wel, finally got a new exhaust on my GSL-SE. the setup is a Racing beat header, then a 2 1/2 in. straight pipe back to a magnaflow muffer. The car is LOUD, but thats how i like my rotarys. THe tone is very deep until you get to the high rpms, then it just screams! I have already had some pretty big flames come out from behind it. The muffler seems to be pretty strong, but i will see how it hold up.


just a pic i thought was cool



The header and muffler


The old system





The new exhaust. If i get enough requests, then i might make a video. let me know what you think!

 

looks good

 

On a tuned car, I kind of like that muffer(sound wise). OnlyOnThurs has one as well....Nice job!

 

vary nice. it is 2.5 inch pipe? i want to go 4 inch. and plz make a video plz. plz make a video plz?

 

Looks good.

 

Hey buddy, you have a problem with that gas tank!!! That front shield should not be wet like that and thats pretty scary! Nice work though. Please, please get that fixed!??!

 

WOOT!!! GOT THE SAME MUFFLER! I love how the 12A sounds with this muffler!

 

yeah, i noticed that, ive had the gas tank out a few times, so i must not have put something back on tight, im thinkin i should get to that this weekend, haha.

i forgot to mention the power difference, OMG. its crazy. and even the free revs are much smoother and quicker. The car is definetly loving it.

 

what is your complete setup? the muffler looks way better on a nice rx-7 (unlike mine)

 

what model is that flowmaster? looks sooooooo nice under the car

 

right now.....all stock (well except this muffler of course and gutted cat LOL).....im attacking my exhaust next with my tax return...i just bought new suspension all around so i can wait for it to come in the mail WOOT!! Man i like your 7 i think it looks good! the muffler looks real good on yours. What kind of header is that on your FB in the pics?

 

make a vid

 

please!!!!!!!

 

make a video! i am going to be putting a RB header on my gsl with 2.25" pipe into a ebay straight through muffler and i know that goign to be hella loud!!!!

 

the header looks sand blasted, i thought it was supposed to be chrome?

 

i know how it sounds. i couldn't hear myself think above 2-3K tho...

 

Looks great..My guess is your state doesn't do smog checks for regisrtation renewals??????

 

Why do you want to do that? Are you pushing well over 500 hp with a turbo? Anything larger than 2.5" on a naturally aspirated street engine is worthless and will start to hurt your power. More is not better.

 

rookie117, what did you do with the aux ports? I thought the RB headers for SE's came with the lil Vac connection for the actuators? Does that one have it?
I've never really seen one, therefor, I ask.

 

Looks real sweet.

Just had our '80 at KDR for a dyno and Dave installed a 2.5" straight pipe from the header to the rear bumper. INSANE loud. We're going to try a SuperTrap to meet the db level requirement of some of the tracks.

 

is bigger the pipe the beter? or i can go 3 inch.

 

No bigger is not always better. Bigger is only better when you've maxed out what you've got. When you get too big you lose exhaust gas velocity which will hurt your power. You'll make less if you go larger than you need to. Stick to a 2.5" and call it a day. If you've got a peripheral port engine that needs to be tuned up high, then you'd need a 3". Until then just forget about going larger than a 2.5". It won't help at all.

 

oh. thanks. what type of metel did you use? i am going to use stanless steel.

 

i pulled them out, most people say that i would have no low-end power, but i didnt notice that big of a difference. This is a older Racing Beat header, and i think the precilencers usually have the vac connection anyways. im making a video today/tomorro and wil have it edited by this weekend!

 

thats real good to know..
cant wait for the vid.
