A quick request for information on all those of you that have put a v8 into your MX-5, just wondering what you did about the muffler at the back. Have you gone a 8 into 2 into 1 system, or running two separate rear mufflers at the back.
I am knocking around the idea of getting the following thrown in with the other gear that I am bringing from the US, but don't know if there is a better solution this side of the ditch (and hopefully cheaper)
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

(only looking at the rear muffler in the pic, not the whole system, rear is $499US and is 3")

Have a talk to Gavin at Al's Mufflers in Glenfield. Very helpful and very knowledgable. He can probably source all the bits you need locally without having to pay the freight from the US.

ditto on the Al's muffler's recommendation - he's done nice work with both the mx5 and the v8.
Most (all?) v8's seem to have a dual outlet with an X or H crossover pipe halfway down so I'd probably stick to that, on mine it's a euro-style concealed turndown (stock) so it's definitely not aesthetics related !
... Perhaps its noise related ... a single 3" exit would prob be lighter but louder than say a dual 2" ..!
