How much do you want to spend?
How LOUD do you want it to be?
What kind of performance are you looking for?

LOL... Hey listen stevo... this is what i'll be doing... i'll be going with a Bonez cat, and soon, i would like to purchase the RP catback dual muffler kit available at www.rx7.com ... it looks pretty sweet, and i dont think the price can be beaten at $399.
If anyone has a better suggestion, i'm all ears
Thanks

There are several options.
For quieter ones,
you'll have to run the exhaust manifold going into a downpipe (2.5inch - 3 inch). Then depending on if you need emissions, you can run a pre-silencer or a cat (either a regular one or a random tech one. There is no such thing as a high flow since they all need to provide the same amount of filtration. Random tech is good because it uses a better core).
Then depending on cash wise, you can either get a good cat back or a shitty one.

exhaust

Hey I just got the RB catback and Bonez superflo system. Put it on my 88 vert....not a bad setup. It is pretty loud....nice DRONE at 2-3k but all exhaust is like that pretty much from my observations...

I was not impressed with the exhaust (how it came shipped to me), as it was all banged up and I had to do some bending to ready it for my car. But that's another story.

On a coupe, I think it would have quite acceptable noise levels....with the top up on mine its not too bad and coupes have a real top.

And ya can't beat that price!
