Well, hardly MX5 related. But more information about this man damnit you can't just offhandedly mention it.

If you haven't guessed, I worship XA/XB coupes.

Not worth getting anything aftermarket unless it is good quality japanese/american stuff. Anything stainless will probably break faster. The factory ones are good and make great power so just get them welded

They are ctacked in a prick of a spot, or else I would weild them myself.

Might for some 2nd hand HKS one fron Japan I think.

Nice! Love it in yellow. My father used to own a black XB coupe, had a 351 cleveland in it, went like stink. He also had a light blue XB Ute with a reconditioned 6, and my mother had a yellow XB wagon with a 6 as well.

I'm hoping to get one, but the way prices are going just for a shell these days.. Might have to pull one from Australia if I can.

Nice, I was going to go with a clevo, but is to orignal, and this six is a minter, when it idles, all you can hear is the fan and the carb sucking.

XA coupe... Wow...

Could always do what the boys at MCM did for a header for your turbo, total DIY.

Sorry I couldn't be any more help.

Let us know what you decide on!

I imagine for an N/A car you'd have to spend good money to match/exceed the OE extractors. I'd be inclined just to get replacement OE extractors, or some second hand aftermarket ones.
