i am starting to bring in the money, but not much, so i was thinking of getting a header and a single cat back, i heard it flows better out of a single catback. but the thing is i dont know what kind of stuff i need to complete this (if it works). i have a downpipe. yes, for my N/A. help me if im wrong or right, and correct me.

 

ok well get a good RB header and I hear good things about Apexi N1 and the corksport cat back.

 

could you include the prices of the stuff

 

um gimme a second


EDIT RB road race header is 134

Corksport cat-back is 298
Ni single is 519.95

 

also, what all do i need to have a COMPLETE manifold? like header, then downpipe, then catback. will that fit, or does it eliminate the downpipe?

 

remember i dont have much money

 

remember i dont have much money but i can make more

 

whats a Ni single?

 

sorry if this offends someones inteligence

 

 

and the header would attatch to the other end of that?

 

A road race header is dual not single, if you want single they sell a whole system from racingbeat.com, and mazdatrix they are both about the same price I think mazdatrix is a little bit higher, but for the whole system it is about $800, and dual is about $1200. And that is for racing beat. Well this has nothing to do with anything but my uncle Andy live in Bloomington to.

 

he can get a collector

 

hahah. cool. but at RX7.com i can get that single catback system for 519. and a header for 118 so a little under $800, yeah. i think thats what i'll save up for, my first pay check will be for about $100, so unless i get more hours, it will take a while.

 

A header will not mate to the cat-back if you do that you have to buy a pre-silencer, or have a pipe made that will conect the two.

Why?? if he is going to single it out jsut start with single in the firtst place.

 

Well there are 2 things you can do.

Go with little more top end or go with some good mid range power.I would recommend the midrange since you'll be in that range most often.

The top end:
1.Racing Beat Streetable collected header($185ish)

2.Presilencer(neededd to connect header to catback and replace main cat)($90 or 190ish can't remember)
-Definitely needed if you have a S4 and need the porta actuated.

3.CatBack. The Corksport single would provide more topend due to collected exhaust and large diameter.
It's like ($325ish)

Midrange:
1. Racing beat uncollected road race header.
2. Presilencers(2 needed)
3. mufflers and piping(2 mufflers and pipes)

Racing Beat or Mazdatrix sell complete kits but it's like $1k

This one provide more low end torque(needed for n/a's)
and mid range horse. People that do the Autocroos and stuff would prefer this one.

What's the use of top end power unless you can get to it in time?

 

Mazdatrix sells the DUALS for about 1300 to 1500 depending on what choice of mufflers you want. Mine cost me 1328 to my door. They are simply awesome

 

A collected Road Racer header will be much better than the Streetable header. This is because teh street header is has one pipe run into the other one instead of having both collected evenly.

 

i know where to get a "top speed" cat back for half the price of that apex n1. and its the exact same thing.

other than that, are there any tips anyone has when i am installing it, i havent delt with installing things much....

 

Have fun with those damn rubber bands that hold the exhaust system on. There fun to get on and off. And you need someone else to pull and push on it while you stretch them on.

 

if you know how to weld... go to HOME DEPOT get some good STAINLESS STEEL PIPES and weld your own exhaust... make sure you use a RACING BEAT HEADER and a HI FLOW CAT...

 

one of those rubber bands was missing so i replaced it with a metal ring type thing. they arent that hard to get off though, im strong...like an ox...
not really though

i should have been more clear-when i get under the car will i see the bolts and places i need to see clearly? will it be easy to spot? are there any specific things i need to know?

 

He's not that old doesn't have the money for a welder and is probaly like me and can't weld for a flip. But if you can go for it, it will be much cheaper. I wish I could actually use the welder we have and make a good beed but I suck at it.
