FC3 Exhaust Help
 
I have a 1989 Rx7 N/A and I want a good sounding exhaust. Right now my exhaust is straight piped due to an exhaust leak and it sounds very high pitch at higher revs. I've seen the Racing Beat $1,200 exhaust system, but I really don't want to spend that much. I just want to get something that sounds deeper from what I have now. Not looking to spend over $100. By the way, I'm trying to keep the dual exhaust. Thank you.

Don't think you can get anything for less that 100...

castillo817 10-01-14 03:15 PM

A good quality dual exhaust?

RX-7FCS5 10-01-14 03:21 PM

Well its just like what you already said, a racing beat exhaust is 1200. That's a good quality exhaust. You could always get two mufflers and what not, then take your car to a muffler shop and get them to custom fab you an exhaust. Just you'll still be getting a decent bill

A decent dual exhaust will cost you NO less than $350..

What would be two good mufflers to get? When I had my civic, I bought a DC Sports muffler and installed it, still keeping my resonator. I had a good sound, not too loud or not too high pitch.

What would be the set up?

beachFC 10-01-14 03:47 PM

Not sure dude. I'm just saying you won't find a single thing for under that. Maybe used, beat, and rusty... IF you're lucky enough to find one.

Cheapest is ebay no doubt.

RX-7FCS5 10-01-14 03:52 PM

For the love of God, please don't buy one of those cheap knock-off's off ebay. Just spend the money and get a quality exhaust that will last

Lol well I'm not talking about the whole exhaust system. Maybe just the mufflers. Well not technically lower than $100 but something decent that's not too costy.

use $100 to purchase bus pass

RX-7FCS5 10-01-14 04:10 PM

And that brings us right back to this post. But really it should be no less that 300 per muffler

Even without a cat, a Racing Beat catback is well worth its pricetag. I have a straight-through resonator coupled with a RB TII Power Pulse catback and it PURRS. Nice and quiet, not obnoxious, but nicely pronounced when you put the fun pedal down.

If you can get a midpipe for cheap in the classifieds, grab the RB catback. You'll be very happy with the results.

And yes, it can handle belching flames with no problem :)

Power Pulse RX-7 Exhaust System for 86-92 RX-7 - Racing Beat
Will this be it since my RX7 is a N/A?

clokker 10-01-14 05:47 PM

Yes.

The large "Non turbo" graphic on the picture is the tipoff.

Rob XX 7 10-01-14 06:13 PM

quite a bit of a jump from less than $100 but a poor choice of exhaust makes the car 100% annoying to you and the rest of the world, chicks do not dig that shit either

clokker 10-01-14 06:29 PM

Whereas the subtle stainless glint of the RB system is a guaranteed panty dropper.

Yea I'll start saving up for the Racing Beat exhaust system and keep this straight piped exhaust. Thank you all!

I hope it wasn't the "guaranteed panty dropper" part that convinced you because honestly, that might have been a smidge exaggerated.
