best exhaust for catless na?
I have an s5 na with a racing beat downpipe and presilencer on the stock catback, and I was looking at some aftermarket catbacks. In my opinion the car is too slow to justify being very loud, even though it'd be bad ass sounding hahahaha. I don't want the racing beat because I plan to do a turbo swap at some point.
What I want is something that will sound good but not be super loud is all. Something deep that'll let those flames out hahahaha. Suggestions? |
you have only asked 8 exhaust questions now. fuck

Please elaborate on that.

the cat back is swappable between the 2 the piping should be the same size. I am using a corksport system on my car til i swap in the -re, the only difference will be a downpipe instead of the header.

If the stock Y-pipe is in good shape then you just need to buy the mufflers, although personally I would tend to buy the entire catback because its a decent package deal and that way I know the Y-pipe will be good for a very long time. Racing Beat hides the hyperlinks to their mufflers in the description for their catbacks, so here are some direct links that are easier to follow: Non-turbo Power Pulse Muffler - Left for 86-92 RX-7 NT - Racing Beat Power Pulse Muffler - Right for 86-92 RX-7 NT - Racing Beat Turbo Power Pulse Muffler - Left for 86-92 Turbo - Racing Beat Power Pulse Muffler - Right for 86-92 Turbo - Racing Beat |

OK, so just use the Racing Beat catback turbo exhaust system. The only difference is that like most manufacturers, the turbo mufflers are designed for higher flow and have less noise suppression. Therefore, just like any other brand, you will need to either choose the louder turbo mufflers, or choose the quieter non-turbo mufflers and then swap them out later when you convert to a turbo engine. If you come across any brand of muffler that does not have a turbo and non-turbo version, then that either means that the mufflers are a little restrictive for a turbo engine or a little loud for a non-turbo engine. You can't have it both ways unless there are both turbo and non-turbo choices.

i think money is better spent elsewhere, you can have a local exhaust shop fab a cat back up for 150-250 depending on your local areas economy... its not like its a nice expensive car.. its a na rx7.. probably butchered all the hell anyway. an name brand exhaust system is just a waste. most rx7s i buy for 500, thats the cost of just the damn mufflers!

Or do as someone else suggested and fab something up. Only problem I've found with that route is finding a muffler that has stainless instead of fiberglass packing usually costs nearly as much as a RB one. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but going by their description the only difference between RB's turbo and n/a mufflers is the .375" dia. inlet pipe and I'm guessing the core as well.

So I'm definitely interested in the RB turbo catback now but will that .375 piping difference complicate things trying to hook it up to my RB presilencer?

Lol just get the turbo Catback from RB
That will save you time & headache when you'll swap to a TII You'll only have to buy a Downpipe when you swap engine + I think it's better to have bigger Cat Back on N/A than Smaller Cat-back on Turbo'd The difference anyways is 0.375 which is not even at the flange Lol why do I feel like everything I just written was already said ... ANYWAYS hard choice you got to do..I would think twice if I was you & ask more question :P just poking you |
In a bucket!

the best sounding one i've ever heard is the Knightsports 605 system, its quiet, but sounds like a race car.
http://www.knightsports.co.jp/product/fc605/ my Japanese friends say the FEED one sounds the best, but its loud. |

?????????????? for RX-7?FC3S? | KNIGHT SPORTS????????? my Japanese friends say the FEED one sounds the best, but its loud. Do you have clips yo? 130,000 yen is like $1300 eh? |
I have the full feed 94mm exhaust and it sounds the best from the tons of different exhausts I had on my different fcs from racing beat, trust, hks, apexi etc etc.
|
As appealing as that is, I do need to keep it under $700 or so for my exhaust

The turbo version is only slightly larger in diameter, but there are 2 of those pipes with slightly larger diameter which comes equates to quite a bit more flow. I would say these are your options. 1)Used quality dual exhaust 2) new custom single 3" mandrel bent exhaust. It will be loud 3) new custom crush bent dual exhaust. I don't recommend piping larger than 2.25" Of course these options change with hook ups. Another thing to consider is the exhaust tips looking decently even side to side. |
