94 1.8 cat?
Sorry have searched but am a bit 'tarded. Just got a 94 1.8 eunos roadster, my first mx-5, its awesome! Obviously tires are a go first, got quoted 190 fitted for bridgestones re001 from tonys. Does my car have a cat? If so have people just hacked it out and gone for a straight bit of pipe through there, can't afford a new exhaust at the moment, also what induction kits are people using and which has the best bang-for-buck,
cheers

Just ripping out the cat on the stock exhaust won't do much besides mean you might not get a WOF your better off saving and getting some headers and a nice free flow exhaust or 2.5" straight pipe
As for the intake just get a pod filter does the same job as any other more expensive intake
just get a 90* bend attach the maf and pod then your good to go
Heres a pic

A whole new exhaust will sound different...just removing the cat made my NA slightly louder.Minor improvement in performance but mostly in the mind! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Just take the cat out and put an expansion box in its place...it will be fine.gazthedoc wrote:Sorry have searched but am a bit 'tarded. Just got a 94 1.8 eunos roadster, my first mx-5, its awesome!

Just get a fab shop like these guys to make you a header

then just straight pipe with a resonator and it'll sound sweet
