LOL, they probably look at the car and think "hell, at least it's running"!

I can vouch for that too. He's got a low mileage 12a that pulls like a raped ape! Very quick car...

it idles really fast or is that cold engine in choke stage ?
with my dual straight pipes mine only sounded like that when I was choking it at like 2k, when I would flatten the gas peddle it would sound like a chainsaw surround sound just like yours prolly. Its an interesting setup I have never seen before on a fb, what sort of suspension mods and tires/tire pressures do you run ? I have the same wheels with traction t/a and I'm looking for some set up help with the air pressures.

I had true duals on my RX-7 earlier in the summer. Here is a vid of the car. Its a pacesetter header with the collector cut off, to dual 2" pipes under the axle, to 2 long Magnaflow mufflers at the back.

Hey now, don't get cocky kid! I resemble that remark...

Since you asked nicely, yes, I will post the videos for you. You're already included in a compilation video I'm putting together, but I'll do up a separate one for you in the mean time cause that project is pretty big and will take a while....

The second video you posted of running the car with side pipes would've been better if your friend wasn't having a seizure while filming. Really hard to enjoy the video when it's shaking around like that. But, interesting nonetheless. I agree with the others, the pipes should be angled back.

Alright, just to keep MIB happy I stayed up all night putting his video together. j/k. Actually it didn't take quite that long... Video quality is not bad, but for the record I did not shoot this footage (loaned the camera to a pedestrian).

It was still processing when I left for work, so I don't have the address. But if you go to www.youtube.com and search for "kentetsu rx7" it will come right up.

By the way Nick, I threw in a little bonus at the end for you... And I really love that little girl's comments like "daddy, that guy hit a cone", and "daddy, is he a crazy driver".... lmao.

yeah angle them back. And perhaps think about maybe 2 pipes for aesthetics. Right now it just looks like a foot peg off a harley or something. i know its just a race car but with the pep boys pipe the way it is , just looks weird rather than cool
