What's up

I just installed the Bonez Superflo System this weekend and I figured that I would post my thoughts about the installation and performance of the pipe.


Installation:
- Installed the pipe by myself
- All bolts and gaskets came off without too much of a struggle without any penetrating lube.
- The hardest part was definitely getting the Superflo System into place and bolting it up, since I was doing it by myself
- Overall installation time: 45 minutes

****You will probably experience some smoking for the first 15 miles or so due to the new gaskets mending into the pipes. don't worry it is normal as long as it doesn't smell like exhaust, then you have a leak somewhere and need to fix it.


Performance:
- Very noticable low-end torque increase
- The 7 feels quicker at 0-4000 rpm's
- No performance noticed at 4000 and above
- Slightly deeper tone than before
- "Raspiness" at high rpm's is gone, but you can still tell that it's a rotary!

I installed the Bonez SuperFlo a couple of years ago and still believe it was one of the best modifications to my car.

I also agree that it is reasonably easy to install. Using a car jack to support the weight of the cat. & pipes can help in the installation and make it easier to line up the bolt holes.

Kudos on the good modifications, and you have a nice looking car too.

 

thanks cbrinega,

yeah it definitely is something that an average do-it-yourselfer could tackle.

BTW, I love your web site man. I have used that site to help me make decisions many times

Those pictures on my site are actually about a year old. They are before I lowered it and all. I have to get on that

Thanks for the feedback! I'm planning on getting the same cat when I have the cash.

 

I had an empty cat on my car when I bought it and I put a bonez double cat on that to pass emissions. It sounds 100% better and passes with flying colors. Bonez was an easy install, lined up perfectly. Al the hardware was in order (minus 2 bolts + 2 washers) A- to rx7.com for this.

I put a Bonez SuperFlo on my car a few years back. I really liked it. It did make the car noticably louder though. I later put on a set of Racing Beat mufflers to compensate.

Sadly my car developed a coolant seal leak and later blew an apex seal. I think I may part it out.

 

Thaniel-
If you decide to part out your car, how much would you sell your Bonez SuperFlo system for??

 

I put the stock cat back on the car and will likely sell the car.

Thanks

 

i just remember the new cat smell,.,, man did it stink, but overall i like it

 

Since this thread is only a week or so old, I thought I would post in here instead of creating a new one....

I just installed the Bonez cat in my FC today, and it was a quite easy install. The only real problem I ran into was once I had the old cats off and I put the new one on, I hadn't noticed that the new cat didn't have the nuts build into them like the old ones did, so I had to make a quick trip to the auto parts store, but aside from that it went fine.

One thing though, the metal tubing that pipes air into the cat- I cut it with a hacksaw and put in heater hose to connect it to the cat. However, it just kinda hung there loose. I took another clamp and attached it to a random hole under the car to secure it, keeping it a good distance from the cat and pipe. Do you guys think that will be okay?

The cat itself did give my car a bit more pep, especially at low end, but I can feel it up top too. The car pushed all the way to 7500 rpm (was still pushing, but I shifted) and before it stopped pushing right at 7500. Nice. It's also a tad louder now. A little louder than I like, but not really loud at all, I'll still probably have the quietest FC at the Charlotte meet this Saturday. I can really hear the backfires though...I wonder if I can shoot flames?
