I want to get a complete (header to muffler) performance exhaust for my 85 GSL-SE. I was on the Racing Beat site and it looks like theres isn't CARB legal. Is this true? If so what is the best CARB legal complete exhaust system I can get for my RX-7?

Thanks

yah right.. good luck trying to find something that has a carb number..

 

no really, i donot think that any aftermarket exhausts are street legal in cali.. your best bet will be to get a header, cat pipe, and muffler.. and then when smog time comes, just *cough* find someone who does not care about visuals.

 

Is there anyway I could take RB's system and use a hi-flow cat with it (maybe where the mid-pipe goes?)

 

sure.. just get a custom cat pipe made. should not be to expensive...
make sure and keep your air pump and acv around though (and you probably would not want to strip off the emissions stuff)

 

Even with a cat it won't pass visual inspection without some green lubricant (ie $$$$$$$$)

 

but it will pass the sniffer test. it is alot easier to greese those dirty smog ****'s hands when you are not poluting their air too

 

what if i just get my car smogged right before i get the RB then just put the stock exhaust back on every 2 years? how many hours does it take to swap exhausts?

 

you can go ahead and do that.. just make sure that you keep everything... it should not take more than a few hours...

 

Thats what I...er some of my budies do, here in Wa.
