Hi all,
I'm working on designing a custom mid-engine car and would like to use a muffler that has the intake in the middle of the canister, and the outlets on the ends of the canister. The NC Miata muffler has this configuration. Do any of you have access to a NC Miata muffler that can measure dimensions A, B and C? Bonus points if you can also measure dimension D (center to center of exhaust tips).
I actually have one in my garage. These measurements were done with a tape measure so they could be off by a 1/4"-1/2".
A= 11 1/2" B= 8 1/2" C= 23 1/2" D= 34"
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! I modeled it in CAD using your dimensions, and it looks like it will fit well.

Looks like a cool project. Glad it helped.
Cool project. Any more details?
I have looked a bit for the same info in the past (center in/side out). How much power are you putting through the muffler?
You have probably done the same searches, but if not: Consider:
BMW 3 series: quite a few have bypass valves that are either electric or pressure actuated. Some models are two bulky heat shielded cans with a connector pipe, but the F30 335i is a normal muffler shape.
Nissan/infiniti: 350/370Z, murano, G37, Q50/60, EX35. Lots of Nissan choices.
Subaru: BRZ, hatchback WRX STI
Scion/Toyota: FRS, MR2, Celica, new Supra
Chevy: lots of Camaros. Some of the modern ones look like they have the valves.
Summit Racing will let you search their muffler offerings with dimensions and layout. Makes it really easy to filter to just the right item.
Thanks for all the feedback! For those who are interested, here is a link to my website regarding this project:
