What exhaust?

Just wondering what exhaust you think is the best.

I wouldn't be looking for anything that is loud as all get out. Something with a good tone. But no Honda-tinny sounding exhaust.

Do any of your guys use the Supertrapp set-up?

Pitt, that is a Power Pulse muffler, not Power Plus. And its Racing Beat, although you got it from Mazdatrix. Its the same muffler me and Serzy have on our cars...

What other exhaust?

Does anybody have any other type of exhaust?
I would like to get a 4" single tipped that is chrome, or something like that.

I figure if I am going to spend the money I want a cool looking chrome exhaust.

I had a 4" tip and I was the laughing stock at work. It also made my car so loud that I was embarised every time I took off. I also had every little Honda boy tring to race me, It got really old and I took it off and replaced with the Power Pluse muffler.

What did you do with your O2 sensor on the RB street port system?

I got a streetable header from Racing Beat, a Super Turbo Dynomax muffler, and a Monza tip. I was plannin on goin cheap but it turns out I'm only goin to be about 100 to 50 dollars cheaper than the racing beat full system (single pipe set up). Oh and I'm scary loud.

If you're running an O2 sensor, get a bung welded in the header.

Or, order it from Mazdatrix instead of RB, and it'll have one installed already.

Mr ****, as you now know, the RB setup, just like most complete exhaust systems only stay quiet if you use the original components they were designed to work with. I learned this the hard way too. I used to have the short primary RB system and when the powerpulse muffler gave out, I went out shopping for something similar but cheaper. 3 mufflers later, I gave up. It was just too loud.

I picked up a full streetport system from RB last year and I have to agree with Serzy... Its awesome! I must be the only guy around with a quiet/fast RX7... in fact, the performance gained from the LOUD mismatched short primary system to the QUIET street port is amazing.
