Unhappy bloody loud

my stock exhaust system finally died and i had it removed, i was after that ding ding ding sound (yes i know the sound you guys don't like) and was told by the exhaust shop not a problem, well i ended up with an rx7 that sounds like a cross between a bloody spitfire and a holden 253 v8 with gas, but hell did it make a difference in horse power,

they put on extractors, 2 and a half inch pipe, 2 mufflers stainless steel packed one before the diff and one up back with a 4 inch crome dump (the dump made it even louder) the car droned so much you couldn't drive it, the mufflers are straight through perfirated pipe but with a bloody chamber half way which is where all the bloody droning is happening because i had the first one taken off and 2 walker bloody long resinators like torpedoes fitted, it stopped droning but is still loud as,

$865 later still no ding ding ding sound

any help would be greatly appreciated

the guy started the car up when it was on the hoist to check for leaks and it idled like a beautiful bridge port should but it's not bloody bridge ported yet can't seem to find the cause of that yet

help

I believe it when you say it's loud. I used to have a system that sounds pretty close to yours (two big resonators and one chambered muffler) and it was undrivable. But it DID make a hell of a lot of power. Now I'm running just the one hand-made rotary muffler and it's pretty quiet with a sweet tone. Where abouts in Australia are you? If you're in Brizzy I can give you the names of some shops that can help you out. If not try talking to one of the rotary workshops where you live. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

I heard a guy at an autocross with this set up and it seemed too loud to myself and friends. It was not "Pull me over and pepper spray me loud" but it would definitly not win you new friends in your neighborhood

My neighbors already hate us, they'd be indifferent about being woken up at 6am sunday morning once a month as i leave for an event. Me an my dad ride dirt bikes, and we set up a little practice track in our yard. Thats how we know they don't like us, because our bikes are kinda loud.

I am just saying that it ws too loud for my taste to be a daily driver. I do not know if I would drive it just too the track like that though. I probably would but the first time I got pulled over change to some thing different.
