Hi Guys,

I need to put a new exhaust system on my '88 NON-turbo. Which aftermarket system is NOT loud or raspy? I do NOT have a Cat on the car - it was removed by the previous owner. The car sounds great right now with the factory exhaust.

Thanks - Larry Bushaw

Racing Beat...

Borla Xr1 mufflers sound very nice.

i dont know about the racing beat a friend had it and it sounded like a swarms of bees in a tin can but i think he might of just had the header and presilencer

The full RB system WITH the presilencer sounds good on the N/A... A midpipe in place of the presilencer will give it an uncontrollably raspy sound...

+1 for racing beat, quality is also excellent.

Racing beat all the way.
Has a very deep smooth sound, not too loud either.

Headers are a huge reason why some rx7s sound so buzzy. All cars will sound more metallic and make more noise up front with headers, the rx7 is just really loud for some reason. The smoothest sound is obtained with a high flow cat and the stock manifold with some good mufflers.

Heres a clip of mine Racing beat w/ Bonez Cat Sound Clip

Borla duals, cheaper than racing beat. Deep smooth tone, nice and sedate until you punch it.

do you have a sound bite or video of those Borla Duals? that'd be sweet

GReddy Power Extreme. Had it on my for just about 6 years and love it over everything else I've ever heard.

Wrong, I have the racing beat turbo back system adapted to my 13bre. No cats, connected to the stock turbos. Its not louder than the stock NA exhaust, and no the stock exhaust had no holes or damage.

Racingbeat is great

^^you have to remember though that turbos quiet the exhaust alot

I like my Generic Random Magnaflow (no idea what kind it is, just that the mufflers are Magnaflow) system... Not loud, although it sounds nice (but still loud enough that your family will know when you're coming home... 45 seconds before you get there).

No idea about power or how much it costs. Don't like the tips, either (they're square).

my stock manifold to a resinator or pre silencer ( I really have no idea what it is) to a gutted cat, then out to two bomex canisters is what I have, sounds really deep and not raspy at all.

Borla + anything else that's half-assed quality.

I have to say RB is superb...

New all the way back, or was 5 or 6 years ago... turbo downpipe, mid pipe, high flow main cat, greddy exhaust.

Not true. I have a RE-Amemiya dual exhaust, that is actually 3" all the way to the tips. DOES NOT narrow down to 2.25 like every other dual exhaust out there. It looks completely stock, and its so damn quiet with my Borla XR-1 pre-silencer. My turbo spool is louder than the exhaust!

Bukwild

I think the main point is no matter what catback you use a borla xr-1 or a magnaflow ss will deepen up the exhaust note when installed in the mid pipe area.


hands down the best 2 exhausts products a rotary guy could want no matter what HP desire.

headers are usually what give a car the raspy sound. I personally like it, because it is like saying, hey look at me, I have headers/header on my car.
