It came from Racing Beat Inc. in CA...I didn't ordered the catback. My brother inlaw have discount with RB 'cuz he was heavily into Miata so he and my wife got together and gave a surprise late xmas present...I was shocked to see the box in the door way when got home from work.

It is beautiful...didn't want to install it so fast...oh well!

I love mine. The fitment is perfect. You won't have any problems installing it unless someone removed the rear hanger installing another aftermarket cat.

I also love the sound...like you said...quiet at idle...but when you open it up.......

oh man installation was so freaking smooth, 30 minutes to drop the old exhaust and about another 30 minutes for new one. I protected the shinny muffler with couple thin layer of saran wrap.

I kinda hope it will sound similar to my Titan which has full 3" exhaust from factory, nice and quiet at idle but when open up it sound throaty. So far it's worth every penny.

Time to monitor the boost gauge...if it stay at 10-11 psi the PFC might end up for sale...

I noticed that my RB catback got a little louder after several hundred miles, but it is still fairly quiet at idle or cruise.
