The cheapest and easiest way to build a good exhaust is to do it yourself. Get a hold of a RB header, about 3 feet of stainless 2,5 inch tube, a 30 deegre bend, and a rear axle bend (not sure what you call it over there). Weld this up with a couple of good quality mufflers, any good quality freeflow stainless items should do ( we here in Norway use Ferrita). Simple job, should take about 6 hours+- coffebreaks. The mufflers are extremly durable and very high quality, and the soundlevels tolerable.

There is however no point in building any bigger than 2,5 inch, unless you have the mother of all turbos.. The effect will be reduced, rather than gained, and you sure as hell dont want that to happen!

I'll try to post some pictures of my own exhaust as sone *** possible..

Well most of us do'nt have a welder and the welding skills to do that kindof stuff, anotherwords we do'nt have enough money to buy a mig. were cheap. we spend money on the 7 only ok maybe more on the girlfriend than the 7 but still you get what i'm sayin.

Excuseeeee me... I did not realise this was a freaking spelling bee!

I dont know about you guys over there, but here in Norway, we actually have a strange people called WELDERS. They are often met hanging about in machine shops etc.. Anyone with a little experience should be able to do this job in very little time.

Just remember to use stainless steel thread or TIG, and you should be fine..

Ok to try and help answer your question...

If the exhaust system is for a Piston engin chances are it will not stand up too long against the heat produced by the rotory engin.

I don't recongnize the manufactuere name you used.

Is like a cat back or is it headders and junk, because if it is headers they won't fit the REX
