Stainless Steel Exhaust, IL Motorsport Single Exit, MX5 Mk1


A high quality, German made, stainless steel replacement for the standard exhaust system. Runs from the cat-back. Standard pipe size and with a standard diameter, highly polished outlet pipe.
Note: now re-designed to ensure no problems with knocking as mentioned in some reviews!

Supplied complete with a fitting kit and a 5 year warranty.

fits all Mk1, 1.6 or 1.8 from 1989>1998

Please select the correct model. Cars from 1989>1996 (chassis number JMZ...308212) having either the 370 or 440mm cat need part NA0-0301
and cars from 1996>1998 (chassis number from JMZ....308212 onwards) having the 475mm cat will require part NA0-0302

If the date of manufacture of your car is near the change-over point, the safest way to ensure you order the correct system is to measure the distance between the two mounting flanges of your cat.

When first opening the box ( and it is a big box) I noticed how well it was packed, then when I first looked I thought some of the welds were not as good as they could have been ( me being fussy as, I have spent my life welding) then thought who is going to see it under the car. Once that was out of the way I stuck the car on stands and removed the old pipe from the original cat backwards it was then a ten minute job of fitting the new one which lined up perfectly and the tailpipe sat just right in the bumper exhaust cut out ( the tailpipe is slightly bigger than the standard pipe that came off but only by 10 mm or so, therefore it did not look boy racerish) next the road test on starting up it is a slight bit more throaty than the original and under normal driving it sounds just right with a sporty tone, if the car is driven very enthusiastic it then borders on being loud ( but normal driving and cruising it sounds in my opinion just how a sports car should sound) as said earlier in my review I fitted it from the original cat back and it was just how I wanted the sound to be but would imaging if it was used with a de-cat it could be loud, irritating or even offensive.I picked my pipe up from mx5 parts as I was close by ( which was straight forward) but I have just had some other parts delivered to me this afternoon which were only ordered yesterday afternoon so I am happy with the service from mx parts as well.

The only aftermarket exhaust that accommodates a 475mm cat I could find. Sounds absolutely fabulous when accelerating through the gears, but not obtrusive when cruising. Nicely made, with a sexy tailpipe. Service from Mx5parts was fantastic as always.

Great service again by MX5 parts. Not completely stainless but quality overall is decent, sounds good between 3-5000 rpm and fitting is a peice of cake.

I have had this exhaust on my car for just over a year now. The rubber mounts that came with it lasted about 3 months before they needed replacing. It now looks to have a lot of surface rust which is very strange for something made of stainless steel. Maybe because I live on the coast?The sound it gives is a nice deep burble that isnt too loud on low revs but barks nicely past 4k rpm.Fitting was fairly straight forward. The only issue I had was seized bolts on the cat but that wasnt down to the exhaust.Overall a good buy if you have the 475mm cat and dont want to do the downpipe conversion.

Quick and easy to fit and gives a pleasant sporty snort which brings a smile when driving with the roof down, yet not intrusive. No problems with knocking as previously reported

I've had the system on a few weeks now so had time for it to bed in and get over the "honeymoon" period. Overall very happy, but let's get the bad bits over. Like others, I found that the tailpipe doesn't match the bumper cut out correctly - may not seem a big issue but it looks wrong from square on the rear. Also, I was surprised that no washers were supplied with the fixing bolts - not a big hassle as I had my own but I would have considered it good practice to have included these.The good bits are the exhaust performs brilliantly - it's pretty quiet under light throttle so you don't look like a total idiot rolling through town, but the tone is excellent with a wide throttle opening and really gets a great edge above 5000 rpm. It's quietened a little after about 1000 mile on board, but overall is fantastic. The quality of mine was good, nice welds and good overall finish. Fitted it very easily in under an hour.The service from MX5parts was up to the usual excellent standard as well.5 star potential, 1 star deducted for not fitting the cut out correctly

I bought this exhaust some weeks ago, but only just had it fitted at the local garage,didn't attempt it myself as the nuts are always seized.It was a perfect fit and looks great.paid my bill then took it for a good old thrashing and once you floor that throttle it sounds fantastic...got the roof down as much as possible just to listen to it and i guarantee you'll have a big smile on your face.some reviews say it sounds too chavvy..... i think they have forgotten they are driving a roadster.just a little note to say that its supplied with standard gaskets but not a CAT to EXHAUST gasket which is needed,so buy one if you buy this exhaust.And because i have big grin on my face every time im out in my car,mx5 parts get 5 stars off me. thanks with a smile !

Delivery Information - MX5 Parts

We understand that its really important for you to receive your goods in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. To ensure that we can deliver this we have developed a strategic partnership with both the Royal Mail and our courier partner, Think Worldwide.

At the present time, we only offer one delivery option ‘our carrier’. We will dispatch your goods with the most suitable carrier, for main land UK deliveries this is normally Royal Mail 1st class for packages weighing under 1.5kg and Think Worldwide for those that are over.

Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the consignment and the destination address. For UK mainland deliveries they start at £1.97 for a package weighing under 300g and rise to a MAXIMUM of £9.95 for a package weighing 1.5kg or over (EXCEPT very large bulky items that have an additional shipping surcharge added). The exact delivery cost will be clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery times are estimated at 1-3 working days by Royal Mail, and 1-2 working days by Think Worldwide for mainland UK addresses. If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, we will dispatch the same day. If you order after 3pm, we will try to dispatch the same day, but if we cant it will be the next working day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be dispatched Monday. Items dispatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be dispatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t dispatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised dispatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note, shipping times are an estimate, and can not be guaranteed. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

A signature is required for ALL orders delivered by Think Worldwide. Someone must be at your delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 6pm on a working day. Please send it somewhere it can be reliably signed for, like your place of work, a neighbour, or perhaps your grans. We can (but we don’t like to) ask the courier to leave your parcel without a signature. If we do this, it will be YOUR responsibility if the parcel is lost or damaged. If you want it left, you need to give us your express instructions in the ‘additional information’ box at the end of the checkout process. It would be helpful if you could also indicate exactly where the package should be left.

If you need to change your delivery address, for any packages that have been dispatched with Think Worldwide, there will be an additional charge of £9.95 if the package has already been dispatched.

Please remember, even with Royal Mail deliveries, that any items which are too large to fit through your letter box will need someone to be available to receive the delivery. If the item cannot be delivered, you will be carded and given the option of either a re-delivery or you can collect your parcel from your local post office depot.

Our Guarantee - MX5 Parts

We guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts!

You have our absolute commitment as fellow MX-5 owners, car nuts, internet users and hard-working people that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts. If you’re not, let us know and we’ll sort it out!

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day . If you order after 3pm, we’ll still try to despatch that day but, if we can’t, we’ll despatch the following day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be despatched Monday. Items despatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be despatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items.

Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

We guarantee to replace any goods which aren’t suitable

We guarantee to accept back any goods that you do not want, are not suitable, have changed your mind about, infact, for ANY reason, provided the goods reach us within 30 days of dispatch from us, in their original condition and packaging. Please tell us why you are returning the items, just for our records. The original purchase price of the goods will be refunded on to the card that was used for their purchase. Sorry, but we can not refund the carriage costs.

We guarantee to sort out any problem with your order

We guarantee full warranty support on all items

Just contact us if you have a warranty problem. All goods supplied by mx5parts are from official sources and are covered by the normal manufacturers warranty.

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.
