Does your midpipe connect to the SQTT without any gap ? I have this exhaust and it doesn’t fully connect without a small gap. Had multiple shops look At it. I’m referring to where the gasket/flange connect with the midpipe
Great comparison. The GWR SS really comes alive and sounds sportier at the higher revs and open throttle runs. Its designed to be quieter and less bassy at the lower revs. Factoring in the pricier costs of the JDL header and the Remark exhaust, the GWR axel back options are tremendous value and a fraction of the cost like 1/5th of the Remark/JDL combo. Also the GWR roadster sport Race is louder, more aggressive and cheaper.
I have a 2021 MX-5 GT and I'm looking for a more aggressive sound during acceleration, but I'm not a fan of highway drone, especially since the soft top already lets tons of noise in. I just want nice sounding acceleration, but with minimal cruising drone.
Great video guys! I went with Borla exhaust for my 2022 MX-5.. just took the car back to shop to put on the stock exhaust back. Borla sounds amazing on cold start and when driving hard but even at cruising speeds the drone on it gave me headaches and got annoying after two weeks. I went with Borla because I had 2022 Mustang GT that came with Borla active exhaust and it sounded like a dream, so I thought Borla’s product would work great here as well. Bit too loud for my taste, you know it’s too loud when cars behind you slow down to keep a longer distance. I’ll keep searching for a better option.
Fantastic video! I think the Remark sounds throatier and a touch louder. I have the JDL 4-1 header and the JDL midpipe and muffler sitting in my garage. I need to install them!
Damn this is a hard choice. The remark definitely has the cleaner tone. And i honestly think it's quiter than the ss. But i like the sound of the ss and i like loud
I had a cadillac cts, but sold it because of gas mileage was not so acceptable. So went to get a low mileage 2010 E92 no turbo, 60,000 miles from a older gentleman who could no longer drive the car. He was the original owner of the car. It was parked in the garage for 8 month's..I changed the oil, plugs, Trans fluid, ect. because reading a lot of tyings about the BMW the 328i is the ticket, the one. And they were right this car, I said this car runs just great and it's pretty fast. Anyway thanks bud. You should try one lowered. High-performance machine..!
Very through and well done video on the three exhaust systems. I've got a RF and I'm debating which exhaust to throw on her. I've been going back and forth between the Greddy, and the Remark. I like the deep exhaust note the Remark puts out. Thanks for the video.
Remark wins hands down. Stock is cheap sounding, SS is wayyy too extreme, sound like a v8 which isn't characteristic of it's small size. The Remark captures that quintessential small sporty car you'd see in a 1950s James Bond movie. Humble but intimidating, like something serious is under the hood. I love how miata's feign this but they still outperforming most super-cars in "drive-ability" (able to daily, comfort, fun-factor). #slowcarfast
You neglected to include the driving environment that makes a lot of people regret buying an aftermarket pipe: Cruising at 70, top up, on the freeway, around 3000 rpm. Is the replacement pipe resonating loudly during your daily commute? Or is it droning? Either is too high a price to pay for the opportunity to impress strangers with your sporty pipe.
@default Im doubtful on the no drone . I cant tell you how many times i heard that claim made . This is my first miata ( nd) but i had about 11 mustangs and every time someone claimed no drone there definitely was. Maybe "not as bad as you would think"......
This has truly strengthened my resolve on getting a newer Miata I loved my 2000 NB Miata I had full custom exhaust made that sounded great outside of the headers being stock.
So wait, was GWR SSST also with the JDL Header or was it stock midpipe AND stock header? I ask cause this is the first video I've seen saying the GWR SSST has drone and was wondering if that's just with the axle-back or in combination with those headers. Great video! Very helpful!
@@JetFuelOnly Thanks for getting back to me. I guess that's where the drone's coming from with the SSST. Still though, the sound it makes at 07:48 is fantastic!
I think you have your remark and SS setups switched throughout the video. Remark only makes a single tip and the SS has a dual tip. Unless Remarks older exhaust had dual?
