So leave your lito cars parked on the side of the road at the runs. and ill burn all the cars from turbo charged hondas to saleen mustangs. Meaning far east coast from far west coast i got it covered.
Ps if you beat me on the straight. "lets take it to the mountains!"

Geeezzz people, get it straight. The RB presilecer that he says he is getting will hook up to the stock split air pipe to provide the backpressure to operate the 5+6 ports.
Anyways, I say kudos for going for all out free flowing! Plug your ears, its gonna be fun... or loud.

I had an Apex-I N-1 on my (dare I say it) 95 Accord 2dr.. It was constructed well, and I agree the welds were pretty.
BUT- I ordered the two knockoffs for my 7 from speedycarparts.com and they looked identical and sounded just as good... Now check in 10 years and the difference may be noticeable, I don't know...

well i wouldn' t count on that sutup having enough backpressure to open s4 ports but niether does my setup so screw it. lol just get a electric airpump. And also although some cheapo mufflers aren't bad i wouldn't trust a cheapo muffler to last with rotary exhaust, so not a bad choice with the muffler but i woulda gone with a cheapo first and if i liked it and it didn't last then get a better one of the same design but better quality

well i think teh fact that i have a presilencer and an 18 inch resonator added to teh muffler which has a silencer would give me at least that 1.8psi needed to open the 5th and 6th ports.

Backpressure on any car (disregard the 5/6ports opening) is bad. From piston to rotary, anytime you have backpressure, you're losing hp/tq.
The reason you want an optimized pipe size is to have the maximum volume of exhaust gasses moving at the highest velocity speed. That's why you can't go too big, but also why you can't go too small on the pipe.

well at least it is a quality muffler, and i like tanabe's products.
that said, it is a lot of money to spend on a muffler like that.
oh, and if you can't get the 6pi working correctly, check out the write up in my sig.

damn thank you bro you rule. Yeah hopefully the resonator the presilencer and teh silencer on the muffler will create enough back pressure if it doesnt Ill go ahead and try ur mod

I love how many people hate on exhausts that are angled and the such (like Apex'i N1, which I have in dual form), but think the RB exhaust is a God send... all these same people think that Honda's are from Hell... how does nobody think that they sound exactly the same. There's a guy around here that has an N/A S5 with the RB exhaust, and it sounds exactly like my friends Integra GSR with Apex'i N1...

Is 18 inches long with out counting the inlet and 4 inch wide TIP!!!! It has a silencer that brings the output to 2.0 and the inlet is 3.0. I have a racing beat header and I already bought the RB presilencer getting it welded then adding an 18 inch magnaflow resonator to this muffler. It is a tanabe Racing medallion. Well enjoy the pics.

I don't think big tips look bad at all on an rx7. I don't know what it is but on honduhs they look just dumb but on our cars (maybe because they aren't econo boxes) they look great! I would almost rather a bigger tip muffler than the stock, I think it is more proportional to the body.

I like the stock system for sound and looks. A little louder wouldn't be too bad, but I like to be able to hold conversation in the car. If I want to hear it, I'll open the window.
