HKS Legamax Premium | The best OEM+ MX-5 Exhaust?

In today's video it's time to take a look at the HKS Legamax Premium exhaust I fitted to my 2020 Mazda MX-5. Is this the best "OEM+" exhaust out there?

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the comments on this video, exhausts are pretty subjective so just trying to add my experience and opinion to the world! If you're not subscribed please do, it really helps me out, and if you could also check out my latest video on detailing the MX-5 (the algorithm hates it!) that'd be great too. Thanks and more to come!

I tried the HKS Legamax Premium, it sounds good but i wanted something just a bit more. I ended up with the HKS Legamax Sport and i absolutely love it.

Yep, the Legamax Premium is fantastic.

Found a bargain near-new twin-tip Premium unit 12 months ago n DIY the install. Most satisfying upgrade so far almost 2 years into ownership. Next upgrade will be tauter dampers that don’t spoil the ride

I have the BBR200 kit on my NC2 (extractors, cams, panel filter & ECUTEK tune). Love the kit but hard to recommend after the hassles dealing with them, from Australia.
I am also running a Racing Beat muffler, works well.

Sounds good! Question: I spend way too much time on interstates, driving at a steady 65-75 mph (100-120 km/h) for hours at a time. Under those conditions, is the stock exhaust quieter, maybe less droning? That’s my only concern about upgrading. Thanks!

I still haven't found the perfect exhaust yet. The rasp of the HKS is not for me. I have the Borla S-Type box which is kind of mellow and feels even more as you described OEM+. What I really want is a really deep, base-y exhaust note and just a little bit more volume (over the Borla). I came from a Fiat 500 Abarth with no mufflers and a decat down pipe. That car sounded 5X's more aggressive and racey than my ND2.

Sounds a bit tinny to me. I prefer a more throaty bassier note

raspiness doesn't do it for me and, I never managed to understand the enthusiasm for this type of exhaust sound; I also really don't like the Honda K series metallic tone so maybe I am the defective one; what I do love and like to hear are deep, full, rich, baritone sounds; not loud, not screaming but a baritone "bark" that gets the job done and doesn't drone at highway speeds.

Which year is your car? 1.5 or 2.0 version? PS, thanks for the video, but every man has his own taste, and the HKS is not for me 😘
