I'm going with a 3" DP, 3" exhaust to a 30" long body, 6" round muffler and 3,5" exhaust tip on each side of the rear bumper.
What do you guys think about this?

WHat kind of I/C pipes should I use?
my turbo has a 2.5" outlet, my intercooler has 2.5 or 3" I/O. what should I do? 2.5 hotside, 3" coldside? I have a 4" inlet on my throttle body which actually is a 75mm (3") TB.

Chad is always right about my car...
UPDATE!!!!! Finally something going on with my car.
I got rid of the subframes... who needs them? FM said that they make miatas fly so I hope mine will...
THe control arms went out to powder coating (GUNMETAL ish).
So i need new ball-joints (where to order them from??), I ordered FM adjustable bushings (lol). Stance Coilovers, Walbro 225lph HP, Fuel Lab FPR, ACL bearings (i can't find a place that carries Clevite around my place and ACL is supposedly better) - these things are being ordered on teh 13th.

UPDATE!!!
I got my control arms back... they have the Super Pro Adjustable bushings from FM. The subframes are painted black using Rust Bullet - 4 layers.
Now I just need some spare time and a few more parts (turbo, WG, a different I/C) and I should be able to put the car back together....
Spare time? haha this is the biggest problem.
I'll post photos of the control arms and subframes later today
