Our flat floor debuted at Road Atlanta and it was a success (1st overall out of 84) however, long term we are going to eat transmissions and differentials due to the heat. This is for an endurance racing application and we got lucky with really cold temps at RA. I've gotten tech approval for a side mounted exhaust and plan to route it around the steering column, and out the driver side fender along the side of the car. I found a thread that mentions another thread about this topic, but I can not find it.
Has anyone done this? We have a JDM 4-2-1 that we could modify for this routing or we could make a custom header. Currently we run a RB4-1 Header, however if we move to the JDM header, we get our points back and can use it for a SKUNK2. We believe this will off-set any power losses.
Seriously doubt that you’ll get an exhaust and a front wheel in the driver fender at the same time functionally. I think you’ll have to run under the car
I am aware of that there will be a decent amount of work. I already have about 40 hours into the flat floor. I am interested in seeing more about HOW people have done it and what were the challenges. Ryan's write-up is a big help. Is he the only one who has done this?
Something to realize about Ryan's is that he also only has one tube coming off the head vs a header/manifold coming off of the miata head. That makes it a bit "easier"

So the OP needs to swap LFX or LSX to be a cool kid. Seems easy enough.