I got a 2020 Nd was thinking what to do to make my lil puppy louder, originally was thinking about doing a muffler delete but still unsure... thanks for any tips and advice!
It seems this car wouldn't need to hang so much in like 3rd going up a hill. Obviously if you drive like that any car will sound loud. Whatever exhaust people put on these, the single pipe looks shit and should stick to the twin as per what they come with,. Suits the car much better. The Remark sounds the best.
Does anyone know where I can get a vid of inside the car at highway speeds w/ the top up? I'd like to see how the SS sounds at 65mph, 75mph etc for long commutes.
No, the owner didn’t do that. But it’s been a couple years now and I was speaking to him the other day. He said he had a chance to drive someone else’s car and there was a clear difference but he couldn’t feel it when it was first done.
Thanks for this review... i am curios as to what model the Remark exhaust is.... the one I saw in their website is a single pipe outlet version for the ND
No. A cat-back exhaust means from the catalytic converter to the back of the car. The cat is the emissions element and what you don’t want to mess with if that’s what you are worried about (also illegal in many states). An axle back is an exhaust mod that starts at approx the rear axle which is even farther from the car (which is located just behind the front axle area usually).
Great video. Do you know why is says applicable only up to 2020? Has the oem axle back changed in 2021? I have a 2023 and would like to be sure what fits. My muffler looks identical to the one in your video, but some items for the ND1 seem to not fit the ND2... Anyone know the differences?
Are you reading that on the website or did we say it? If you are reading it - Vince and I haven’t been keeping up on changes to the model since the video so you might want to ask the seller.
@@JetFuelOnly thank you! Did you have to roll or pull the fenders to make those fit? Or was that camber enough to avoid rubbing? Do you have a video that goes over suspension mods? That would be cool. Thank you
@@YetTheory You only need to roll the rear fenders to get 245s to fit but you’ll also need a lot of camber. If you don’t want to run a lot of camber I’d stick with 225s or 235 max.
@@JetFuelOnly No doubt...At low speed and low RPM the aftermarket exhausts definitely sound better, but as soon as you accelerate and get to highway speed they become annoying. I'd much rather hear my music than listen to the drone of a 4 cylinder. These cars have enough road noise; adding a constant fart sounding, drone is not appealing in any way. Now a V-8 is a completely different thing, although one has to consider others when building their engines and exhausts. There are far too many people with loud exhausts and I don't need to be one of those. Loud Harley's and kids with four bangers seem to be the least aware of the disturbance they cause, more so than anybody else. Installing a loud exhaust doesn't make your car a race car, it's not appealing to most folks and it does not help your resale value; in fact it can make your car hard to sell or trade in and can drive down resale value.
after 3:00 the audio quality took a nose dive. everything got super muffled and muted. was this edited in or your microphone rig? (listening on a pair of Kanto TUK's)
Snatched the 666:th Like! lol.. Thanks for the video! Thiz thing sounds MEAN after that swap! GTI Clubsport owner here, and what lead me to RUclips thiz was standing next to a Miata MX5 on the parking lot today.. Really pretty car, but aparently owners wife jumpd abit when i started mine. Got me thinking, that Miata really BEGS for aftermarket exhaust! Were building a custom exhaust this spring! So im at the brittish Cobra Sport Catback at the moment, and the plan is to mate it with the German Bull-X EGO downpipe with HJS cat... What you think of that Combo..? Check the Clubsport on my channel! Cheerz👍
No, not quieter over all but quieter than the setup we finished with in the video. He has a whole new exhaust that he’s very happy with including the header
Slam it slap a fat turbo on it cut a hole in the hood for the exhaust and make your neighbors hate you. Maybe add every kind of sticker you can get your hands on?
Great sarcasm, but you are barking up the wrong tree. This owner isn't into it like that, he's actually a very skilled driver that hates excessive mods.
Haha you are watching RUclips videos on Miata exhaust… what sound do you expect? No there really wasn’t much drone, but he has changed to a different combo that’s a little quieter.

