interesting DP option
Anyone want to guinea pig the fitment of this along with the GT28 V-band discharge? Could be a good start to a very slick downpipe if it'll fit.

And I'm sure Wideopentuning would hook us up with a price on the two.
If I knew it would get past the firewall, I'd get it as I'm looking at upgrading my DP now.

It looks to me like that angle cut at the elbow/flex junction is aiming the exhaust right at the bottom curve of the flex pipe. Seems like that would make a mess of flow. There's probably $100 worth of parts there - surely somebody could weld one up for $75 and make it more flow/miata friendly? Nonetheless I enjoy ATPs products/site - innovative stuff.

It's too big as in no way it will fit, or as in, there's no need for 3 inch? I could argue it's too big, just as a 3 inch exhaust on a sub 300 whp Miata is too big, but why limit for future upgrades?

3" on a turbo car is never overkill. Those that say it is, don't like faster spool... or freeing up power.
Heck... I'd run bigger or none at all if it was practical (noise/smell)
I doubt a generic piece like that would fit our very specific application. Getting one made would be wiser.
BTW... someone buy my ATP gt28rs Vband adapter....

Clearance at the firewall ledge and by the tranny is the issue for it being too big.
I though neogenisis bought that Vband adapter? Didn't yours have like 10 bolt holes? Are there different T28 outlet patterns?

No, the HKS manifold is top mount, like a greddy. https://www.miataturbo.net/forums/vb...do=view&id=597

I think 3" on anything over 200 hp is great. i "believe" it helps spool. But it should be a smoother transition. like mentioned here and there the magic number is 11° divergent angle at the outlet.
So that's like 2.5 or so inches of expansion from 2.5 to 3" and then it's cool.
I tried to do that on mine but I'll be damned if the whole thing ended up even with the firewall.
Find me a 2.5 to 3" expanding 90 and we're talkin!

I think Braineack's solid pipe version will work. Not a very cost effective route to take though. You're close to 300 dollars with just top half of the downpipe and turbine flange. You still need to buy a v-mount clamp and figure out what to do with the lower half of your downpipe. You're probably better off having a local fab shop make you a downpipe.

I agree with Y8S that if you had an external WG, 3" at the turbo flange is not good. You want smooth long transitions from 2.25 (or whatever the turbine outlet diameter is) to whatever size your exhaust is...3" right?! This 3" DP was for a normal internally WG setup.
EDIT: OH, this pipe was done with Vibrant's 3" pipe, not ATP's awesome tight-radius 3" pipes. ******* horray for those.
