NEED help deciding what is cheaper and best route
okay so i just bought some RB exhaust from another member today
My question is whether to just cut the mufflers down to size to fit my Y pipe i have on now so that way i can still put my stock ones or my cheapy N1 copies back on if i wanted...
Or just get a new Y pipe made to complete my FULL RB exhaust set up?? also that way i dont have to modify the mufflers and keep them the way they are
i know these mufflers were to be used with the full RB set up but i basically bought everything separate.. so i have the RB na headers and presilencer hooked up to my stock Y pipe and now a set of old school RB exhaust mufflers..
here they are after i polished them up =]
compared to stock
thanks in advance

Buy a racing beat y pipe. Then it will all bolt up. If that isn't an option you can get a custom one made. Ymmv with the quality of the Y split though.
Racing Beat Y-Pipe for all 1986-92 RX-7 Applications
Part Number: 16447
Retail Price: $225.00
That is straight from Racing Beat

The stock Y pipe isn't split all that bad really. The problem with it is how it is welded together (nasty like) not to mention it splits a 2.5 pipe into 2, 2 inch pipes.

+1...I have the old RB exhaust on my N/A (y-pipe and mufflers) and it still didnt bolt right up. There was the difference in pipe diameter and like a 3 inch gap between the pre-silencer and Y-pipe. So either way you're going to have an exhaust shop fab something up for you.
