Simons 014-H1R is a stainless steel catback sports exhaust developed for Mazda MX-5/Miata NA 1.6i-16V and 1.8i-16V from 1996-1998. The system is fitted after the catalytic converter and rearwards as a model-specific solution with focus on better flow, sporty sound and a more distinctive appearance than the original exhaust.
The MX-5 NA is a light and direct roadster where engine sound and exhaust note quickly become a major part of the driving experience. The Simons system gives the car a more lively and classic sports car sound without changing its simple character. During calm driving, the sound is deeper and fuller than standard, while under acceleration it gets a crisper and more mechanical tone that suits the 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and the lightweight rear-wheel drive platform well.
The stainless steel system has a 63.5 millimetre pipe diameter, which gives better flow and lower back pressure than many original systems. This can give the engine a freer character and a more direct feel when applying the throttle. The single 100 millimetre tailpipe gives the car a clean and sporty look without making the rear too exaggerated. The system fits from chassis number JMZ...308213 and cars with a catalytic converter with a flange-to-flange length of 475 millimetres.
The system is made from stainless steel for better durability and resistance to rust and daily use all year round. Simons is known for sports exhausts with good fitment, solid quality and sporty sound.
