don’t like to) ask the courier to leave your parcel without a signature. If we do this, it will be YOUR responsibility if the parcel is lost or damaged. If you want it left, you need to give us your express instructions in the ‘additional information’ box at the end of the checkout process. It would be helpful if you could also indicate exactly where the package should be left.

If you need to change your delivery address, for any packages that have been dispatched with Think Worldwide, there will be an additional charge of £9.95 if the package has already been dispatched.

Please remember, even with Royal Mail deliveries, that any items which are too large to fit through your letter box will need someone to be available to receive the delivery.

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day .

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.
