Have you had any more feedback about fitment on LHD cars since adding the push type? I just ordered the plastic push type for my LHD ND2 so hopefully it will work well. I saw in your other comment that as of a few months ago there were no complaints as of then. I was going to pay for the better looking OEM type hose, but honestly I'm liking the sound from the budget hose more in these clips. I was also going to buy the aluminum push type too, but it's a piece that will basically never be seen and I'm trying to keep this cheaper since it's shipping to the US. Thanks for offering this! I've been interested since the first video you posted about this.
cool, also an elise owner? where's the link to your store? just the different materials on the ends have noticeable difference in audio signature? how do the OEM-style compare to modifying the stock sound tube? any links to feedback from the mx5 miata community?
I used to be yes! Had about 5 over my time, however the mx I can just drive without the need or rebuilding it each time... haha.. I'm working on a store for the things I make, however for now you can buy direct from me or go on Ebay. As for the sounds, I think the oem style sounds more throttle body, the plastic ends sound fake. I've had the oem style on for about 2 years and I grin every time I drive.. As from the mx5 community, this went worldwide on there a year ago, which gave me a massive buzz. I've seen people say best mod for little money.. but... that's just me.. haha... cheers!
Hi, thanks, I don't have an ebay store either, haha, seems like I need to up my game... I've added a load of text to the details on the video now, and renamed it, they email and ebay address are in there. Bluenokesy is my ebay name. Cheers
Interesting - the budget pipe seems a little raspier on the recording...in real life, is there much of a sound difference between the pipe variations? And is this ok from a mechanical perspective? Seems like its blocking something that was previosly free flowing.
Hi, thanks for the message, the stock sound tube has a gasket internally that stops the flow and on the vehicles that don't have a stock sound tube, these have a block there, so no, not blocking anything. In real life terms, I personally prefer the other tube and metal ends, as the others sound too fake to me, however its a completely personal choice. There is definitely a sound difference in real life too. Is what ok from the mechanical perspective? the assembly or the budget pipe? I have been running a oem type with metal screw in end for over 2 years with no issues. Hope that helps. :)
@@davedoesit Thanks for the response! You answered my "mechanical" question which was pertaining to the flow. When you say you prefer the "other" tube, I assume you're saying you prefer the OEM style tube? Thanks for putting this kit together. Great timesaver for folks who don't want to spend hours tinkering and refining. I just gotta decide which tube for me and then I'll be ordering the no-nut LHD version for use in the USA!
I do prefer the oem style pipe personally, however I had to offer a budget version as someone else is selling that style. Funnily enough, not sold one yet tho!
@@davedoesit unfortunately, it doesn't look like you ship to Pennsylvania, US. So perhaps I do have to spend hours tinkering...or find this copycat ebay listing :(
@@andrewyeung7317 Apologies eBay has been a complete Pain in my A over the last week, something changed and my listing became a violation, now it's taken global shipping off... geese. I have put it back on now, let me know if it's not there. However, I have shipped to USA many times, so should be sorted. If you want to buy direct from me though, if it's cheaper, shipping is normally £14-18. All the best.
Hi, Thanks for your message, I have had 2 messages to say they struggled with fitting the nut to the LHD car, so I have designed a "push" in one. Not had any other complaints from the 100 kits Ive sold. Hope that helps!
Hey there Dave, I sent you a Message on Ebay, I would like to buy, but I own a 2017 1.5L ND Left-Hand drive with OEM-Soundtube for the Norwegian market?? Listening to the sound clips, I hear slight differences in tone/and artifacts or vibrations tranferring?? I prefer some of the cheaper option soundclips, *and your favorite Metal-adapter with a nut and oem pipe combo*?? Can you please Listen to the clips again? and please tell us, that it is the recording thats done or a not completely perfectly mounted pipe that screwed up the results somehow? Thanks in advance! You see I don't want *metal-ratteling sounds* transferred into cabin YUCK.. My 1st. choice for my 1.5L LHD car was the quality option with metal push-in adapter and OEM style pipe! but not now I am a bit uncertain "because of those rattling sounds" in some of the soundclips? Please advice?? Thanks RedMX5NorwayGuy
Hi, thanks for the message. Interesting... so the metal push in one is pushed into a rubber grommet, so is isolated. I'm not sure what rattling sounds you heard, however, I've got hard suspension, uprated arb, diff mounts and chassis braces. I also think I have a clunk from my suspension I can't find... however, for these videos the screw in adaptors weren't bolted down, the rest should were as fitted.. hope thar helps.. cheers
Dave Hmm , that's kind of intriguing? 😮 I Wish I could use *your favorite combo* 🤔 But because of the no need to use threaded nut due to dashboard access issues I am uncertain? 😯😳 The aluminium push in adapter and OEM style pipe Is probably the best solution, if it has a rubber-grommet between the chassis,and push-in adapter? is it mostly plug and play the rest of the install? Are there any revisions to the rubber glove solution? Is it a more engineered membrane cover now? With also a filter? Also the supplied supressor(sound reduction) does it sound the same just lower volume???? I have Goodwin Racing Roadstersport Super-street Single-Tip Exhaust, that will soon go on the car, and compliment its sound, so not sure if I will need to have the suppressor installed for the best soundballance??? 😂 I fear that my car will approch RACE-CAR volume next time I get everything installed.. Hopefully NOT, and it's a tolerable but kind of loud, atleast not stock/OEM.. 😅😅 Also, Could you please reply back on my Ebay message Dave?? Thanks in advance. 👍 Thanks RedMX5NorwayGuy
Hi Rune, I have replied on Ebay, strange if you haven't received it... if I were you, I'd go for the push in metal one. I attach a document on how to fit it, the oem part has a gasket on it, which I say peel off and add to this one, so extra protection there. Next fit this first before the exhaust to hear it, and as its a push in part, you can easily fit or remove the suppressor. I am envious of your exhaust, I wanted that one... The glove is long gone, a twin nitrile membrane is now stock and assembled, so you just fit the pipe and enjoy! Cheers!

I got a LHD model, has any of your LHD buyers reported success fitting your kits to their cars already?
Hi, Thanks for your message, I have had 2 messages to say they struggled with fitting the nut to the LHD car, so I have designed a "push" in one. Not had any other complaints from the 100 kits Ive sold. Hope that helps!
I bought a kit off you about 2 months ago but haven't gotten around to opening it yet, is install/kit largely the same?
Hi, Yes the kit is almost identical, just some new additions to the types. Get it installed, you'll love it!! Cheers...
Is there some sort of filter built in? Otherwise won’t unfiltered air from the cabin make it’s way into the intake?
Hi, there is yes!
