Well, can't help you on finding a catback, but since all the emissions stuff is taken care of by the catalytic converter, a catback shouldn't affect emissions - unless it was flowing a LOT more than stock. I'm not sure if a visual inspection cares about the catback stuff or not either.

High Quality and cheap don't go together. One or the other-- As I may soon be learning first hand.

So... you past emissions without a catback? How the hell did you pass visual insepection?

I am still sorta new here but I can tell you what I have heard and what I know. I have heard by many that the N1 is very very loud. Secondly I have heard by several people here that when the RX-7 is loud it sounds like crap. So I bought an Apex N1 before I heard all this had it for three days then yanked it, sold it on ebay and bought the borla and love it. No problems and performs and sounds great. I have a 1988 RX-7 Convertible NA

Check out there website for more info and dealers in your area, here's the link. Hope this helps you out a little at least

the corksport is cheap and really good too, I love mine....it's a loud setup though, but sounds realy nice with a cat installed which I guess you have since you pass emissions.
