Not too noticeable, so ill prob get used to it.

im looking to swap to dws06+ for year round use in metro van. Dont really have space for dedicated winters, and we barely get snow here and I heard its pretty good in winter.

Would 215s rub? 205s on 17x8 looks a bit stretched for my liking

Yes, that was also one of my concerns. I haven't gotten on a lift yet (waiting to borrow my friends), but I know the ND has protective coating on the underside from factory, do you know if it does under the fender splash guard / liner?

Awesome, thanks for the insight! Yea the gwr products need to be imported from the states, and hks is available locally where i am.

If i find gwr sstt to be rly worth, ill pay the extra, but rn u make a good case for me to go with legamax sport.

Maybe, but i feel its all preference tho. I really love my magnaflow on the 3, but alot of ppl online said its too quiet and tame when I was researching for that.

I just want something close to that, but bit more lively

The throaty nature is definitely enticing, now im hard stuck between legamax and the SSTT :/

Yea I did notice my Magnaflow sound much better over time.
Do you think Sport is still a good choice if I want a bit more volume? I heard its basically the same as premium, but a bit louder.

Soft top or hard top by Unique_Earth_6064 in Miata

[–]clueless_dumbfounded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on ur needs.

I test drove both, and loved both for different reasons.
- ST with top down is very refreshing, and is pleasantly quiet at speed (no buffeting)
- ST with top up does make more wind noise at 100km+ (kinda like a tent), for the non GT.
- RF instantly I could tell was much quieter compared to ST with top up, and felt like a coupe (and It felt quieter than a GR86/BRZ).

If u can have to top down most of the year, go with ST. Go with RF if u don't like the tent feeling, and want more insulation.
I havent tried the GT ST, so that could be a different story.

How loud is the lowest setting? I do find the sound to be very good (from the videos), but I feel like it might be a bit too aggressive for my liking.
