Don't forget the resonator after the cat, otherwise the exhaust will sound pretty harsh with just a muffler. You can run a Magnaflow 4inch or 6inch round muffler in place of the factory resonator if you desire.

I have a Magnaflow Cat/resonator combo then the magnaflow muffler will go on at the end. -------------------- |

Exhaust installed today. It was running a little rough. I advanced the timing and it ran a lot better. Do i need to run 93 octane to get the best out of it?

Depends on how far you advanced it you might need premium. I run mine on regular fuel with the stock timing. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Check the timing with a timing light.
To read proper timing I think the engine had to be @ 750RPM and it has to read 10 on the crank pulley mark with the light set to 0, for the stock timing. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

You haven't been given nearly enough props for this. You've made it look cool for your son too. Nice work.
