Re: Roadstersport Midpipe Installation

Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie here on this forum/website, first post and small intro.
I like to be pro-active to most of what I do and plan things out in advance especially when it comes to modding my car.
Tomorrow I'll be taking delivery from Carvana on a 2014 MX-5 (NC3) GT, with 6 speed manual and the PRHT. It is whatever color the red/burgundy looking color is...Radiant?
Anyway, my question is in regard to the HELMHOLTZ mid-pipe installation. I was reading Brian's notes and it brought me to this website/thread. However, I don't see much about the install of this mid-pipe or any of the challenges in Brian's notes. Granted those note's may be out dated and installation has improved, so can someone who has installed this mid-pipe and have had some issues, please post up the issue and how it was fixed?
In the photos it does look tight, so at first I just ignored that mid-pipe, but then I started reading about it and I'd like to know more.
Also, since the HELMHOLTZ mid-pipe does not have any drone, does that mean the other mid-pipes do have droning at certain RPMs?
This website and others have made my mod list a bit long and when added up is about 1/3 the cost of the car!
The mod gods have hit me and the car is not even here...however, I am going to do this in order to know how the mods affect the car. I have learned about modding cars with my past cars, unfortunately, $o has my wife...YIKES!
Thank you!
