New exhaust: (pics included)

Here are a few pics i took today. I ditched the E-Bay n1 stuff, it was just too loud and wasnt putting enough back pressure on the turbo. This Racing Beat muffler has APC 3.5" angle cut tips put onto it. Its AMAZING. it sounds so good, it sthe best sound i think i've ever heard on a car. and it looks better than any muffler i've had on an RX7.





more pictures coming soon!!

agreed on the looks. those tips fit it so well. what all did you change? just the muffler made that much of a sound difference?

hahaha!! you crack me up!!

hey thanks guys, its really starting to come together to be the car that i dream of.

Those rims are Konig Tuner 16x7. They are the 4x114.3 bolt pattern inherent to the gsl-se.

The muffler tips are APC "intimidator" tips, something like 2.75 opening and 3.5" angle cut, rolled, tip.

RB 2.5" downpipe
RB 2.5" silencer
3" silencer back & overaxle (with a 3" in/out glasspack in there)

LOUD AS HELL AND TONS OF BOOST CREEP!

new setup:
RB 2.5" downpipe

2.5" inlet , dual 2.25" (roughly) outlet muffler, with 3.5" tips (for looks).

One thing to watch out though since your car is so beautiful... the exhaust is very hot and can heat up the bumper skin right above it, I have a very similer setup but from Mindtrain, and I can tell the bumper was heated and turned a bit yellow... I still don't have a solution for this yet

sweet rims, awesome overall setup. I like it.

How much lowering does those eibach springs give you?
I need to lower mine and don't want to lower too much. That looks sweet with those 16s!
How do the springs handle?
