I know the racingbeat is really good for performance but i hear it puts your reliability down.

what do you mean by cutting down your reliability? what did you hear? there are an abundant number of people who love the RB exhaust, i really haven't heard any complaints about it, except maybe that isn't loud enough .

An aftermarket exhaust should make your car more reliable if anything(ditching/replacing old cats). Rotaries love to breathe

Yeah, I dont know how an exhaust can make you car less reliable except if you had maybe a TII with a full exhaust system. Then you might be boasting higher than you wanted, but since you asked about a catback there shouldnt be a problem. Also, it depends on if you have emmision laws in you state. If not, rip those cats off.

If I had the money i would prolly go with a full racing beat package..... the header presilencer and dual mufflers... But then I saw the N1 but single wiht a HUGE tips makes it look like im trying to hard to be cool, tTHEN i saw the true dual setup at MAZDATRIX but its 1200 bux... so I am not sure what I want to get. 1200 bux is a lot for exhaust. I can get my tranny rebuilt and and set of 16 in wheels for that price.

Umm how would adding an exhaust hurt reliability? Unless it is a TII. I always thought that mod helps reliability??

Louder noise gives you a louder foot, don't you know how that works?

Jesus christ do I need sleep, replace second louder with heavier.
