I bought a universal 24" long stainless silencer for about £50 from http://www.mijexhaust.com/ which was really good quality and my MX5 engine is very quiet as well. They are on ebay as well but featured on Carr SOS when they replicated a Fiat exhaust in stainless

Hello Richard,

Where did you get the silencer from that you have mentioned above, did it comes with the 90 degree rolled end to turn the fumes away from the rear arch.

Many thanks

Oh right that makes sense I looked on the site but was looking for a complete unit rather than separate components. Many thanks
