Mazdatrix true dual system - Too loud for street?

I really, really want to buy the dual system for my 88 n/a for obvious reasons. But the noise concerns me. I am worried that it will attract too much attention (some is okay ). Has anyone heard this system on the street or is anyone running this setup now?

If it is too loud, I'll just quit my money saving and invest in some straight pipe and a kick-*** catback. Thanks for the info.

its dual all the way to the back man its already a full system, i dont think its too loud myself, but i love loud the video mazdatrix has of their system doesnt seem to be too loud, hell i would take ~40hp for any amount of loudness lol im gonna also make a custom dual exhaust system for the n/a's it will be dual all the way to one side and go into one X-TEC muffler, i heard that you get more power going dual all the way into one muffler at the end, im gonna have a dyno at home so i will be able to check out gains with the intakes im making and the exhaust, and together

Yeah - it's funny to see people ****** their kids from the street when you go buy at 5MPH.

I love it when the jump onto the curve when your WAILLLIN 4500 rpms in 1st @ 10MPH.

Almost feel like the batmobile - except I can't knock cars out of the way at random.

Not too loud. Mellow. Dual from front to tail pipe. Great hp gain. None of that *I think its better* talk. Worth the money.

Yea, from what I've heard, its good to collect the exhaust a certain number of inches from the exhaust manifold...just cant remember how many. Exiting on one side though..I dunno, that doesn't seem RX7 like to me
Your gonna have a dyno at your house, and your not having a rotary party!?

The racing beat full dual with two presilencers and their mufflers is IMHO not too loud for the street.

I upgraded from a stock header, bonez rice pipe, and rotary performance cat-back to the RB full dual, and the RB full dual was quieter.

Hey i am thinking of saving up for the true dual mazdatrix exhaust...thats what you have right? Were you satisfied with it? Also...I took a look at your page. Seems I might have the same problem as you. My car seems to leak coolant possibly. I had to put water in the other day & when I changed my oil I noticed an ever so small puddle of water in the middle under the engine. Any ideas? Thanks alot.
