I think it looks like a Racing Beat exhaust... I don't understand.

SayNoToPistons - Ah, ok. My mind was boggled.

I have "fart cans" and they are not welded on.

i dont think so, theres 2 (or 3?) cats and it looks like the headers replace the first one (im not too sure, have some one confirm that)

dont even bother with the headers, racingbeat actualy suggests the presilencer + catback (no headers needed)

BTW that RB catback is pricey (belive me, i bought one)

^ Fartcans are autozone and walmart POS that you would get. mufflers like apexi n1's are not fartcans because theyre functional.

Yea, what SayNoToPistons said. I'm running the N1's, for the second time on my second 7. You didn't know you could buy a catback system that looks like that? Where have you been?

i just put a new header on my car that i got from a buddy, its not quite like RB, but yes, it did eliminate the first cat, however, i had to get a custom pipe built because the flange on the header was too small for the flange on the second cat, so, i just took the second cat out and had that custom pipe made, noticeable increase in torque for sure, its worth it

Racing Beat is gay with their exhaust applications. They build it so you either have to buy EVERYTHING from them, or go custom. None of the parts that make will bolt up with other companies, for the NA FC...aside from the catback.

The headers will provide as much if not MORE gain then removing the cat and a new catback. It is a very important peice to getting the most power out of a rotary...

Thats pretty much BS. The dual monolithic and catalytic converter is way more restrictive than the exhaust manifold. Have you ever looked at them up close and off the car? I've heard from a few places now that headers are not needed on a rx7 with stock injection system.

I mean why would racing beat say that if it wasnt true, they obviously have dyno tested both setups and they obviously want to sell headers. I have seen posts on this site where people get a header first while maintaining the stock exhaust system and complain about no noticable improvement... than they replace the cat system and omg so much more power... it must be the header...

Not to mention that NA rx7 with a header is just loud as hell. I dont think its worth it for a couple hp.

Replacing mufflers on a stock exhaust system is lame unless your's warrant replacing. If you have a nice exhaust system that has N1 style mufflers on it...I don't see anything wrong with it. Stock exhaust sucks.
