all I have on mine was a header and pre-silencer
spit flames after that

though I also removed my dashpot since I hate the way the car drives with it

the ohter thing you can do is remove the TPS though you car might run funny and parking lots are a bitch cause the car has bad surgin at 1500 rpms but then again the car thinks it is running full throttle all the time so you are going ot run a little richer
ghetto yeah but hey it does work

Wouldn/t gutting the pre and main cats have the same effect of a down and mid pipe? I am getting the N1. So if I have the cats gutted, can I shoot flames?

gutting your precats and main cat is the same thing as a straight pipe, so if you are running rich (which all RX7s are) you will be shooting flames. If you are spending so much money on a cat back, why not get a straight pipe as well?
