3" is around 80mm

AfAIK rx7store has a good price on the duals. I hope you have a TII though. I start to cry thinking of the sound of those things on N/a's.

their rice on both. They are just too loud on N/a's. Atleast TII's keep them quieter. Its a fart can. Just look at the ******* thing.

TII+N1's=loud enough to hurt your ears after sitting at a stop light idling.


N/a+N1's=your ears fell off taking off from the stop light.

N1's are no where near the quality of racing beats mufflers. Sorry. I've hear the real APEXi ones and they aren't up to snuff with the RB stuff. Plus the piping starts to rust if you live in a northern climate. My friends car is from VA and the pipes are going rusy now. My pipes are still in respectable conditions though.

No fart can will ever sound like Racing Beat.

Ofcoarse my car was in Texas all the time. We don't get snow only rain. Sound quality you have to hand it to the people at Racing Beat. They know how to design a muffler.

I'd say buy Borla then if you don't want to spend over 500 and want duals. They aren't as "look i'm ******* loud and annoying" sounding but they are inexpensive.

Yeah then you have to have the welded on. You'll probably end up around the same area if you have them use mandrel bends at a quality shop.
