New muffler.

Im looking to replace my worn out and cracked Magnaflow on my SE with one of the following mufflers with a pie cut turndown. Loudness isnt too much of an issue around here, but do want it to sound good. Have any of you guys ever heard any of these mufflers in action?

QTP AR3 3"
QTP - AR3 Race Mufflers from QTP

Racing Beat REV30
Rotor Muffler, REV30 for RX7 1975-1985 - Racing Beat

Aero Turbine 3030

Pie cut tip similar to this.

The Racing Beat one has caught my eye for some time now, would be interested to see if anyone has it on their car and a video clip of it at all.

Just found this not really digging how it looks on there now, maybe if it was rotated 180 degrees.

You should look into their new Power Pulse. Its a strait through perforated core design. A bit over $300, but I bet it sounds like a 2nd gen PP system.

Borla FTW.

They seem to hold up fine (did for me for well over a year and then I sold it here), sound and flow great, and are rather inexpensive. Quite docile sounding when you want it to me.

My old setup:

The QTP you posted is also intriguing, but I definitely wouldn't go with a 3" exhaust on the street without a turbo. The above setup is 2", and it flowed very well, maybe too well even. It's been a while, but I think I noticed a slight reduction in low range power. I definitely thought I should have gone smaller, 1.5" or so, at times. That being said, that was my favorite setup I've ever had. Compared to: Racing Beat full exhaust, another RB header with custom setup, and currently have a full Rotary Engineering setup. Your experiences are guaranteed to be different.
