as long as you didnt remove the cat itself...if you did, put it back on otherwise your 5th and 6th ports wont work.

I seriously doubt that. You only think it is faster because it is louder.

it makes it a little faster. all-in-all, it's not worth the noise. Rotaries are just way too loud to run like that. Save up for an exhaust setup, better then losing your hearing and tickets.

Congratulations! You will soon be recieving multiple tickets! All the money you will recieve in excessive noice violation fines will have paid for a nice setup, which would remove the Cat, and gained you actually noticeable horsepower!

Have fun being deaf, getting less gas mileage (obviously you're going to drive it harder), and having 1-2 extra HP!

You would actually notice more of a speed boost if you got rid of the old stock cat(s) themselves. I'm not saying remove it, but you may look into getting a high flow cat (expensive, bleh) or just a straight pipe (not expensive!) in it's place. You'll need mufflers though, I rode in my FC with the cat disconnected ONCE, never again. I had to drive with my finger in my ear, and I'm pretty tolerant to loud exhausts.

One thing though, without the mufflers you shouldn'lt hurt the car much. The underside of you car is going to get VERY dirty, and you'll probably smell exhaust more. The one thing I worry about is that RX-7s are known to shoot flames, and you don't really want flamage in that part of the car. It's not likely to happen with stock cats on the car, but anything is possible.

when you said 5th and 6th ports wont open with no cats is that because of a sensor or too much air i had strait pipes on my x7 and that was preety loud so i got a high flow cat and noticed more power.

depends if you have s4 or s5. s4, the ports open by back pressure from the cat. s5, they open with the air pump

Strait pipe=no aux ports on S4s, unless you open them by use of the air pump. And before you ask about how to search.

If you get the RB presilencer on s4's it will still operate the aux ports. I ran my car with only en exhaust manifold for a few days. Damn it was loud. Cops didn't care, though.

if straight pipe means a single exhaust pipe, then you're wrong. i have a 88 n/a with a single exhaust pipe and my ports work fine. i can post pics of the set-up if you like? (*disclaimer* if you mean something else by saying straight pipe then i'm sorry)
