Fixing up the exhaust... quick questions.
I'm shopping around right now and thinking of fixing at least the cat-back portion of my exhaust. It doesn't hang evenly, and I dno't like the whole style. Too loud for me.
It's off an 87 GXL, so that's all 2.5" piping, right? I'm also wondering if the S5 and S4 exhausts are pretty much interchangable.
While I'm at it, how much do you think just the cat-back portion would run me, and how much could I sell the old ones for?
Thanks for any advice.
Oh yeah, here's what it looks like now:
I'm pretty happy with the OE stuff. I've taken out a FC with the stock piping on it and it sounded just fine to me and looked nice with the chromed tips.

Don't know about the rest of it, but for the "hangs uneven" part of it, just get some safety wire or equivalent and "help" the donuts out a little, if they're sagging a little too much...

How hard to you think it would be to get under there and just bend the left pipe?

You can't really see it in the pick, but the left side also is skewed to the left a little, so it's not coming straight out horizontally.

cat backs for rx7's are ****** amazingly expensive... but when i had this problem on my 88 base i just made my own dp/mp/y-pipe and ran it all back to stock (cloggy) mufflers. It's much lighter, trust me!
