     Nedim, 
     
     Don't you mean to say that the HKS exhaust really "blows" instead of 
     "sucks?"  Seriously, I can be a true faith witness to the quality and 
     the complete attention to detail that truly is the Jackson Racing 
     Exhaust system.  Magnificent.  Its a shame you have to mount the damn 
     thing *underneath* the car!  Exhaust note is very similar to stock at 
     an idle, but sounds very much like an E-Type Jag (a "new" one) when it 
     revs up.  For those with "exhaust pipe envy" the Jackson has a 4" inch 
     diameter tip.
     
     I've heard from everyone that ever responded to my queries about the 
     cold air that it does indeed give 10-15 more horses.  *This* is what 
     you need to make your car really "suck!"

                   I was wondering what people have found as the best exaust
for the money. Right now I have a HKS exaust and a Rod  Millen header. While 
I really like the ceramic header from Rod Millen, the HKS exaust really 
sucks. I got it about 2 yrs ago and ever since the day I put it on I have 
regreted it. It provided a minimal gain in power,(not that I was expecting 
much) yet what I really disliked was that it has muted my once beautiful 
sounding Miata. While I don't want a car that is too loud to drive for a 
hour straight, I do want somthing that is a bit louder than stock.    I' ve 
heard various things about Borla and I think Jackson Racing????? Also I am 
considering a cold air box from Jackson Racing and was wondering if it gives 
the true 10-15 hp.Also does it takes any power away from the lower part or 
the rev range, being that I have a 1.6 motor I need all the torque that I 
can get
     
     
                                             Thanks in advance,
