Racing Beat Power Pulse cat-back

What do you guys think of it?

I'm planning on a whole bunch of upgrades including:

Flyin Miata AFCOs with V8Roadster control arms, FM anti-roll bars and
their butterfly brace.

Because I've got this upcoming trip down to California with the GF.

It's gonna be a fast trip?
Anyway, I hope the roads are smooth!

Well... ...that depends on your definition, I guess. I'm headed down
there to take the Skip Barber open wheel course at Laguna Seca.

Why? Do you think the car will be unacceptably harsh riding?

It IS a Miata isn't it? <G>

More than suspension mods you'll need a stack of credit cards because
of this:

"with the GF"

Those things can be VERY costly (but sometimes worth every penny!)

Have a great trip, watch out for idiots, drunks and cops.

I know this is an ancient post, but I just ordered a set of these:
http://fatcatmotorsports.com/FCM_Bil...alve_NA_NB.htm

I filled out the questionnaire on the website and the next day I got a
call from Shaikh. What kind of driving do you do? Where are you on the
ride vs handling spectrum? He ended up suggesting something between the
GT and sport package.

I'm really looking forward to getting them. So the caveat is there is a
4-6 week lead time on orders. He was upfront about it, so I knew that
going in. Small company, custom work, etc.

FCM has gotten good reviews on mazda-speed.com but I haven't read any
comparison reviews with other shocks such as the AFCOs. They're in
pretty much the same ballpark price-wise.

That ballpark is WAAAAAY out of my league, what do they have for
$19.95? <G>

In the end, I went with the AFCOs from Flyin' Miata and I'm just
starting to learn about them.