Dang this was a very thorough overview of the sound between all three setups! Great cinematography
Thank you!
Facts
SS muffler and stock midpipe sounded best every time
It was definitely the loudest.
The Remark exhaust sounds awesome, thank you for the video comparison 🤙🏼
I went with the Goodwin SQTT. Pretty tame but gives it some character. Probably twice as loud as stock. It is beautifully built!
Does your midpipe connect to the SQTT without any gap ? I have this exhaust and it doesn’t fully connect without a small gap. Had multiple shops look At it. I’m referring to where the gasket/flange connect with the midpipe

I'm digging the full remark exhaust

That deep drone turns into a pain in the long run.

4:00 not bad ay
Yes I enjoyed your video immensely it was very good editing, keep up the good work, and keep them coming
Thank you
Full system sounds 💪💪💪
Oh! Some great sounds and tones! Nice work. :)
From this video, I'd say the Remark takes it. Subtle enough under light load/idle without too much drone.

Is the replacement pipe resonating loudly during your daily commute? Or is it droning? Either is too high a price to pay for the opportunity to impress strangers with your sporty pipe.
The owner went back to stock for the most part but is considering another system.
I agree , i feel like these cars are terrible with drone. I wish i could just get a stock sounding system with dual pipes.....
@default Im doubtful on the no drone . I cant tell you how many times i heard that claim made . This is my first miata ( nd) but i had about 11 mustangs and every time someone claimed no drone there definitely was. Maybe "not as bad as you would think"......
@default Wouldn't that restrict airflow ? It did on my 2019 mustang
@default Your probably right. Although if mine wasn't a lease i would use the money for a clear bra and some PS4s .
nice video. thank you.
Straight up..thanks fellas
This has truly strengthened my resolve on getting a newer Miata I loved my 2000 NB Miata I had full custom exhaust made that sounded great outside of the headers being stock.
Coming from a guy who had a 2000 I definitely recommend the nd2s. The extra 40 horsepower goes crazy haha

Yes stock midpipe with the Goodwin racing muffler. JDL header all situations
great content making channel love the videos you bring
The title of this video threw me off. This is an ND2 Miata but you titled it ND. Excellent video regardless.
You are right. I need to change it. Thanks!
ND generally refers to the platform/generation (both the ND1 and ND2).
Great vids - keep them coming.
I think you have your remark and SS setups switched throughout the video. Remark only makes a single tip and the SS has a dual tip.
Unless Remarks older exhaust had dual?

Stock is my favorite
Stealth mode 🤫
plus you hear the naturally aspirated engine more instead of the silly exhaust
Great video, ... so when you tested the SS, is that with no mods in the headers? I mean, 100% stocck, except for the GRW SS?
Headers were on throughout the video.
@@JetFuelOnly OK, thanks!
I like the Remark.
sounds awesome!!
That remark exhaust sounds like a Honda VTEC
Awesome content and well made vid. Subscribed w bell notifications.
Thank you!!!
@@JetFuelOnly did the SSST have a the JBL header on with the stock midpipe or was it all stock after the axleback?
It seems this car wouldn't need to hang so much in like 3rd going up a hill. Obviously if you drive like that any car will sound loud. Whatever exhaust people put on these, the single pipe looks shit and should stick to the twin as per what they come with,. Suits the car much better. The Remark sounds the best.
Good comparison
Can you comment on performance gain with each setup?
Its almost always going to be a performance decrease when it comes to modifying exausts.
The ss sounded the best 2 me
awesome video
Does anyone know where I can get a vid of inside the car at highway speeds w/ the top up? I'd like to see how the SS sounds at 65mph, 75mph etc for long commutes.
Did you put the car on a dyno to see what performance increases were achieved by each exhaust system?
No, the owner didn’t do that. But it’s been a couple years now and I was speaking to him the other day. He said he had a chance to drive someone else’s car and there was a clear difference but he couldn’t feel it when it was first done.
