I don't get why NA people are buying a turbo catback such as the N1. The piping is too large for a NA. You will lose power in the low end and that the exhaust will be tremoundously loud for a non turbo application.

I use to have a kakimoto racing N1 muffler that has 3inch piping. It was very loud. I switched over to a 2.5inch piping magnaflow muffler and my car is alot better overall as compread to my old setup.
Its true that you will gain top end with your N1 but you sacrifice alot of low end torque with that piping.. NA arn't built for the turbo catback.

I currently have a Magnaflow on my car until I get new mufflers and go true duals. It is loud since I have cats removed and it is a stright through SS muffler. They can withstand the exh. heat without problems. Not only that but they also come with a lifetime warantee I beleive, and no where on it does it say "do not use on rotary engine". So if it does burn out send it back and get replaced or money back. The one I am using is a friends and he was gonna use it on his 7 if and when he gets it but was not sure if it could stand up to it either, so we put it on mine as a test cause my exhaust was all rusted anyways. It works fine.

Now Ractive is another question, I have heard that they tend to burnout easily if you get the wrong one, but I know there are a couple that will last.

My Magna flow is a very nice sound. None of that rice lawnmower sound but a very low bass sound.
My exhaust setup consist of a custom race header (2.5) piping, to a magnaflow muffler (used as a resontor), then to another ultraflow resonator and then to my magnaflow muffler. Exiting out on my passenger side.

Everything on my setup is straight thru and my bends are very smooth. NO crush bends at all. The reason why I had to go with two resonators because I have to stay below 102 db at the race track. I found magnaflow the best cause of if the welded body unlike other brands stiched, and of the warranty.

With my last Kakimoto N1, without siliencer i was decked in at 108db and with sileincer 103db...
