Just so you know, the full racing beat exhaust isn't street legal in CA, if you get the header. I've got the RB header & muffler on, haven't put the presilencer on yet. But, it sounds so much better with just the RB muffler.

The $250 muffler from Mazdatrix sounds great : nice low rumble, no chainsaw sound.
I have a Pacesetter monza, unused in the box, for $80 if you want a cheapie. I changed my mind and decided to put another m'trix on the other car.

I have a RB header and presilencer into the stock mufflers on my RX7 and my RX4 and they both sound pretty good, although the mini-presilencer on the '80 is a little bit raspy when I get on it. The full-length presilencer on the RX4's 13B gives it a lower tone, very pleasing. All the "turbo" type mufflers I've heard sound pretty buzzy and metallic on rotaries. The header runs about $165, and the presilencer about $130 IIRC. You can always add the RB muffler as your budget permits.

I installed the RB full system over a year ago. After a week or so the exhaust note changed slightly, as with every muffler I've ever had... but since then it's been consistant with zero signs of wear. Incidentally, mine came with the O2 bung already added.
The fact that (a) the RB system adds 20-25hp and (b) Now Mazda goes to RB to engineer performance exhaust systems for some of their production cars tells me that RB knows their ****.
You can buy one from Mazdatrix, an RB dealer closer to you, or from Racing Beat themselves.

Well, maybe it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be... I needed a grinder to kill the old rusted bolts and LOTS of patience

I think you'll find a full RB exhaust is not legal in Cali anyway ... so its no good for this guy either

Prosthetic head.
Racing Beat is the easy answer. Tyr to find the different parts used, in good condition. It's also easy to install, so you'll save money.
Sounds a little louder than stock, but not too loud, and once the car is warmed up it has excellent tone.

Tisk tisk. This poor guy thinks he'll make his rotary sound like a puking honda and I could only find one sound clip to prove otherwise. sound clip
Unless you go RB or turbo, your car will sound like a chainsaw on crack. Actually, I kinda like the chainsaw on crack sound. There is no other engine that sounds like it.
